4.1 Power System
The HOWO TX 8x4 dump truck is equipped with mature MC11 and Weichai WP12 heavy-duty diesel engines, with multiple horsepower options to meet different load demands. The engine outputs strong low-speed torque, delivering stable climbing power under full load on mountain roads and mine slopes. Optimized fuel injection and combustion technology effectively reduce fuel consumption per ton of cargo. Multiple emission versions are available to pass customs clearance of African, Southeast Asian and Central Asian countries. Matched with a durable 10-speed manual transmission, power transmission loss is minimized to improve daily transportation efficiency.
4.2 Chassis & Load-Bearing Structure
The 8x4 four-axle layout with three rear load axles disperses cargo weight evenly, bringing super load capacity and stable driving even with maximum loading. The lightweight thickened riveted frame balances strength and self-weight, reducing extra fuel consumption caused by empty vehicle weight. Reinforced heavy-duty leaf springs and shock absorbers buffer bump vibrations on rough construction roads, protecting all vehicle components and extending service life. The full air brake system with ABS provides reliable braking performance during downhill fully loaded transport to avoid safety hazards.
4.3 Tipper Cargo Box & Hydraulic System
The cargo compartment is made of thickened manganese steel, featuring impact resistance, wear resistance and anti-deformation, suitable for transporting stone, ore, construction waste and muck. Customers can install retractable waterproof tarpaulins to prevent dust pollution and material splashing, complying with urban green transport standards. The front multi-stage hydraulic cylinder supports fast, smooth and stable tipping unloading, effectively avoiding residual sticky materials inside the box. Cargo box length, width, height and wall thickness can be customized according to customers’ actual transport scenarios.
4.4 TX Series Driving Cab & Comfort Configuration
The exclusive HOWO TX wide single-row cab adopts streamlined exterior design to lower wind resistance and save fuel. Large-area front windshield and multi-angle wide rearview mirrors eliminate visual blind spots during narrow-site operation. The interior is equipped with adjustable shock-absorbing driver seat, constant temperature air conditioner, multi-functional instrument panel and storage space. Integrated dustproof and shockproof design adapts to dusty, bumpy mine and urban construction environments, greatly easing driver fatigue during long-hour continuous work.
4.5 Overseas Market Core Advantages
1. Cost-effective balance: Optimized lightweight design cuts fuel cost, with lower overall vehicle price than high-end HOWO models.
2. Ultra-large loading capacity: Higher single trip cargo volume than 6x4 tippers, fewer transport trips and higher work efficiency.
3. Wide scene compatibility: Suitable for urban muck transport, highway bridge construction, sand aggregate yards, open-pit mines, quarry stone delivery and land consolidation projects, fits complex overseas road conditions.
4. Convenient maintenance: Universal spare parts shared with all HOWO series trucks, complete global spare parts supply chain, low maintenance cost and easy repair.
5. Full customization support: Engine emission standard, cargo box dimension, automatic tarpaulin, vehicle color and auxiliary devices can be modified as client requirements.
6. Global after-sales network: Sinotruk overseas service stations provide technical guidance, spare parts supply and after-sales maintenance support for overseas dealers and end users.
4.6 Main Application Scenarios
Urban construction muck cleaning, large-scale highway & bridge engineering, sand and gravel aggregate transportation, open-pit mine ore haulage, mountain land reclamation, quarry stone delivery, port bulk material transportation.
