Sinotruk HOWO 8×4 Dump Truck, 75 m³ shipping volume

What this machine is

A Sinotruk HOWO 8×4 tipper with the shortest body of the three we hold, and the newest specification. Four axles on twelve 12.00R20 tyres, a 380 hp engine in China V, a 12-speed manual gearbox and the HW76 single sleeper cab. Payload 35 to 45 tonnes.

Overall 8.50 m long, 2.55 m wide, 3.45 m tall. Left-hand drive, convertible to right-hand drive. It is listed as new stock at model year 2021.

What it is used for

Construction and mining, on dense material.

Ore and rock. Loaded under a face or from a stockpile, where a cubic metre weighs a great deal and you reach 45 tonnes with the body well short of full.

Wet sand and aggregate. The same arithmetic once the rain starts.

Heavy spoil and hardcore. Site clearance where the material is compacted earth and broken concrete rather than light rubble.

Why the short body is the best-value truck we sell

There are three 8×4 tippers here on the same driveline with the same payload rating, and this is the one worth explaining properly, because its advantage is not obvious from a photograph.

Put the four tippers on this site side by side on shipping volume:

• 6×4 tipper, 25 to 30 t payload: 77 m³
• 8×4, 8.50 m, 35 to 45 t payload: 75 m³
• 8×4, 10.00 m, 35 to 45 t: 88 m³
• 8×4, 11.50 m, 35 to 45 t: 102 m³

This truck carries fifteen tonnes more than the 6×4 and occupies two cubic metres less on the vessel. That is not a small saving on a marginal difference. It is a whole extra axle and half again the payload, landed at your port for slightly less money.

It also happens to be the newest and cleanest of the used tippers we hold, at China V and 380 hp, which matters in the several countries that regulate imports by emission standard.

What China V means for your import →

Where it loses. The body is short, so light bulky material fills it long before the axles are loaded. If you haul coal, wood chip or waste, take the 11.50 m truck and accept the freight. And like any four-axle truck, two steering axles make it long through a turn and heavy on soft ground: on an unmade or wet site, the 6×4 is the truck that keeps working.

Condition, and what we do before it ships

Through our own workshop before it loads: inspected, put right, and photographed at each stage.

This unit is listed as new stock, which means it has not worked, so what to ask for is different from the used units. Ask for photographs of the plate and the emission marking, because on a truck bought partly for its China V status that is the document that matters at your port.

Shipping it

75 m³, the lowest figure of any tipper on this site. Sea freight is charged on volume, and this is the page where that fact works in your favour rather than against it.

Loaded at our yard in Tangshan, shipped through Tianjin Port.

What to tell us

Your material and roughly what a full body of it weighs. Your country, so we can check the current emission and age position on imports before you commit. Your destination port, the quantity and whether you need right-hand drive.
