Howo Dump Truck 12 Wheeler

This Sinotruk Howo 8x4 12 wheeler dump truck carries 40-50 tons in a 24-30 m3 U-shape or high-cube rectangular box built from Q345B / NM400 wear-resistant steel (bottom 8 mm, side 6 mm). Dual HF9 9-ton front steering axles plus dual HC16/MAT16 16-ton hub-reduction rear axles spread the load across four axles, powered by a WD615/D12 engine rated 371, 380, or 400 hp with an HW19710 10-forward 2-reverse manual gearbox. HYVA front-lifting telescopic cylinder raises the body up to 48 degrees. Howo HW76 extended cab with A/C, single sleeper, LHD/RHD. 12 wheels + 1 spare.

8x4 Four-Axle Layout - Up to 50 Tons Without Sinking

The Howo 12 wheeler uses a dual steering front axle plus dual drive rear axles, spreading maximum payloads up to 50 tons across four axles. This geometry prevents ground sinking on soft quarry floors, improves directional steering control when fully loaded, and keeps the truck within strict highway axle-load regulations on paved stretches between sites.

371-400 hp Powertrain with Hub-Reduction Axles

A high-torque WD615/D12 engine rated 371, 380, or 400 hp drives through an HW19710 manual gearbox to twin 16-ton hub-reduction rear axles. The combination easily navigates muddy quarry roads, steep inclines, and rough off-road haulage routes, while the HYVA front-lifting telescopic cylinder raises the body to a 48-degree angle for fast, clean unloading cycles.

Maximum Axle Load Distribution

The 8x4 chassis spreads heavy payloads across four axles, preventing pavement damage and improving directional steering control when fully loaded - while staying within strict highway axle-load regulations.

High-Volume Heavy-Duty Cargo Box

NM400 or Q345B abrasion-resistant steel with reinforced vertical ribbing takes the heavy impact of excavators loading granite, blasted ore, and dense wet gravel without distorting the side walls.

48-Degree HYVA Telescopic Lift

The high-capacity HYVA front-lifting cylinder delivers smooth, rapid elevation up to 48 degrees, cutting cycle discharge time while maintaining lateral tipping balance on uneven unloading pads.

Twin 16-Ton Hub Reduction Rear Axles

Two 16-ton cast steel rear reduction axles with inter-wheel and inter-axle differential locks provide maximum traction in deep mud, soft sand, and slippery quarry gradients.

Reinforced Dual-Layer Frame

An ultra-stiff double-layer chassis frame (8+8 mm, with 8+8+8 mm local reinforcement) resists intense torsional twisting when navigating rutted construction sites under full load.

Ergonomic HW76 Operator Cabin

Four-point floating suspension, high-capacity air conditioning, an adjustable steering column, and a comfortable sleeper berth minimise driver fatigue across multi-shift operations.

Open-Pit Mining Operations

Shuttles high volumes of coal, iron ore, copper ore, and heavy overburden from pit floors to crushing plants, with the 12 wheeler's traction keeping production moving on steep haul ramps.

Large-Scale Earthwork and Infrastructure

A high-capacity carrier for mass site grading, dam construction, river dredging, and highway foundation backfill where each trip must move maximum tonnage.

Bulk Aggregate and Quarry Haulage

Moves heavy crushed rock, river sand, gravel, and demolition rubble with minimal trips per day - the 24-30 m3 body and 40-50 ton payload cut cycle counts on high-volume sites.

6x4 vs 8x4 Fleet Planning

The 12 wheeler (8x4) out-carries a 10 wheeler (6x4) by 10-20 tons and adds a second steering axle that spreads engine and cargo weight evenly, preventing steering sinkage on soft terrain.
