HOWO 8×4 351 hp Mining Tipper Truck with 30.0 t legal payload
A HOWO mining tipper for quarry and construction haulage in West and East Africa. 73.6 m³ body, 30.0 t legal payload, 351 hp driveline; plate thickness and unloading direction built to the material.
Core capabilities
| Parameter | What it means on the job | Conditions | Factors that change the result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50,000 kg GVW − 20,000 kg curb = 30,000 kg | Legal payload is about 30.0 t per trip — matching the factory rating | Factory curb weight and GVW as built; destination road rules apply | Body thickness options, added equipment and fuel level |
| 73.6 m³ body vs 30.0 t legal payload | Half a body of 1.6–1.8 t/m³ stone reaches the limit; the full body suits 0.8–1.0 t/m³ coal and loam | Loose density of quarry materials vs light loads | Material density, moisture and loading practice |
| 351 hp (261 kW) engine | Holds loaded speed on ramp and haul-road gradients | Factory engine rating with the specified gearbox | Altitude, gradient, load level and maintenance |
| 35.0 L/100 km fuel consumption (claimed) | Gives a baseline for haul-cost budgeting on site moves | Supplier-claimed figure under loaded haul conditions | Load, gradient, idle time and driver practice |

Parameters depend on the configuration; final values are fixed in the specification annexed to the contract.
This 8×4 HOWO tipper moves aggregate, laterite and quarry products on construction and mine haul roads. The 73.6 m³ body carries a full day of loads, with about 30.0 t legal on the 50,000 kg GVW.
The body hoists and drops a full load in one cycle at the stockpile; bottom and side plate thickness, cylinder position and unloading direction are set against the material before production. The 351 hp driveline with FAST 12 GEARS holds that load on haul-road gradients.
As a factory build from CLW Group, the specification is fixed in writing before production; export documents are prepared for the destination market and the unit ships by RO-RO or flat-rack via Lagos, Tema, Mombasa and Dar es Salaam.
Frequently asked questions
What is the truck's realistic carrying capacity for loose materials like gravel or soil?
The truck is engineered for a payload of around 20 Tons, but you must always check the final payload limit and volumetric capacity of the cargo box against your specific country's local weight limits and road regulations.
How effective is the 8x4 drive on very muddy or steep construction sites?
The 8x4 tandem axle configuration provides significantly better traction and stability than standard drive systems, making it highly effective for navigating the low-traction, uneven surfaces common in quarries, mines, and undeveloped construction sites.
What assurances are there that the dump body won't wear out quickly when hauling abrasive rock?
The dump body is constructed from high-tensile, abrasion-resistant steel (such as NM400 or similar high-grade alloy), which is specifically designed to withstand the heavy impact and friction from abrasive materials like large rocks and ore.
How can I ensure the truck is safe when dumping a heavy load on uneven ground?
The truck is built on a heavily reinforced chassis for maximum stability. It should be equipped with an Anti-Tip/Tilt safety system that monitors the angle and limits the hydraulic lift if the ground is too uneven or unstable.
If I'm frequently driving downhill fully loaded, what features help control the speed?
In addition to the standard air brakes, the truck is equipped with an Engine Exhaust Brake or a hydraulic retarder. These auxiliary braking systems are crucial for controlling vehicle speed and preventing brake fade on long or steep descents.
How quickly can I get a replacement part if the engine or chassis breaks down?
Since Chengli often partners with major chassis manufacturers (e.g., Sinotruk, Foton, Shacman), critical parts for the engine and chassis are typically widely available through established national and international distributor networks.
Does the truck come with a warranty, and what does it cover?
Yes, all new commercial vehicles come with a warranty. This usually covers the chassis, engine, and specialized upper body/hydraulic system for a defined period. The exact terms and duration need to be confirmed with the distributor at the time of purchase.
