The HOWO 6×4 dump truck, produced by Sinotruk, is a versatile and powerful heavy-duty vehicle widely used in construction, mining, and other fields. Below is a detailed introduction:
Basic Information
-
Driving Type: 6×4, with three axles and ten wheels.
-
Cab: Commonly features the HW76 cab, which is spacious and comfortable, with an integrated sleeper for rest during long-distance transportation. Some models are equipped with a galvanized bumper that has good corrosion resistance and can effectively protect the front of the vehicle from collisions.
Chassis and Axles
-
Chassis Frame: Typically uses a double-layer frame (8+8/300), offering high strength and reliability.
-
Front and Rear Axles: The front axle is usually the VGD95 model with a load capacity of 2×9,000kg, featuring a double T-section beam for steering. The rear axle is the HC16 model with a load capacity of 2×16,000kg, using a pressed axle housing, central single reduction with hub reduction, and differential locks between wheels and axles.
Power System
-
Engine: Equipped with efficient diesel engines, such as the WD615.69 engine with 336hp, the WP10.380E22 engine with 380hp, or the WP12.400E201 engine with 400hp. These engines feature six cylinders in-line, water cooling, turbocharging, and intercooling, delivering strong power, reliable performance, and good fuel efficiency while meeting Euro II emission standards.
-
Transmission: Generally uses the HW19710 transmission, offering 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. This provides a wide range of gear ratios to meet different driving conditions and hauling requirements. Some models also come with a power take-off (PTO) function.
Suspension and Braking System
-
Suspension System: The front suspension consists of 10 semi-elliptical leaf springs, hydraulic telescopic double-acting shock absorbers, and stabilizers. The rear suspension uses 12 semi-elliptical leaf springs, bogie springs, and stabilizers. This configuration provides strong load capacity and good shock absorption, ensuring comfortable driving on bumpy roads.
-
Braking System: Features a dual-circuit compressed air braking system for service brakes, with spring energy and compressed air operation on the front axle and rear wheels for parking (emergency) brakes. An auxiliary engine exhaust brake is also included. This ensures reliable braking performance and high safety during driving.
Cargo Box
The cargo box dimensions vary across models, such as 5,600×2,300×1,500mm or 5,300×2,300×1,500mm, with a capacity of 16-28 cubic meters. The box floor is made of 8mm-thick steel plate, and the sides are made of 6mm-thick steel plate. It features a front lifting system operated by hydraulic rams, enabling smooth unloading of materials like sand, gravel, and coal at the destination.
Electrical System
Operates on a 24V voltage system with negative grounding. It includes a 24V, 5.4kW starter, a three-phase 28V, 1,500W alternator, and 2×12V, 165Ah batteries. The vehicle is equipped with standard electrical features such as a cigar lighter, horn, headlights, fog lights, brake lights, indicators, and reverse lights, meeting daily usage requirements.
Other Features
-
Steering System: Equipped with ZF power steering, model ZF8098, featuring hydraulic steering with power assistance. This ensures light and flexible steering, reducing driver fatigue.
-
Tires: Typically uses 12.00R20 radial tires, with some models offering optional 315/80R22.5 or 13R22.5 tires. These tires provide good grip and wear resistance, ensuring driving safety on various road conditions.
-
Fuel Tank: Features a 300L or 400L fuel tank, meeting long-distance transportation needs and reducing refueling frequency.
The HOWO 6×4 dump truck boasts strong load capacity, excellent power performance, high reliability, and good fuel efficiency. Its integrated braking system and comprehensive electrical configuration ensure driving safety and stability. It is suitable for large-scale transportation tasks in construction, mining, and other industries. However, specific configurations may vary across different models and customization options. For instance, some models may offer additional features like a lane departure warning system (LDWS) or collision warning system (FCWS) to enhance driving safety.
