Product Details
|
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. |

40-50 ton 8x4 with dual steering axles - what body volume fits your site?

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. |

Core Advantages
|
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. |

Application Scenarios
|
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. |

Mining, earthwork, or quarry haulage - let us match the box and axle spec to your tonnage.

FAQ
What are the main operational benefits of a 12 wheeler (8x4) over a 10 wheeler (6x4) dump truck?
A 12 wheeler (8x4) features two steering axles, giving higher payload capacity (up to 40-50 tons vs 30-40 tons for a 6x4) and a larger cargo box (up to 30 m3). The extra front axle also distributes heavy engine and cargo weight more evenly, preventing steering sinkage on soft terrain.
Can Chengda customise the cargo box shape and steel thickness for heavy mining?
Yes. We offer custom box options - a U-shape rounded body for sticky soil, or a heavy-duty rectangular box with 10 mm bottom and 8 mm side NM400 wear-resistant steel plating designed for sharp granite and iron ore loading.
How does Chengda support spare parts for Howo 12 wheeler tippers?
We maintain a comprehensive spare parts inventory at our primary export logistics warehouse - hydraulic cylinders, oil seals, control valves, engine filters, steering knuckles, and brake drums - all fast-tracked via international air express to your job site.
