Description

This is a SINOTRUK HOWO 6×4 knuckle boom crane cargo truck, an export-specialized model. It is a popular multi-purpose vehicle integrating transportation and lifting functions for the African engineering market. Painted in clean solid white, it can transport cargo and perform hoisting work simultaneously, widely used for moving and lifting construction materials, machinery, pipes and precast components on site. It adopts the classic wide single-berth HOWO cab. The front features the signature HOWO grille and SINOTRUK CNHTC logo. Combined externally mounted rear-view mirrors deliver a broad field of vision and effectively reduce blind spots. The cab is fitted with shock-absorbing suspension and an air conditioning system to ensure comfort during long working hours. Left-hand drive or right-hand drive can be customized to meet the regulations of the destination country. It is powered by a proven and stable 371 HP mechanical pump engine. The engine is highly compatible with local fuel in Africa with low failure rates, and spare parts are readily available locally for easy maintenance. Matched with an original SINOTRUK manual transmission, it has abundant torque reserve to deliver stable and reliable power when climbing with heavy loads and travelling on rough terrain. It comes with a 6×4 (10-wheel) heavy-duty chassis with dual rear axles and a reinforced high-strength alloy steel frame for outstanding load capacity. It is equipped with heavy-duty multi-leaf spring suspension and large-size off-road tires with strong traction, suitable for unpaved roads such as mine tracks, dirt roads and gravel roads. A large-capacity aluminum alloy fuel tank extends the driving range and reduces refuelling stops. Red-and-white side protective rails are installed to comply with overseas vehicle safety regulations. The superstructure is fitted with a yellow hydraulic knuckle boom crane. The compact folded boom takes up less space and offers flexible lifting performance, enabling hoisting operations in confined areas. It is equipped with multi-way hydraulic control valves, high-strength boom, lifting hook and hydraulic outriggers. The outriggers are deployed during operation to stabilize the truck and guarantee lifting safety. The cargo bed is welded from high-strength wear-resistant steel plates with reinforcing ribs. The side gates are hinged and openable for easy loading and unloading, satisfying both haulage and lifting requirements. Robust and durable, this truck serves two purposes in one unit. It saves the cost of renting a separate crane and requires simple maintenance, making it a highly practical engineering vehicle for African infrastructure projects.
