A tipper truck (also called a dump truck) is a heavy-duty commercial vehicle designed to transport and unload loose materials such as sand, gravel, dirt, coal, and construction waste. The cargo body can be hydraulically tilted backward or sideways to dump its load quickly, making it indispensable for mining, construction, road building, and infrastructure projects worldwide.
The Sinotruk Howo TX 400 8x4 Dump Truck is a flagship heavy-duty dump truck manufactured by China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (SINOTRUK), one of China's largest truck producers with a global dealer network serving clients in over 150 countries and regions. Built on decades of engineering expertise, this model delivers exceptional performance in the most demanding mining, construction, and infrastructure projects.
At the heart of the Sinotruk Howo TX 400 lies the legendary WD615.47 diesel engine, producing a maximum output of 371 horsepower at 2200 rpm. This proven powerplant features a 6-cylinder in-line configuration with turbo-charging and intercooling, displacing 9.726 liters. The advanced BOSCH high-pressure common rail fuel injection system generates up to 1600 bar of injection pressure, ensuring superior fuel atomization, stronger pulling power, and reduced fuel consumption across all operating conditions.
The HW19710 transmission offers 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. The dual countershaft main transmission combined with planetary gear auxiliary transmission delivers smooth, reliable gear shifts and excellent adaptability to varying road and load conditions.
The Sinotruk Howo TX 400 sits on a robust 6x4 drive configuration. The front axle (VGD95) handles up to 9,500 kg while the heavy-duty rear tandem axles (MCP16ZG) support up to 16,000 kg each, providing outstanding load-carrying capacity. Central single reduction with hub reduction and differential locks ensures maximum traction on rough terrain. Standard 12.00R20 radial steel wire tires (10 + 1 spare) and a 300L fuel tank support long-distance material transport operations.
The robust cargo body measures 5400 x 2300 x 1450 mm, offering an impressive 18 cubic meters of loading volume ideal for moving large quantities of sand, gravel, earth, and ore in a single trip. The advanced hydraulic tipping system enables fast, complete unloading, dramatically improving job site efficiency.
The TX-F driver cab features a one-sleeper, two-seat layout with a damped adjustable driver's seat, heating and ventilating system, 3-point safety belts, adjustable steering wheel, air horn, and air conditioning. The 4-point support fully floating suspension isolates road vibrations, keeping drivers comfortable during long shifts in demanding environments.
Global fleet operators consistently choose the Sinotruk Howo TX 400 for its combination of power, reliability, and low cost of ownership. With an extensive worldwide dealer and service network, genuine spare parts are always within reach. The proven WD615 engine platform has accumulated millions of operating hours across Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America.
The Sinotruk Howo TX 400 8x4 Dump Truck is equipped with an advanced hydraulic tipping system that makes cargo unloading fast, efficient, and effortless. The optimized cargo box design ensures maximum loading capacity and thorough unloading, significantly improving operational efficiency on busy construction and mining sites.
