Frequently Asked Questions – Howo Cargo Truck
1 What is the payload capacity of Howo cargo truck?
The payload capacity varies by model, typically ranging from 10 to 30 metric tons. For example, the Howo 6×4 model commonly handles 15-20 tons, while the heavy-duty Howo 8×4 models are designed for 25-30 tons, depending on configuration and local regulations.
2 What types of hydraulic systems do Howo cargo trucks use?
Howo cargo trucks primarily use telescopic (multi-stage) hydraulic cylinder systems, with either front-mounted or middle-mounted configurations. These systems are powered by a gear pump driven by the truck’s power take-off (PTO) and are designed for reliable and powerful lifting of heavy loads.
3 What engine options are available for Howo cargo trucks?
Howo cargo trucks are commonly equipped with WEICHAI (Weichai Power) diesel engines, renowned for their durability and torque. Options range from around 290 horsepower for standard 6×4 models to 420+ horsepower for heavy-duty 8×4 models, meeting various emission standards including Euro III and Euro V.
4 What are the chassis specifications for heavy-duty models?
Heavy-duty Howo models feature a rugged ladder-type frame chassis built from high-tensile steel. Key specifications include increased frame height and thickness, reinforced crossmembers, heavy-duty leaf spring or air suspension systems, and robust drive axles from manufacturers like HanDe or Steyr to withstand constant heavy loads and rough terrain.
5 What safety features are included in Howo cargo trucks?
Standard safety features include an exhaust brake for downhill control, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), a reinforced cab structure, and a robust handbrake. Operational safety is enhanced by a reliable hydraulic system with safety valves to prevent accidental lowering, and many modern models offer optional rear-view cameras and alarm systems for reversing.
