HOWO 8x4 400HP Flatbed Truck

The Sinotruk HOWO 8×4 heavy-duty flatbed truck is a top heavy machine transport truck trusted by mining and construction contractors across Mauritania, West Africa, and the entire African continent. Specially built to haul oversized engineering equipment on rough African job sites, it is powered by a high-torque Weichai 400HP efficient diesel engine, delivering strong horsepower and steady torque with excellent climbing ability for sandy desert tracks, bumpy unpaved mining roads, and remote rural construction routes. Paired with a heavy-duty multi-speed manual gearbox, the 400HP rigid truck runs reliably for long-distance haulage of excavators and backhoe loaders, maintains good fuel efficiency, and stands up to continuous heavy-load operation in tough African working conditions. This heavy equipment carrier adopts a reinforced 8×4 multi-wheel chassis, fitted with heavy-duty 9.5-ton front steering axles and twin rear drive axles. The upgraded chassis greatly raises the total load capacity and improves side stability when transporting heavy construction machinery on uneven desert terrain. The low-bed flatbed truck comes with a solid one-piece reinforced deck made of high-strength steel. The flat transport platform uses anti-slip checkered plate and a dense cross-member subframe design, which can hold overweight heavy machines such as excavators and backhoe loaders without bending. Both chassis and flatbed are coated with multi-layer anti-rust and wear-resistant paint, making the HOWO 8×4 flatbed transporter ideal for long-term outdoor use, hot tropical weather, and rough off-road mining sites widely seen in Mauritania and West Africa.

Key Features:

· Heavy-Duty Reinforced Flatbed Platform: 9,000×3,000mm flatbed dimension. Manganese steel, 8mm thickness, anti-slip pattern plate. 3-4mm checkered plate front fence. Solid one-piece reinforced deck made of high-strength steel. Dense cross-member subframe design holds overweight heavy machines without bending. Multi-layer anti-rust and wear-resistant paint for long-term outdoor use in hot tropical weather and rough off-road mining sites.

· Advanced Full Hydraulic Ramp System: 2-section hydraulic ramp: 3,800×800mm. 1 unit hydraulic cylinder per ladder. Rear full hydraulic loading ramps enable automatic lifting, lowering, and folding of heavy tail ramps. The hydraulic system runs via the truck PTO power take-off unit. The ramp has a good approach angle, supporting safe roll-on roll-off loading for excavators, wheel loaders, compactors, and backhoe loaders. No extra crane is required for loading heavy machinery. It cuts site labour costs, shortens machine transfer time, and boosts working efficiency for African mining fleets and road construction companies.

· Sinotruk HOWO 8×4 Reinforced Chassis: 8×4 configuration, left-hand drive. Front/Rear axle loading: 9,500/9,500/16,000/16,000 kg. Wheelbase: 2,250+5,400+1,350 mm. Max driving speed: 95 km/h. Reinforced diaphragm clutch. Service brake: dual circuit compressed air brake. Parking brake: spring energy, compressed air operating on front shaft and rear wheels. Auxiliary brake: engine exhaust brake. Power steering, hydraulic steering with power assistance.

· Weichai 400HP Engine – High Torque for African Conditions: Model WP12S400E201. 400 HP, 294 kW, 12L displacement. 4-stroke direct injection, 6-cylinder in-line with water cooling, turbo-charging, and inter-cooling. Euro 2 emission standard. Paired with HW19710 manual transmission, 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears.

· Long-Distance Fuel Capacity: 1 unit 400L + 1 unit 600L aluminum alloy tank for long-distance transport.

· Off-Road Tires: 12.00R20 18PR off-road pattern tires, 12 pcs with one spare tire (13 units total). Working condition for rough construction site roads and desert.

· Operator Comfort Cabin: HW76 H76 cabin with one sleeper berth, factory air conditioning, safety belts, left-hand drive.

· Side-Mounted Tensioners: Equipped with side-mounted tensioners for securing transported machinery during transit.

· Versatile Applications: Widely deployed across a diverse range of heavy industries, including civil infrastructure development, open-pit mining operations, municipal engineering projects, and commercial heavy equipment rental fleets. Serves as a vital logistics asset on large-scale construction sites such as highways, railways, and airport terminals.

Application:

· Heavy Machinery Relocation: Cross-regional transport and rapid relocation of heavy tracked or wheeled machinery, including large crawler excavators, heavy road rollers, wheel loaders, and bulldozers. Ensures they reach project sites efficiently and without causing road damage.

· Oversized Cargo Logistics: Frequently utilized by industrial mining enterprises, large-scale steel structure fabrication plants, and specialized logistics companies. Its high-rigidity platform is ideal for transporting oversized, indivisible, and non-standard structural components.

· Mining & Construction: Open-pit mining operations, civil infrastructure development, and commercial heavy equipment rental fleets.

· Infrastructure Projects: Highways, railways, and airport terminals.
