Used HOWO 6x4 Dump Truck for Construction and Heavy Material Transport
Product Information
The Used HOWO 6x4 Dump Truck is a practical heavy-duty transport solution for construction contractors, mining companies, quarry operators and bulk-material fleets. Built on the proven SINOTRUK HOWO platform, it combines a strong chassis, tandem rear drive axles and a hydraulic tipping body for demanding daily transport work.
The truck shown in the photos uses a three-axle layout with dual rear drive axles. This configuration provides better traction and load support when carrying soil, sand, gravel, stone and other construction materials.
For buyers who need productive hauling capacity without adding a new truck to the fleet, a properly inspected used HOWO dump truck offers a flexible option for both local projects and export markets.
Heavy-Duty 6x4 Chassis
The 6×4 drivetrain uses one steering axle at the front and two driven axles at the rear. This layout is widely used on heavy dump trucks because it provides good traction when the vehicle travels on construction roads, quarry surfaces or uneven work sites.
A commonly published HOWO 6×4 configuration uses a 9-ton-class front axle and two 16-ton rear axles, together with heavy leaf-spring suspension. The arrangement helps distribute load across the chassis and supports frequent tipper operation.
The dual rear tires also improve stability when transporting heavy bulk materials.
Proven SINOTRUK Diesel Power
A common specification for this generation of HOWO 6×4 dump truck is the WD615.47 diesel engine.
This 9.726 L engine uses a six-cylinder in-line structure with water cooling, turbocharging and intercooling. Rated output is approximately 371 HP / 273 kW at 2,200 rpm, while maximum torque reaches about 1,500 Nm in published configurations.
The engine is paired with the HW19710 manual transmission, which provides 10 forward gears and two reverse gears. The broad gear range helps operators match speed and torque to loaded climbs, construction roads and normal transport conditions.

Published HOWO 6×4 versions vary by production year, destination and body configuration. SINOTRUK sources list 16, 18 and 20 m³ bodies and several engine-output options. Therefore, final specifications for a used unit should be verified individually.
Hydraulic Dump Body for Fast Unloading
The large steel dump body is designed for bulk cargo such as sand, soil, aggregate, demolition material and stone.
A hydraulic lifting system raises the body to discharge material directly at the job site. This reduces manual handling and shortens unloading cycles. As a result, the truck can complete repeated loading and unloading tasks efficiently.
Typical HOWO 6×4 bodies are available around 18–20 m³, although body dimensions and plate thickness can vary. Published configurations use reinforced steel floors and side walls for construction and earthmoving applications.
Suitable for Tough Working Conditions
A used HOWO 6×4 tipper can be used for many heavy transport jobs, including:
- Construction site earth transport
- Sand and gravel delivery
- Quarry material haulage
- Mining support transport
- Road construction
- Infrastructure projects
- Demolition material removal
- Industrial bulk-material handling
The combination of high ground clearance, strong suspension and tandem rear drive axles helps the truck operate on surfaces where normal road trucks may have limited traction.
Practical Cab for Daily Operation
The HOWO heavy-duty cab provides a wide windshield and large side mirrors to help the driver monitor surrounding traffic and the work area.
Common HW76 configurations include two seats, an adjustable driver's seat, safety belts and air conditioning. Some versions also use a sleeper berth, making the truck suitable for longer transport routes as well as job-site hauling.
For used trucks, the dashboard, air-conditioning system, lighting, mirrors, seats and electrical equipment can be checked during pre-delivery inspection.
Inspection Points for Used HOWO Dump Trucks
Condition is especially important when purchasing used heavy trucks.
Before delivery, buyers should check the engine for abnormal noise or leakage, test the transmission and clutch, inspect the rear axles and differential, and examine the chassis for damage.
The hydraulic tipping cylinder, pump, hoses and body hinges should also be tested. In addition, tire condition, brake response, suspension components and electrical functions should be reviewed.
Photos, videos and chassis information can be supplied for individual unit evaluation before shipment.
B2B Used Truck Supply
For distributors, contractors and fleet buyers, used HOWO trucks can be selected according to application, destination and required configuration.
Different units may be available with different horsepower levels, cargo-body sizes, tire configurations and cab specifications. Therefore, buyers can confirm the required model, production year, engine condition, body dimensions and quantity before placing an order.
Export preparation can also include machine cleaning, basic inspection, loading arrangements and shipping coordination according to the destination.
