Use Cases
Common applications include construction sites, quarry/mining delivery, and road & infrastructure projects, where the heavy-duty tipper’s high horsepower and large payload shorten cycle times and reduce fleet size. As a versatile dumper/truck, it’s also well suited for bulk earthworks, aggregate delivery, and municipal heavy-haul tasks.

Detailed Description
The Foton Auman EST chassis is built on a high-strength alloy steel frame with a typical 1800+2700+1350mm axle spacing, paired to heavy-duty 16T/18T rear axles and 12.00R20 engineering tires — delivering exceptional torsional rigidity and on-site maneuverability. Engine options (Foton Cummins or Weichai) range up to 352 kW / 480 HP with max torque 1900–2300 N·m, ensuring strong low-speed pulling force for loaded climbs; matched with Fast (Fashite) 12/16-speed gearboxes the powertrain gives precise control in steep or rough conditions. (Advantages: high torsional strength, powerful low-end torque.)
The cargo box is offered in rectangular or scoop (簸箕) styles, made from high-wear resistant steel, volume from ≈16 to 22 m³, and a front-top hydraulic lift with single/multi-stage cylinders that achieve ≥45° tilt and a typical empty-load lift time ≤30 seconds. This combination of large capacity, durable box material, and reliable hydraulic system makes unloading fast, clean and dependable for continuous heavy cycles. (Advantages: large capacity, fast reliable unloading.)
