Use Cases
Commonly used in construction sites, open-pit mining, and large civil works, the HOWO TX 8×4 excels when you need reliable heavy hauling and frequent tipping cycles. It’s also widely specified as a site dump truck / tipper for road building, quarrying and bulk material transfer where high payloads and fast cycle times matter.

Detailed Description
1 — Powertrain & chassis (key specs & benefits).
The HOWO TX 8×4 is offered with multiple diesel engine options (e.g., WD615 series, WP and WP12 variants) and ratings around 371–430 HP; the 400 HP configuration is a common choice for heavy duty work, paired with 10-speed manual transmissions (HW19710 family) for durable, serviceable driveability. Benefit: strong torque and proven driveline for heavy starts and steep grades.
2 — Cargo box, capacity and payload (capacity focus).
Typical HOWO TX 8×4 cargo bodies for the 400HP chassis are around 7300 × 2300 × 1700 mm (≈28.5 m³) or similar sizes (other configs 22–31 m³ are also offered), with floor thicknesses commonly 8 mm (floor) / 6 mm (sides) built from high-strength steel. For payload guidance, use the industry norms: an 8×4 configuration generally handles ~40–60 tonnes gross loading capacity depending on body size and local legal GVW limits — we size the body and suspension to achieve optimal real payload within that range. Benefit: large volume + heavy payload capability and custom body sizing on request.
3 — Common features, production & quality control (detail advantages).
Standard HOWO TX builds include reinforced frame rails (300 mm channel options), robust front/rear axles (HF9 / HC16 family or equivalent), multi-leaf suspension, new 12R22.5 or 12.00R20 tyres, air-assisted clutch and dual-circuit air brakes with exhaust/engine retarder options. ZW Group offers custom paint, axle tuning, tyre choice, and cargo box layout to match your fleet standards. Quality & packing: each truck passes factory load/tilt tests and road-worthiness checks, receives protective coatings and spray-paint according to color choice, and is prepared for RoRo or containerized export with secure packaging and documented checklists. Benefits (bold): durable frame and axles, factory load testing, export-ready packaging.

Q2: Can you customize the cargo box dimensions and capacity?
A: Yes — ZW Group routinely customizes box length, height, floor/sides thickness, tailgate type and internal linings to meet volume, density and unloading needs.
Q3: What engine and emission standards are available?
A: HOWO TX supports WD615 and WP engines with Euro II/III/IV/V options depending on market and emission package selected.
Q4: Lead time and warranty?
A: Lead time depends on new vs used and customization level — typical build/prepare time is indicated at quote stage; standard factory warranty terms apply on new trucks and are provided with each contract.
Q5: What test & packing procedures are used before shipment?
A: Trucks undergo factory load/tilt tests, road tests, anti-corrosion painting, and export packaging (secure blocking/bracing for RoRo, or sea-ready container prep) with full test reports.
