Use Cases
Common use cases include construction site material handling and roadside/utility lifting, where the Howo NX functions as both a heavy-duty transport vehicle and a mobile crane. Its crane truck / lorry crane versatility makes it ideal for loading containers, placing precast concrete, and municipal utility work.

Detailed Description
The Howo NX (390HP) chassis combines a high-torque diesel engine with a robust 6×4 drivetrain to provide steady road performance and on-site stability. Typical gross vehicle weight (GVW) for this class is around ~25,000 kg (approx.), giving the truck a strong payload base for carrying materials and mounting cranes in the 6–18 t lifting class (depending on the installed crane model). The reinforced frame, multi-leaf suspension options and heavy-duty axles help maintain load distribution and longevity under repeated lifts.
As a mounted crane package, the unit commonly pairs with telescopic or folding boom cranes from established makers (typical choices: XCMG, Yongjiu, etc.), offering rated lifting capacity options commonly between 6 t and 18 t and maximum lift heights of ~8–20 m (approx.). Controls, outrigger layout and optional hydraulic stabilizers are configurable per customer needs, so the Howo NX is suitable both as a new purchase (factory-fitted crane) and as a used/refurbished chassis with retrofitted superstructure.
