Use Cases
Common use cases include construction site material handling, loading/unloading of prefabricated units, and utility/municipal tasks where a self-contained lifting + transport vehicle replaces separate crane and truck. It is also widely used for logistics, infrastructure maintenance and on-road heavy lifting thanks to its road-legal 6×4/8×4 chassis.

Detailed Description
The Howo truck-mounted crane is offered on multiple HOWO chassis (typical 6×4 and 8×4) and is normally equipped with WP / WD series engines in the ~340–400HP range (models listing 375HP / 380HP as common export options). Body and crane combinations are configurable: folding/knuckle boom cranes (6–10t class) for urban/light-medium work, and larger straight/extendable booms (10–30t and up on heavier chassis) for more demanding lifts. Key strengths: engine power (horsepower), adaptable crane tonnage, and configurable payload.
The vehicle’s gross vehicle weight and payload vary by chassis and crane choice — mid-range 6×4 units typically report GVW and payload around the ~25,000 kg class with cargo box options (lengths commonly 7–8.5 m), while 8×4/heavy chassis increase GVW and allow larger cranes and higher lifting moments. Typical working radii and max lift heights depend on crane model (many folding cranes offer ~10–20 m reach; larger multi-section booms reach higher). Advantages to buyers: proven HOWO drivetrain, strong lifting versatility, and modular up-fit options for different job profiles.
