Quick Navigation
The High Performance HOWO 6×4 Dump Truck 20cbm-25cbm is built for customers who need a practical heavy-duty truck for mining, quarry, road construction, earthwork, sand, gravel, and mineral transportation.
In many African job sites, a dump truck is judged by simple but important factors: whether it can carry enough material, whether it can keep working on rough roads, whether spare parts are easy to find, and whether the maintenance cost is acceptable for daily operation.
This is why the SINOTRUK HOWO 6×4 dump truck has become a common choice for contractors and transport companies in Africa, South America, the Middle East, and other developing markets. It uses a practical heavy-duty chassis, a WD615 series diesel engine, and a 20cbm-25cbm dump body suitable for bulk material hauling.
Qingdao Genron International Trade Co., Ltd. supplies HOWO dump trucks and transport equipment solutions for overseas customers. Instead of only providing a truck model, Genron helps buyers confirm suitable configurations according to loading materials, road conditions, steering requirements, emission standards, and destination market conditions.

A dump truck used in a mining or construction project does not work in an easy environment. It usually faces frequent loading, heavy materials, uneven roads, dust, heat, and long daily operating hours.
The HOWO 6×4 dump truck is suitable for these practical working conditions because it focuses on loading strength, chassis durability, engine power, and maintenance convenience.
Mining companies use dump trucks to transport ore, stones, minerals, and other heavy materials from working areas to crushing stations, storage yards, or transfer points.
The 6×4 drive type, reinforced rear axle, and heavy-duty tipper body make this truck suitable for mining operations where loading weight and road conditions are both demanding.
Ore and mineral hauling
Stone and rock transportation
Mine site short-distance hauling
Rough road material transfer
Construction contractors often need dump trucks for soil, sand, gravel, road base materials, and demolition waste. The HOWO 6×4 dump truck provides a practical balance between body volume and site mobility.
The 5600 × 2300 × 1500 mm cargo box is suitable for many construction transport jobs, while the hydraulic lifting system supports efficient unloading during daily operation.
Quarry operators and aggregate suppliers need trucks that can complete repeated loading and unloading cycles. For this type of work, uptime and maintenance cost are often more important than appearance.
The HOWO 6×4 tipper truck is widely used for sand, gravel, crushed stone, and aggregate delivery between quarry areas, project sites, and material yards.

The WD615 series engine is one of the main reasons why HOWO trucks are widely accepted in many overseas markets. It is known for practical power output, strong market familiarity, and easier maintenance compared with more complicated engine platforms.
For contractors in Africa and similar markets, this matters because mechanics are often more familiar with HOWO truck systems, and replacement parts are easier to source in many regions.
The truck uses a reinforced chassis structure designed for heavy-duty hauling. This is especially important when the truck is used on mining roads, quarry roads, temporary construction roads, or rural transport routes.
Suitable for heavy material loading
Strong support for rough road operation
Designed for frequent loading and unloading
Practical for fleet operation and project use
The 20cbm-25cbm dump body provides enough volume for most construction, quarry, and mining transport tasks. It is suitable for sand, gravel, soil, stone, mineral materials, and other bulk cargo.
The cargo box uses an 8 mm bottom plate and 6 mm side plate, which is helpful for reducing wear when transporting heavy or abrasive materials.
The HW19710 transmission with 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears gives the driver more flexibility when working on different road conditions. The PTO configuration supports the hydraulic lifting system for dump body operation.
Steering position is an important detail for international buyers. Genron can support LHD or RHD configuration according to destination country requirements, helping customers match local traffic regulations and driver habits.

Africa is one of the strongest markets for HOWO dump trucks. In countries such as Zambia, Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, HOWO trucks are commonly used in mining, infrastructure construction, quarry transport, and road projects.
Buyers in these markets usually focus on practical value: loading ability, spare parts supply, mechanic familiarity, fuel consumption, and whether the truck can continue working when road conditions are not ideal.
In mining areas, dump trucks are often used for moving minerals, stones, ore, and site materials. A truck with a reinforced chassis, strong rear axle, and practical engine system is more suitable than a model designed only for city road transport.
Road construction, housing projects, and infrastructure development require trucks that can move sand, gravel, soil, and road base materials between project locations. The HOWO 6×4 dump truck is a common choice for these jobs because it provides enough loading volume without becoming too difficult to maintain.
In Middle East markets, trucks often face hot weather, dust, and intensive construction schedules. The HOWO 6×4 dump truck can be used for construction material transport, industrial projects, and quarry-related hauling.
South American customers use heavy-duty dump trucks for mining, quarry, road works, and construction projects. For buyers who need a durable truck with reasonable maintenance cost, the HOWO 6×4 dump truck is a practical option.
Before purchasing a dump truck, buyers should not only compare price. A suitable configuration depends on the material type, road condition, transport distance, maintenance ability, and local regulations.
Sand, gravel, ore, stone, and soil have different density and wear characteristics. If the truck mainly carries heavy or abrasive materials, buyers should pay attention to cargo box thickness and chassis strength.
Some markets require LHD, while others require RHD. Confirming steering position before ordering helps avoid registration and operation problems after arrival.
The 371HP and 380HP options can meet different operating needs. For heavier working sites, hilly roads, and long-distance hauling, choosing enough horsepower helps improve operating efficiency.
For fleet owners, parts availability affects truck uptime. HOWO trucks are widely used in many overseas markets, which makes spare parts support easier compared with less common models.
Qingdao Genron International Trade Co., Ltd. supports overseas customers with trucks, semi trailers, trailer parts, spare parts, welding machinery, and transport equipment solutions.
For dump truck buyers, Genron focuses on practical matching instead of simply offering one standard model. Our team helps customers confirm suitable configuration according to the working environment and destination market.
