Having seen significant upgrades over the years latest version of the HOWO-TX tipper truck boasts hi-tech and comfort.
Since their introduction to the Malaysian market, Sinotruk’s HOWO trucks have improved by leaps and bounds. With gradual upgrades over the years, the trucks have become more and more attractive. One of the workhorses among the product line-up of the Chinese brand is the HOWO-TX Tipper. Khoo Keh Hann, General Manager of Sino Mobile and Heavy Equipment Sdn Bhd (SMHE) offers a comprehensive walk-around.
First, the HOWO-TX Tipper Truck, offered by (SMHE), is engineered for durability, efficiency, and highperformance payload handling. It is designed to meet the demands of industries such as construction, mining, and quarrying, making it stand out in the heavy-duty segment. Its features make it most suited for these missions.
Introducing HOWO-TX Khoo lists the following as highlights:
“Take for instance the powerful MC11 Engine; developed with MAN technology, the 440hp MC11 engine delivers 2 100Nm of torque, ensuring optimal performance under heavy loads.” Operating at lower RPMs within its peak torque range, the engine experiences reduced wear, enhancing longevity and fuel efficiency.
Designed for both on and off-road operations, the HOWO-TX features a reinforced chassis and heavy-duty bucket, ensuring exceptional durability in extreme weather, rough terrains, and demanding job sites.
Meeting the needs of the users, a reinforced chassis for heavy loads with 8+8/300 high-strength steel frames, the HOWO-TX Tipper is designed to endure harsh terrains and high-impact conditions, making it ideal for extreme work environments. Thanks to this, the vehicle is also offering maximised payload efficiency. Its robust, yet lightweight construction, enables operators to transport more material per trip
without compromising structural integrity, ensuring higher productivity and reduced
operational costs.
Fast Tipping: Efficiency
As a tipper, the truck depends on a reliable hydraulic system. The efficient tipping mechanism allows for smooth, controlled unloading, reducing cycle times and increasing job-site efficiency. Equipped with high-capacity hydraulics and an optimised bucket design, the HOWO-TX enables faster unloading, increased material throughput, and reduced downtime, enhancing overall fleet performance. HOWO-TX Tipper trucks are equipped with Hyva hydraulic pumps, a globally recognised brand known for its efficiency, durability, and high performance.
These pumps convert engine power into hydraulic pressure, ensuring smooth and reliable tipping operations, even in demanding work conditions.
Cabin Comfort
Functionality extends into the driver-centric cabin design, which is ergonomically built for comfort and practicality. It features electronic air conditioning, adjustable seating, and a sleeper bench to support operators during long shifts in challenging environments. A well-designed cabin enhances driver comfort, safety, and efficiency. The HOWO-TX Tipper truck offers an ergonomic design that reduces driver fatigue during long hours. The air-conditioning and ventilation are adapted for local needs as it is essential for Malaysia’s tropical climate. The advanced dashboard and controls are laid out in an intuitive layout for easier operation and better visibility.|
Overall, the spacious interior and ample storage compartments enhance the driver’s convenience and organisation. An optional sleeper cabin is available for long-haul configurations, allowing drivers to rest comfortably, reducing fatigue and improving overall efficiency.
Khoo said that “With its combination of power, resilience, and efficiency, the HOWOTX Tipper Truck delivers cost-effective, long-term performance for businesses requiring heavy-duty transport solutions.”
