16-Ton Sinotruk HOWO 8×4 Crane Truck – Flagship Heavy-Duty Lifting & Transport Solution

I. Product Introduction

The 16-Ton Sinotruk HOWO 8×4 Crane Truck is a flagship heavy-duty vehicle designed for combined lifting and transport operations. Built on the HOWO front-four rear-eight (8×4) chassis, this crane truck is powered by a Weichai 380 HP engine paired with a HOWO 12-speed transmission and 16-ton hub-reduction axles. Featuring a Zoomlion 16-ton 5-section boom crane with a U-shaped cross-section boom and second-boom single-extension capability, this 16-ton crane truck delivers a full-extension boom length of 22 meters and a lifting height of 24 meters. With an 8.2-meter heavy-duty cargo body, this vehicle offers a true "one vehicle, multiple uses" solution for heavy-load transport and lifting operations.

II. Key Specifications

III. Chassis & Drivetrain Advantages

Sinotruk HOWO 8×4 Flagship Chassis

The HOWO crane truck is built on the premium 8×4 chassis, featuring HOWO's proprietary collapse-resistant technology, which enhances frame rigidity and safety during heavy lifting operations. The 16-ton hub-reduction rear axles provide exceptional load capacity and climbing capability for demanding transport and lifting tasks.

Weichai 380 HP Engine

The 8.24L displacement engine delivers 380 HP with strong low-end torque, providing ample power for both highway transport and crane lifting operations. The engine meets China VI emission standards for environmental compliance.

HOWO 12-Speed Transmission

The 12-speed manual transmission offers a wide gear ratio range for smooth starts under full load and fuel-efficient highway cruising. The optimized gear selection ensures precise control during crane positioning and heavy-load hauling.

IV. Zoomlion 16-Ton Crane System

5-Section U-Shape Boom

The Zoomlion 16-ton crane features a 5-section boom with a U-shaped cross-section, offering superior strength-to-weight ratio and reduced boom deflection. This design enhances lifting stability and precision, especially at full extension.

Full-Extension Performance

• Full-Extension Boom Length: 22 meters

• Maximum Lifting Height: 24 meters

• Second-Boom Single Extension: Allows for flexible reach adjustments without deploying the entire boom, improving efficiency for jobs requiring precise positioning at shorter radii.

16-Ton Capacity

The 16-ton lifting capacity makes this crane truck suitable for a wide range of heavy-load applications, including construction materials, steel structures, and equipment installation.

V. Heavy-Duty Cargo Body

8.2-Meter Box Construction

The cargo body is engineered for heavy-duty transport:

The cold-riveted construction provides superior structural integrity compared to welded designs, while the inverted-channel steel frame ensures long-term durability under heavy loads. This heavy-duty cargo box is ideal for transporting building materials, steel, and other heavy cargo.

VI. Key Advantages – "One Vehicle, Multiple Uses"

1. Integrated Lifting & Transport

The combination of a 16-ton crane and an 8.2-meter heavy-duty cargo body eliminates the need for separate lifting and transport vehicles, significantly reducing operational costs and improving job site efficiency.

2. Flagship HOWO New Model

The latest HOWO flagship model incorporates the newest design improvements, including the proprietary collapse-resistant frame technology and enhanced cab comfort features.

3. Premium Component Integration

The use of Weichai engines, Zoomlion cranes, and HOWO axles ensures reliable performance and long service life for heavy-duty operations.

4. Compliance with New Regulations

The vehicle is designed in compliance with the latest regulations, ensuring roadworthiness and operational legality.
