III. Dimensions, Material & Design Concept
Cargo Box Dimensions: 5,070 × 2,400 × 600 mm (16.6 × 7.9 × 2.0 feet) with transverse corrugated pattern for enhanced durability and aesthetics. The design features:
Floor plate: 5 mm (0.2 inches) thick national standard steel with checker plate pattern for increased friction
Side panels: 2 mm (0.08 inches) thick national standard steel
Longitudinal beams: Square tubing material at connection points with XCMG factory subframe
Enhanced load-bearing capacity through optimized substructure
Transverse corrugated side panels reduce cargo impact force during transport
Aesthetic design meeting national standards
Chassis Frame: 250 mm (9.8 inches) high-strength steel channel specifically engineered for crane applications. This heavy-duty frame provides optimal load-bearing capacity while maintaining structural integrity for demanding operations.
Design Philosophy: "Heavy-Duty Heritage, Light Truck Agility." The vehicle embodies Sinotruk's heavy-duty truck heritage adapted to the HOWO light truck platform. The cab features the same interior quality as Sinotruk's heavy trucks, with factory air conditioning and central locking standard. The 4.5 m (14.8 ft) wheelbase paired with 5 m (16.6 ft) cargo box provides excellent maneuverability on roads. The design prioritizes fuel efficiency through the Cummins engine while maintaining robust construction for reliable performance.
Primary Material: High-strength alloy steel throughout critical load-bearing components. The chassis features 250 mm reinforced construction. The cargo box utilizes 5 mm floor plate with checker plate pattern and square tube substructure for maximum durability.
