HOWO Chick Transport Vehicle – Day-Old Poultry Carrier

I. Product Introduction

The HOWO chick transport vehicle is a purpose-built solution designed for the safe and efficient delivery of day-old poultry and other temperature-sensitive livestock. Built on the reliable HOWO light truck chassis with a 3,360 mm wheelbase, this vehicle combines robust chassis performance with a specialized insulated and ventilated cargo body manufactured by Chengli Group. Designed to maintain optimal temperature, humidity, and air circulation throughout transit, this model ensures minimal stress and maximum survival rates for day-old chicks, making it an essential asset for modern poultry farming and hatchery logistics.

III. Exterior Dimensions, Cargo Box Specifications, Material, and Design Philosophy

• Chassis Type: Dedicated HOWO light truck chassis with 3360 mm wheelbase, offering excellent stability and load distribution for sensitive cargo

• Cargo Box Construction: Sandwich composite panel structure using vacuum adsorption and hydraulic compression manufacturing processes

• Panel Material: High-quality fiberglass inner and outer panels — non-light-absorbing, excellent thermal insulation, high hardness, and oxidation resistance

• Insulation Layer: 80 mm (approx. 3.1 in) high-density XPS extruded polystyrene or polyurethane foam core, providing superior temperature retention

• Floor Material: Fiberglass checkered plate with integrated aluminum ventilation channels for uniform air distribution

• Door Seals: Labyrinth-style rubber sealing strips with multiple bubble seals, ensuring airtight closure and minimal thermal loss

• Design Philosophy: The insulated body is engineered specifically for day-old poultry transport, incorporating a multi-ventilation system that maintains consistent airflow while preventing drafts. The design prioritizes biosecurity with easy-clean surfaces and temperature stability through high-density insulation. The compact exterior footprint allows for easy navigation in urban environments while maximizing usable cargo space for chick crates.

IV. Structural Advantages: Engine, Transmission, Front and Rear Axle

• Engine & Powertrain: The chassis is powered by a reliable diesel engine producing 108–122 hp, offering sufficient torque for fully loaded operation while maintaining fuel efficiency. The engine meets current emission standards, ensuring compliance for export markets.

• Transmission System: Equipped with a 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission, featuring synchronized gear engagement for smooth shifting and reduced driver fatigue during long-distance poultry transport routes.

• Front Axle: Forged I-beam front axle with a 2.0–2.5 ton load rating, designed for precise steering control and durability under varying road conditions.

• Rear Axle: Single-reduction rear axle with a 3.5–4.0 ton load rating, featuring a pressed welded axle housing and optimized gear ratios (typically 4.875 or 5.375) for balanced performance between urban stop-and-go and highway cruising.

• Braking System: Dual-circuit air brake system with spring energy parking brake, ensuring reliable stopping performance even when fully loaded with livestock and equipment.

• Suspension: Semi-elliptical leaf springs with shock absorbers on both front and rear axles, providing a stable ride that minimizes vibrations transmitted to sensitive cargo.

• Frame: High-tensile steel frame with section dimensions of approximately 215 × 65 × 6 mm, offering structural rigidity for the specialized cargo body.

V. Product Features and Chengli Group Manufacturer Advantages

• Ventilation System: The cargo body features multiple external ventilated windows (typically 6–8 units) with adjustable openings, roof-mounted exhaust fans (4–6 units), and ceiling vents for active air exchange. The system ensures continuous removal of CO₂ and ammonia while supplying fresh air to maintain optimal chick health.

• Temperature Control: Equipped with a refrigeration unit (domestic or imported options available) capable of maintaining 22–26°C (72–79°F) — the ideal temperature range for day-old chicks. A water heating system provides supplemental warmth during cold-weather transport.

• Humidity & Spray System: An electric spray system with a pressurized water tank allows operators to maintain optimal humidity levels during long journeys, preventing dehydration of the chicks.

• Monitoring System: Integrated temperature and humidity sensors with real-time display in the cab. Optional multi-channel camera system allows the driver to monitor cargo conditions without leaving the cab. A temperature recorder provides downloadable trip data for quality assurance.

• Cargo Management: Manual flip-out stacking shelves on both sides of the cargo area for organized crate placement. Aluminum floor ventilation channels ensure air circulates evenly beneath the lowest layer of crates.

• Chengli Group Strengths: As a leading manufacturer of specialized vehicles in China, Chengli Group brings extensive experience in livestock transport vehicle production to this export model. The company utilizes advanced vacuum adsorption and hydraulic compression manufacturing processes to ensure consistent insulation quality and structural integrity. Each insulated body is engineered with no-cold-bridge design, eliminating thermal weak points. Chengli’s vehicles are exported to over 100 countries and regions, with a commitment to biosecurity standards, durability, and customer-specific customization for diverse market requirements.

This HOWO chick transport vehicle is fully assembled, tested, and ready for deployment in poultry logistics fleets seeking a reliable, temperature-controlled, and ventilated solution for safe day-old chick delivery from hatchery to farm.
