Tipper Trucks · Shacman 6x4 construction tipper
Shacman 6x4 Heavy-Duty Construction Dump Truck for Aggregate and Infrastructure Haulage
The Shacman 6x4 is the construction-site counterpart to our HOWO 8x4 mining tipper: three axles instead of four, the same mining-specified axle hardware and triple-layer frame, sized for aggregate runs on infrastructure projects where a 25-30 t class load and a shorter wheelbase fit mixed on-road and site duty.

Core capabilities in operation
Technical parameters translated into working results. Figures are reference estimates and vary with operating conditions.
| Parameter | Working result | Calculation conditions | Factors that change the result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payload about 30,000 kg on a 50,000 kg GVW | Roughly 30 t of aggregate per trip when the body volume and material density allow, matching common loading setups. | GVW 50,000 kg minus 20,000 kg curb weight. | Material density, box volume chosen and weighbridge enforcement. |
| 20-30 m3 body with front-lifting hydraulics | Body volume configured to the material: dense aggregates reach weight first, lighter soils use more of the volumetric capacity. | Box dimension finalised per order. | Material density and moisture. |
| Mining-specified axles on a triple-layer frame | Holds up on rutted site roads and loading faces better than highway-specified running gear. | Site roads maintained to haul standard. | Grading frequency, tyres and load distribution. |
| Cummins 351-450 HP band with FAST 12-speed | Engine rating matched to the haul profile at order, keeping loaded climbs and descents controlled. | Engine fit confirmed per order. | Gradient, altitude and gearing. |

Where this vehicle works well
Suitable conditions
- Infrastructure and construction aggregate haulage
- Quarry-to-crusher and site earthmoving runs
- Mixed on-road and site duty where an 8x4 is oversized
Not recommended for
- Deep-mine haulage better served by the 8x4 mining tipper
- Fine or flowing materials without side boards or a sealed body

Frequently asked questions
How much can it carry per trip?
About 30,000 kg on the 50,000 kg GVW; volumetrically that is roughly 18-20 m3 of gravel, with lighter materials using more of the 20-30 m3 body.
How is it different from the HOWO 8x4 mining tipper?
The 6x4 runs three axles with a shorter wheelbase for mixed on-road and site duty; the 8x4 mining build carries the heaviest deep-mine loads with four axles.
What engine powers it?
A Cummins engine in the 351-450 HP band with a FAST 12-speed gearbox; the exact rating is confirmed per order against the haul profile.
Can the body be customised?
Body dimension, material thickness and side or rear discharge are configured per order; a tarpaulin is optional.
Is it suitable for Nigerian construction sites?
The mining-specified axles, triple-layer frame and leaf suspension are specified for rutted site roads; confirm route weight limits for the 50 t GVW.
Three axles for mixed construction duty
Infrastructure haulage rarely stays inside one fence: trucks run public roads to the site, then graded dirt inside it. The Shacman 6x4 is built for that mix — the mining-specified axle hardware and triple-layer frame of our heavy tippers, on a shorter three-axle wheelbase that keeps the truck manageable on carriageways.
Body size, discharge direction and the Cummins engine rating are configured per order against the material and haul profile. Request a quotation with your material, volumes and destination port.
