Last month, a mining service company in Chile contacted us and ordered a SINOTRUCK HOWO dump truck. This dump truck is mainly used for transporting and stripping waste rocks and low-grade ores, and also helps to pull crushed stones and building materials for infrastructure projects in the mining area. At present, this brand new HOWO dump truck will be transported to the port and then loaded onto a ship for shipment to Chile.
Chile has many mountainous areas and complex road conditions in mining areas, which require strict requirements for the load-bearing capacity, power performance, and durability of dump trucks. This Sinotruk Howo dump truck is specifically designed to meet the local working conditions. Equipped with a large displacement diesel engine, it has sufficient low-speed torque and is more stable when facing steep slopes in mining areas, muddy and unpaved roads, or when climbing heavy loads. It has sufficient traction and is not easy to slip when climbing heavy loads.

Thickened high-strength steel plate cargo box, resistant to stone impact, wear-resistant and not easily deformed, meeting the needs of large-scale transportation of ore, slag, sand and gravel. The chassis adopts a heavy-duty widened frame, matched with large-sized heavy-duty tires, with strong bearing capacity, and is not prone to chassis loss during long-term full load operation.
The customer also mentioned a detail - Chilean mining areas generally have high altitudes, and the air in high-altitude areas is thin, which has a certain impact on the power output of diesel engines. The WD615 engine equipped on this Sinotruck Howo dump truck adopts turbocharged intercooling technology, which has much smaller power attenuation than naturally aspirated engines in high-altitude areas. The customer said that the old car lost its energy when it reached altitude, but replacing it with a turbocharged one should be much better.

We also made sufficient preparations before shipment, covering the carriage with thick blue waterproof tarpaulin to prevent rainwater and sea salt from corroding the carriage and internal components during sea transportation. Special fastening locks are installed on all vehicle tires and frame positions to prevent displacement and collision during transportation and sea freight. This Sinotruck HOWO dump truck is a highly recognized main transport vehicle in South American mining and earthwork engineering.
