Overview of HOWO 6x4 and 8x4 Dump Trucks
HOWO 6x4 Dump Truck
Tire Configuration: 10-wheel design.
Engine: Equipped with a 371-horsepower power system, suitable for daily medium-load transportation.
Load Capacity: Meet the medium-load requirements required for conventional construction or transportation operations.
Flexibility and Turning Radius: Short wheelbase and small turning radius, convenient for driving on narrow or complex roads.
Price Advantage: Compared with 8x4 models, it is more cost-effective and suitable for projects with limited budgets.
HOWO 8x4 Dump Truck
Tire Configuration: 12-wheel structure.
Engine: Equipped with a more powerful 400-horsepower engine.
Load Capacity: Due to the addition of a non-drive shaft, the load capacity is significantly enhanced, suitable for high-intensity operations.
Handling and Stability: Although the wheelbase is longer, the turning radius is larger, and the flexibility is slightly reduced, it is more stable when carrying heavy goods.
Price Positioning: The structure is more complex, the load-bearing capacity is stronger, and the overall price is relatively higher.
Power system comparison
6x4 model: equipped with a 371HP engine, which can meet the power requirements of most medium-sized construction or transportation scenarios.
8x4 model: equipped with a 400HP high-performance engine, more suitable for high-load and long-term high-intensity working environment.

Load capacity difference
6x4 version: The double rear axle design has moderate load-bearing capacity and is suitable for conventional material transportation.
8x4 version: After adding a load-bearing axle, the load capacity is significantly improved, which is more effective in dealing with large-scale projects.
Road adaptability
6x4 model: short wheelbase and more flexible rotation, especially suitable for urban construction sites, mountain roads or areas with limited space.
8x4 model: due to the lengthened structure, the control is slightly inferior, but the overall stability is more stable, more suitable for long-distance and high-load transportation.
Budget and cost-effectiveness
6x4 model: the purchase cost is relatively low, which is an ideal economic choice for small and medium-sized engineering projects.
8x4 model: the initial investment is higher, but the return is reflected in the stronger transportation efficiency and stability, suitable for large projects and long-term use.
Which one is more suitable for your project?
Medium load scenario
If your projects are mostly in the medium load range and have certain requirements for steering flexibility, the 6x4 model would be a wise choice. It provides sufficient power, strong maneuverability, and low investment cost, suitable for most daily construction site operations.
Heavy load and large engineering operations
If faced with a large amount of earthwork transfer or frequent heavy-duty transportation, the 8x4 model is an ideal tool for heavy-load conditions with its higher load and power reserve.
Summary:
Choosing a HOWO 6x4 or 8x4 dump truck depends on your business type, transportation environment and budget arrangement. The 6x4 is more flexible and price-friendly, suitable for small and medium-sized projects; while the 8x4 is the first choice for large projects with its high load and strong power.
