A refurbished HOWO 7 Series 8x4 concrete mixer truck, cleaned and reconditioned before shipment, built on a 1,800 + 3,800 + 1,350 mm wheelbase and rated for a 50-tonne gross vehicle weight. The driveline is the 371 HP WD615.47 Euro II engine, the HW19710 10-speed transmission, a VGD95 double-steering front axle and HC16 tandem rear axles on drum brakes, carrying a 6 mm drum shell on an imported-brand reducer.

An 8x4 Chassis for Larger Drum Volumes

The reason to choose this 8x4 concrete mixer truck over the 6x4 mixer in the range is drum capacity and axle loading. The eight-wheel layout spreads the same gross weight across two steering axles and a tandem pair, so a larger drum — up to 16 cubic metres — can be carried without overloading the front axle, and the truck stays steerable on the soft or rutted ground found around a ready-mix plant or a site access road.

Kerb weight is approximately 15,500 kg against a 50-tonne gross vehicle weight, which leaves a workable payload for a high-volume drum. The double-layer 8+8 / 300 mm frame and reinforced multi-leaf suspension rated ten leaves front and twelve rear are specified to carry that combination through repeated pour cycles rather than occasional peak loads.

Condition, Mixer Equipment and Drum Sizing

This is a reconditioned unit, and we state that plainly rather than describing it as new. The cab, chassis and mixer assembly have been prepared to working condition before shipment, which is why the entry cost sits well below a new build while the driveline architecture — mechanical injection, 16-tonne tandem axles, full air brakes — is unchanged. It suits operators adding capacity to an existing fleet or starting a batching contract where capital recovery is on a short horizon.

Drum volume is specified at order at 12, 14 or 16 cubic metres, with the hydraulic pump, motor and imported-brand reducer matched to that choice. The HW76 classic cab provides a single bunk and air conditioning, and the truck rides on 12R22.5 vacuum tyres with a spare. The mechanical-pump Euro II engine requires no urea and no SCR system, so it tolerates the diesel quality common across the markets this HOWO 8x4 mixer truck is aimed at.
