This SHACMAN 6x4 tractor truck — model SX4255HT324R from the H3000S range — is a brand-new factory right-hand-drive unit engineered for long-haul fleets working dusty inland corridors in East and Southern Africa. Its 380 HP WP10.380E22 Euro II engine drives through a Fast 12JSD200T-B 12-speed manual gearbox to 13-tonne single-reduction rear axles, and the unit can be ordered with an oil-bath desert air filter for heavy dust.

Built for Dusty Inland Routes, Not Just Smooth Highways

Where a highway-only truck would choke on fine dust, this SHACMAN tractor truck can be specified with an oil-bath desert air filter that traps grit before it reaches the intake — the single most common cause of early engine wear on unpaved corridors. The 50# reinforced fifth wheel and 12R22.5 vacuum tyres with a spare keep it compatible with the standard semi-trailers used across the region, while the 600 L fuel tank and twin 180 Ah maintenance-free batteries cut the number of refuelling stops on remote stretches. ABS is available as a factory option for buyers who want the extra margin on mixed surfaces.

Where This Build Sits in the H3000S Family

The SX4255HT324R shares its H3000S cab and 380 HP driveline with other right-hand-drive members of the family, but it is configured around dust filtration and fleet standardisation rather than the tall-ratio long-route specification. That makes it the practical choice for operators running mixed fleets who want one cab, one gearbox and one parts list across many routes. Because the build is not frozen at order, customers can add a high-roof double-bunk cab, upgrade to a 700 L plus 230 L aluminium tank set, or apply a fleet paint scheme and VI colours.

Axles, Frame and Cab in Detail

Under the cab this 6x4 tractor truck runs a 7.5-tonne front axle and 13-tonne single-reduction tandem rear axles on a 3.7 ratio, carried by a (940-850) x 300 (8) frame on lightweight few-leaf springs rated front 3 and rear 4. That combination holds kerb weight at 8,500 kg against a gross vehicle weight of 55 tonnes, and the chassis tops out at 100 km/h. The H3000S cab gives an air-suspension seat, air cab mounting, electric windows, a single bunk and a steel bumper, so multi-day rotations stay comfortable for the driver across long right-hand-drive corridors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this SHACMAN 6x4 tractor truck come with a desert air filter?

How does this build differ from other H3000S 380 HP tractor trucks?

It shares the H3000S cab and 380 HP driveline but is configured around dust filtration and one-standard fleet specification, rather than the tall-ratio highway build.

What is the gross vehicle weight of this SHACMAN tractor truck?

The SX4255HT324R is rated to a gross vehicle weight of 55 tonnes, with a kerb weight of 8,500 kg and a (940-850) x 300 (8) frame.
