THE VEHICLE
This HOWO TX 4x2 flatbed truck is an equipment carrier for contractors, rental yards and dealers that move mid-size excavators, rollers and compact loaders. Built on the Sinotruk ZZ1187K501GF1 chassis at 18,000 kg gross vehicle weight and an 8,270 kg curb weight, it is rated for 9,600 kg, and twin rear ramps let tracked machines drive straight onto the deck.
The TX suspension cab seats two or three and comes with air-suspension seats, air conditioning, power windows, central locking and a digital tachograph. A Weichai 240 hp diesel is offered with a SINOTRUK 8-speed gearbox, a 280 mm double-layer frame, a 5,000 mm wheelbase, 10.00R20 steel-wire tires and an optional MAN 11.5 t rear axle. The bed is 6.5 m long including the ramps, with No. 5 patterned steel plate on 100 × 100 mm square-tube crossbeams.
At 9,000 × 2,550 × 3,200 mm, the truck handles city streets and site access roads more easily than multi-axle carriers. Single or dual hydraulic ramps can be chosen to match track widths, and emission compliance from Euro 2 to Euro 6 is available. Service intervals start at 5,000 km or three months, then every 10,000 to 15,000 km.

KNOW YOUR NEXT TRUCK
How much a machinery flatbed can legally carry depends on axle count, curb weight and the exact build. This guide compares our 4x2, 6x2 and 8x4 flatbeds and matches them to machine classes, ramps and axle loads.
An engineer's comparison of the three most common cargo bodies: how each one loads, what it protects against, how much of the chassis rating it uses up and which freight it suits, using weights from our own trucks.
