HOWO 8x4 80t Heavy Wrecker Tow Truck

This HOWO 8x4 heavy wrecker is built for recovery contractors and road authorities that deal with buses, loaded trucks, tankers and large machinery. Its integrated wrecker body is rated to tow and recover vehicles of roughly 40 to 80 t, depending on the towed vehicle and how it is attached, which places it in the heavy recovery class rather than light roadside service.

Power comes from a Sinotruk MC07H.35-60 diesel engine rated at 350 hp, driving through an HW19710 10-speed manual gearbox with an HW70 flange-mounted PTO. The chassis rides on a 5,800 + 1,350 mm wheelbase, a double-layer frame and 12.00R20 tires. The 20 t wrecker body carries a two-section hexagonal boom, a reinforced three-section tow arm and two 10 t hydraulic winches with 45 m of wire rope. Hydraulics run on a WanYi double pump with a HYDRAL control valve, operated from linked control stations on both sides or by triple wireless remote.

Typical work includes highway accident recovery, towing disabled heavy trucks and coaches, and support for mining or oversized-load operations. The emission level can be specified from Euro 2 to Euro 6 to suit the destination market, and the cab seats two to three crew. Before ordering, check the boom lifting chart and underlift ratings against the heaviest vehicles the fleet expects to recover.
