When it comes to high-intensity tasks like mountain mining haulage, large-scale highway construction, or bulk slag transport between industrial zones, the SAIC Hongyan New King Kong M500 390HP 8X4 7.8m Dump Truck delivers the rugged performance operators need. At its core is a Weichai WP10H390E62 turbocharged diesel engine, churning out 390 horsepower and a robust 1750 N·m of torque across 1200-1600 rpm—this low-end torque punch means it can climb 18° slopes with a full load of gravel or ore without straining, a must for mountainous mining sites. Paired with a SINOTRUK HW19710L 10-speed manual transmission (built for heavy-duty use with minimal gear wear) and an 8X4 drive system, plus a 5.92 rear axle ratio, it maintains consistent traction on muddy mine roads or uneven construction terrain—no more costly delays from wheel spin during critical hauls.
What sets this model apart for heavy-load demands is its purpose-built 7.8m×2.4m×1.6m dump body, engineered to handle the abuse of industrial-grade hauling. Made from Q960 ultra-high-strength wear-resistant steel (harder than standard Q690 steel), the body resists dents and corrosion from sharp mining rock or wet construction slag, extending its service life by up to 40% compared to regular dump bodies. With a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 31 tons and a rated payload of 20.5 tons, it can move a full truckload of ore in one trip—cutting down on round trips for mining operations. Underneath, a reinforced double-layer frame (300×85×(14+12)mm) and a heavy-duty 13/13/16-leaf spring suspension system absorb shocks from rough terrain, while the strengthened MAT18ZG dual rear axles (with self-adjusting brakes) ensure stability even when hauling unbalanced loads of construction debris.
For fleet managers focused on long-term efficiency and driver retention, the New King Kong M500 checks key boxes. Its 480L large-capacity fuel tank lets it cover 450+ km on a single fill—ideal for long hauls between mines and processing plants—while the Weichai engine’s intelligent thermal management system reduces average fuel consumption by 7% versus similar 390HP heavy-duty trucks. Maintenance is streamlined too: the engine uses long-life engine oil (20,000km between changes), and critical components like the clutch and brake pads are designed for 50% longer service intervals. Inside the cab, it’s built for all-day comfort during 10+ hour shifts: a wide 2.3m cab with air-suspension seats (with heating for cold mining mornings), a 12-inch touchscreen with navigation (for remote job sites), and a 360° surround-view camera plus tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to boost safety in low-visibility mine yards. It’s the kind of truck that keeps both operations efficient and drivers satisfied.
