The Dongfeng Liuqi Chenglong L3 180HP 4X2 4.2m Dump Truck is a perfect fit for operators tackling tight urban jobs—whether you’re hauling drywall scraps from a downtown apartment renovation, transporting small batches of asphalt for sidewalk repairs, or delivering bags of cement to a tiny construction site in a residential area. Power comes from a Yuchai YC4S180-60 diesel engine, delivering 180 horsepower and 700 N·m of torque at 1600-2400 rpm. This responsive power is ideal for city driving: it accelerates smoothly after stoplights (critical for beating urban traffic) and handles 5-7 ton loads without feeling sluggish, while pairing seamlessly with a Fast 6J70T 6-speed manual transmission. The 4X2 drive setup and 4.875 rear axle ratio make it exceptionally maneuverable—its 5.6-meter turning radius lets it navigate narrow alleyways between parked cars or back into tight loading zones where larger trucks simply can’t fit.​

What makes this model stand out for urban light-duty work is its 4.2m×2.1m×1.2m dump body—compact enough for city streets, yet durable enough for daily use. Built with Q345B high-quality steel (lightweight to save fuel, but tough enough to resist dents from loose debris), the body’s low 1.1-meter loading height is a game-changer: workers can load materials with hand carts instead of heavy equipment, cutting down on job-site setup time. With a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 11.99 tons and a rated payload of 6.5 tons, it’s compliant with most urban weight restrictions while still hauling enough material for small jobs (like 15-20 bags of cement or a truckload of renovation waste) in one trip. Underneath, a lightweight single-layer frame (200×70×6mm) and 7/9-leaf spring suspension absorb bumps from potholed city roads, protecting both the cargo and the truck’s chassis during frequent short stops.​

For small business owners or independent operators watching daily costs, the Chenglong L3 180HP delivers clear value. Its 280L fuel tank lasts a full day of urban runs (8-10 short trips) without refueling, and the Yuchai engine’s optimized combustion keeps average fuel consumption at 20-22L per 100km—6% lower than similar 180HP urban dump trucks. Maintenance is also hassle-free: the engine uses 10,000km long-life oil, and common wear parts (like air filters or brake pads) are widely available through global aftermarket networks, so repairs are quick even in busy cities. Inside the cab, practical features reduce driver fatigue: an adjustable fabric seat (comfy for 4-5 hour shifts of stop-and-go driving), a rearview camera (vital for parking in crowded urban areas), and USB ports for charging tools or phones. It’s the reliable, no-fuss solution for urban light-duty hauling needs.​
