The Sinotruk HOWO TX 340HP 8X4 7.5m³ Concrete Mixer Truck is tailored for the messy, scattered demands of small-to-medium regional projects—whether you’re hauling 7.5 cubic meters of C30 concrete to a township residential development’s ground floor slabs, supplying flowable concrete for county road curb repairs, or delivering graded concrete to a small industrial park’s warehouse foundation. Power comes from a MAN-tech MC07.34-60 diesel engine, delivering 340 horsepower and 1250 N·m of torque at 1200-1800 rpm—enough to handle the truck’s 31-ton Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) while keeping the mixer drum rotating steadily (18-22 rpm) during 30-60km regional trips. Paired with a Fast 10JSD160TA 10-speed manual transmission, it shifts smoothly between 60km/h provincial roads (to meet tight concrete delivery windows) and slow, precise movement on unpaved township construction paths. The 8X4 drive setup and 5.286 rear axle ratio ensure reliable traction on muddy or gravelly job sites, while its 5.9-meter turning radius lets it navigate narrow township roads lined with farmhouses—something bulkier 9m³ mixers struggle with.
What makes this model ideal for regional township work is its 7.5m³ mixing drum and rugged, low-fuss design. The drum is made from Q690 wear-resistant steel with a ceramic anti-stick coating (reducing concrete buildup by 35% vs. standard drums), which cuts post-delivery cleaning time by 25%—critical when you’re juggling 5-6 stops a day. Its single-pump hydraulic system delivers 28 kW of power to the drum, enabling fast loading (under 5 minutes at rural batching plants) and consistent discharging (1.1 m³/min)—enough to fill a residential foundation form in one go without delays. To handle township project realities, it also includes a 320L high-pressure water tank (mounted compactly to save space) for on-site drum flushing, and a reinforced overflow guard to prevent concrete spills on village roads. Underneath, a strengthened single-layer frame (270×80×11mm) and 10/10/12-leaf spring suspension absorb bumps from uneven township roads, protecting the drum and concrete quality during frequent short hauls.
For small-to-medium construction teams focused on cost-effectiveness and reliability, the HOWO TX delivers clear value. Its 400L fuel tank lasts a full day of regional runs (covering 320+ km) without refueling, and the MAN-tech engine’s optimized fuel injection keeps average consumption at 29-31L per 100km—4% lower than similar 340HP 8X4 mixers. Maintenance is also hassle-free: the engine uses 15,000km long-life oil, and common wear parts (like brake pads or air filters) are widely available through global aftermarket networks—critical for teams working in remote townships. Inside the cab, driver comfort supports long days of regional travel: an air-suspended seat with lumbar support (eases fatigue from bumpy roads), a 9-inch touchscreen with offline navigation (for areas with spotty cell service) and reverse camera (for backing into tight rural batching bays), plus USB ports for charging tools. It’s the practical, no-nonsense mixer that keeps small-to-medium regional and township construction projects on track—without overpaying for unnecessary heavy-duty features.
