6 wheels Sinotruk Howo 12 tons Skip Loader container truck

Name: 6 wheels Sinotruk Howo 12 tons Skip Loader container truck
Brand: Sinotruk HOWO

The 6 wheels Sinotruk HOWO 12 tons Skip Loader container truck is a 12 tonne waste collection vehicle built on a 4×2 HOWO chassis with a 266 HP Cummins diesel engine and 5 forward gears. It is designed for municipal waste contractors and private haulers that need to operate multiple detachable skip bins across a fleet without requiring a dedicated truck for each bin. The truck uses a high strength steel swing arm system to lift and dump sealed or semi-enclosed rectangular or trapezoidal bins with a capacity of up to 8 cubic metres. The system allows one truck to serve multiple bins, reducing fleet size and operational costs in urban and rural collection routes.

Key Benefits

4×2 HOWO chassis with Cummins engine delivers reliable performance and no overhaul required within 500,000 km
Detachable skip bins allow one truck to serve multiple waste collection points with different schedules
Sealed or semi-enclosed bin design prevents spillage and reduces odour and dust during transport
Hydraulic system with dual electric and manual control enables simple and safe operation in all conditions
Sewage collection box at the base of the fill device prevents re-pollution by capturing liquid waste
High strength steel swing arm system supports repeated lifting and dumping cycles without fatigue
8 cubic metre bin capacity meets high volume collection needs in dense urban or industrial zones

Buyer Profile

Who It Is for

Municipal sanitation departments managing large-scale waste collection with variable bin needs
Private waste haulage companies operating on contract with multiple clients across different zones
Industrial and construction site operators needing flexible waste transport solutions
Contractors supplying waste management services to commercial and residential complexes
Municipalities replacing older fixed-body trucks with modular skip systems for fleet efficiency

Operating Problems

Problems It Solves

High fleet cost from needing one truck per bin in traditional fixed-body systems
Inflexible scheduling when bins are full but no truck is available to collect
Spillage and odour from open or poorly sealed bins during transport
Re-pollution from liquid waste mixing with dry refuse during loading
Lack of redundancy when a single truck breaks down and multiple bins are stranded
Inefficient use of vehicles on low-volume routes where full capacity is not needed daily

Where It Works

Application Scenarios

Municipal waste collection services operating in cities with high population density and limited landfill access
Private waste haulers managing multiple residential and commercial sites with different collection frequencies
Industrial parks and construction sites that generate large volumes of mixed waste and need flexible bin deployment
Rural and peri-urban areas where collection routes are long and bin turnover must be maximized
Contractors handling mixed waste streams that require sealed transport to avoid contamination
Municipalities upgrading from fixed bin fleets to modular skip systems to reduce vehicle numbers

Build Materials

Materials

Q235A carbon steel for skip bin side, back and floor panels
High strength steel for swing arm and lifting frame
Stainless steel components in hydraulic control box and pump housing
Aluminium alloy for control panel housing and electrical junction boxes
Rubber sealing strips on bin doors and swing arm joints to prevent leakage

How It Is Built

Manufacturing Process

Chassis is received from Sinotruk and verified against the bin mounting and swing arm layout
Skip bin shell is cut from Q235A carbon steel and welded with internal stiffeners
Bin floor and sides are assembled with 4 mm and 3 mm steel respectively, then tested for structural integrity
Sewage collection box is installed at the base of the fill device and sealed against leaks
Swing arm system is fabricated from high strength steel and fitted to the chassis frame
Hydraulic system is installed with dual electric and manual control units and tested for response
Bin is mounted onto the swing arm and the lifting/dumping cycle is tested under full load
Truck is painted in standard colour with optional logo and bin colour applied free of charge
Final inspection includes full hydraulic operation, bin lift test, and safety interlock check

Testing

Quality Control

All vehicles are 100 percent tested before delivery
Hydraulic system tested under full load and pressure for 2 hours
Swing arm and bin structure inspected for weld quality and fatigue resistance
Sewage box tested with water to confirm no leakage during filling and dumping
Photos and videos of the finished truck sent to the buyer before balance payment
Compliance with GB7965 for waste collection vehicle performance and safety

Build to Order

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

Fixed-body waste truck	Higher initial cost per vehicle but no need for spare bins; better for low volume, predictable routes
Side loader truck	Faster loading per bin but requires more space and cannot use detachable bins; less flexible for mixed routes
Front loader truck	Higher lifting capacity and faster cycle but less suitable for large, heavy bins; requires more maintenance on the lifting arm

Operating Notes

Use Guide

Confirm bin shape and volume requirements before ordering to match site access and waste type
Use only the designated lifting points on the bin to avoid structural damage during operation
Keep the sewage collection box clean and empty it regularly to prevent overflow
Operate the hydraulic system using either electric or manual control based on site conditions
Inspect the swing arm and bin joints weekly for wear and lubricate moving parts
Free operator training is available at the factory before shipment

Buyer Questions About This Truck

What is the lead time for this skip loader truck?

Generally 20 days after the advance payment is received. The exact date depends on chassis availability and the bin configuration specified.

Can the skip bin be made from stainless steel instead of carbon steel?

Yes. The standard bin is Q235A carbon steel. Stainless steel is available on request. Let us know the waste type and storage duration for material confirmation.

What are your payment terms?

T/T with 30 percent deposit and 70 percent before delivery. We send photos and videos of the finished truck before you pay the balance.

Can the truck be right hand drive?

No. The chassis is built as left hand drive only. Confirm this at order stage as it cannot be changed later.

How is the truck shipped?

What warranty and after sales support do you provide?

The whole vehicle is guaranteed for one year and core parts on some products for two years. Our overseas engineers make regular return visits and provide technical training and manuals before delivery.

Can the bin shape be changed to trapezoidal?

Yes. The standard bin is rectangular. Trapezoidal shape is available for better fit in tight or sloped loading areas. Specify at order stage.
