The Sinotruk HOWO 12000 litre sludge truck is a 4x2 vacuum tanker built on a HOWO chassis for collecting, transporting and discharging liquid waste, sludge, septic material, crude oil and small solid debris. It is designed for municipal sanitation departments, waste contractors and public works operators in regions with limited sewer infrastructure or seasonal access challenges. The double Weilong vacuum pump achieves full tank extraction in under 5 minutes and can suction vertically up to 6 metres, making it suitable for deep cesspits and blocked manholes in urban and rural areas.
