Name: Sinotruk HOWO 18cbm Rolling Arm dumpster hook truck Cameroon
Brand: Sinotruk HOWO

The Sinotruk HOWO 18cbm Rolling Arm dumpster hook truck is a 6x4 heavy-duty waste collection vehicle built on a robust HOWO chassis, designed for municipal solid waste transport in urban and semi-urban environments. It handles 18 to 20 cubic meter garbage containers with a 20-ton loading capacity, using a hydraulic hook lift system that operates in under 15 seconds. The truck is specified by city sanitation departments, waste contractors, and public works agencies that require reliable, high-capacity collection on irregular routes and in areas with limited access to fixed waste transfer stations.

Build Materials

Materials

Q235B carbon steel for the body and container frame, 5mm thickness for structural strength
Q235A carbon steel for protective components and reinforcement plates
Cast iron or forged steel rollers for the swing arm, resistant to wear and impact
Hydraulic cylinders and valves made from high-strength steel with corrosion-resistant coating
Electrical components and control panels with weather-resistant casing

How It Is Built

Manufacturing Process

Chassis is received from Sinotruk and verified for wheelbase and drive configuration
Body shell is cut and welded from Q235B carbon steel, with internal reinforcement added
Hook lift system components are assembled and aligned with the chassis subframe
Hydraulic system is installed, including double cylinders, multi-way valve, and control lines
Three-way hydraulic control valve and electronic control unit are mounted in the cabin
Rear outrigger and safety devices (balance valve, double lock valve) are fitted
Final assembly includes tires, steering system, and body mounting to the chassis
All systems are tested under load with full cycle operation before delivery

Testing

Quality Control

Vehicle built to GB7965 performance requirements for waste collection vehicles
All hydraulic components tested under maximum pressure and load conditions
100 percent inspection of welds and structural joints using non-destructive testing
Final test includes full hook lift cycle, stability check with outrigger deployed, and safety valve function
Photos and videos of the completed truck sent to buyer before balance payment
Safety devices and control systems verified during final acceptance test

Build to Order

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

4x2 hook loader with 10cbm capacity	Lower payload and fewer cycles per day but better fuel efficiency and easier to maneuver in tight urban areas
Standard dump truck with manual loading	Much slower cycle time and higher labor cost, but lower initial purchase price
Containerized waste collection vehicle with fixed body	No flexibility to swap containers, but simpler maintenance and lower operational complexity

Operating Notes

Use Guide

Confirm left or right hand drive chassis at order stage to match local traffic rules
Use only the designated container types and ensure they are within the 20-ton weight limit
Deploy rear outrigger before lifting or unloading to prevent chassis tipping
Check hydraulic fluid level and pressure before each shift to avoid system failure
Perform routine inspection of rollers, chains, and hydraulic hoses after every 100 hours of operation
Free operator training is available at the factory before shipment
