The Sinotruk HOWO 4.2m chick carriage truck is a 4×2 day old chick transport vehicle built on a HOWO chassis with a 116 HP engine and 6-speed manual gearbox. It is designed for transporting day old chicks, ducklings, and other poultry seedlings over long distances under extreme temperature conditions. The truck maintains a stable internal environment using a water-heated system, a Thermo King RV380 cooling unit capable of reaching -15°C, and a multi-point ventilation and exhaust system to ensure oxygen supply and prevent heat stress. It is used by breeding farms and poultry logistics operators in tropical and temperate climates where temperature control is critical to survival rates.
