16 Ton Crane Truck for Sale – HOWO TX 8x4 350 hp ZOOMLION 5-Section Boom

★ HOWO TX 8x4 16 ton crane truck with a red cab, ZOOMLION ZLT4000 five-section boom and a red drop-side cargo body for lifting and hauling on one chassis.

ZOOMLION ZLT4000 Five-Section Boom

▶ The crane is a green ZOOMLION ZLT4000 straight boom mounted on a reinforced subframe behind the cab. It lifts 16,000 kg at close radius, reaches 20-22 m with all five sections extended and lifts to 21-23 m, with 360° slewing for placing loads on either side of the truck.

Four hydraulic outriggers stabilise the truck during lifting: the front pair extends sideways in an H pattern and the rear pair deploys behind the rear axles. The boom carries a 16 t main hook and a 3 t auxiliary hook, runs at 25-30 MPa from a 200-300 L oil tank and can be fitted with a radio remote control and a moment limiter.

Red Drop-Side Cargo Body

▶ The cargo body is 8,200-8,800 mm long, 2,400-2,500 mm wide and 10-12 m³ in volume, with 550 mm drop sides that can be lowered for side loading. Vertical stakes and side ribs keep pipes, pallets and bulky equipment in place during transport.

The body is built from Q235/Q345 steel with a 4-5 mm floor and 2-3 mm side panels, painted red to match the cab. White reflective segments run along the side rails, a ladder behind the cab gives access to the deck, and the rear bumper carries red-white markings for export markets.

HOWO TX 8x4 Chassis

▶ The chassis is the HOWO TX 8x4 with a red flat-roof cab, HOWO grille lettering, SINOTRUK sun-visor branding, WEICHAI and TX 350 door badges, air conditioning and power steering. A 350 hp diesel of 9.5-11.0 L displacement drives through a 12-speed manual gearbox to the tandem rear axles, and the truck runs on 12.00R20 or 315/80R22.5 tyres.

The door plate reads 31,000 kg GVW and 550 mm side height. Curb weight is 15,000-17,000 kg and payload 14,000-16,000 kg, on a 1,800-1,950 + 4,600-4,650 + 1,350 mm wheelbase. Overall size is 11,800-12,000 mm long, 2,500-2,550 mm wide and 3,700-3,900 mm high, with a 300-400 L fuel tank and air brakes.

Applications and Export Delivery

▶ The truck suits construction sites, steel and pipe yards, precast plants, municipal projects, equipment rental and logistics depots. The 16 t five-section boom loads pipes, blocks, pallets and machinery while the 10-12 m³ red drop-side body carries the same load down the road, so one truck handles both lifting and transport.

Left-hand drive is standard and right-hand drive is available to order. Options include a radio remote, extra work lights, a reversing camera, a spare-wheel carrier and an export spare-parts kit. Production is 25-40 days, with container or ro-ro shipping and full export documents.
