16 Ton Truck Mounted Crane for Sale – HOWO TX 8x4 with ZOOMLION Boom

★ HOWO TX 8x4 16 ton truck mounted crane with a grey cab, ZOOMLION ZLT4000 five-section boom and a grey 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 18-20 m with all five sections extended and lifts to 20-22 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 from a 300 L hydraulic tank with a twin plunger pump and double telescopic cylinders, and includes a moment limiter, automatic hook stow and optional radio remote.

Grey Drop-Side Cargo Body

▶ The cargo body is 8,500-9,000 mm long, 2,450-2,500 mm wide and 11-13 m³ in volume, with 550 mm drop sides that can be lowered for side loading. Vertical ribs and stake pockets along the panels 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 grey to match the cab. A ladder behind the cab gives access to the deck, and the rear bumper carries red-white reflective markings for export markets.

HOWO TX 8x4 Chassis

▶ The chassis is the HOWO TX 8x4 with a grey TX cab, HOWO grille lettering, Sinotruk badges, air conditioning and power steering. A 350 hp diesel of 9.5-11.0 L displacement drives through a 10-12 speed manual gearbox to two steering axles and a tandem rear bogie, and the truck runs on 12.00R20 or 11.00R20 tyres.

GVW is 31,000 kg, curb weight 14,500-16,000 kg and payload 15,000-16,500 kg, on a 4,300-4,800 mm wheelbase plus 1,350-1,400 mm rear axle spacing. Overall size is 11,900-12,000 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 mounted crane suits construction sites, steel and pipe yards, precast plants, municipal projects, equipment rental and logistics depots. The crane loads pipes, blocks, pallets and machinery while the long 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.
