HOWO Dump Truck Bulk Cement Tanker Trailer Senegal Delivery Case

A Senegalese client purchased a fleet of heavy-duty HOWO dump trucks and custom-built pneumatic discharge bulk cement tanker trailers. This order was specifically tailored to meet the client's rigorous transport requirements, ensuring reliable performance in hauling bulk earthworks aggregates and powdered silicate cement across the diverse urban and unpaved road conditions found in West Africa.

Client Requirements & Equipment Solution Background

The Senegalese customer, a major contractor managing both quarry extraction and batching plant supply chains, needed a dual transport setup. Handling unpaved aggregate routes alongside sensitive dry bulk cement required equipment built with elevated durability, higher axle weight tolerances, and rust-resistant surface coatings.

Through detailed technical consultations, ZW Vehicle Group customized a combined vehicle delivery package tailored specifically to the customer's operational budget, site parameters, and maintenance preferences.

Customer's Prime Mover Choice: HOWO Dump Truck

To pull heavy loads through challenging terrain, the customer selected Sinotruk's HOWO dump truck platform. Recognized globally as a dependable tipper truck supplier option, these vehicles provide high power and simple mechanical maintenance for African transport operators.

The client's order included 371 HP Weichai engines paired with heavy-cast HC16 double-stage reduction axles. This mechanical arrangement gives the client maximum low-end torque on unpaved roads while ensuring effortless climbing capability when fully loaded at excavation pits.

Dry Bulk Solution: Pneumatic Cement Powder Tanker

For dry bulk cement distribution, the customer required a leak-free bulk cement tanker trailer capable of fast unloading without material residual clogging. ZW Vehicle Group manufactured V-type pneumatic tanks to meet these exact operational needs.

Equipped with an independent auxiliary diesel generator and a 12m³/min dual-cylinder compressor unit, the client's pneumatic cement trailer discharges bulk powder into storage silos at rates exceeding 1.5 tons per minute, keeping downtime to an absolute minimum.
