A HOWO 6x4 crane truck, also called a boom truck or truck-mounted crane, carries its own load and lifts it on and off without a separate crane. It suits building suppliers, contractors and equipment dealers.
Common export builds mount an 8 t or 12 t class telescopic crane behind the cab of a SINOTRUK WD615 chassis, with a cargo deck behind it. The crane brand, boom length and load chart are confirmed on the quotation.

Choosing this configuration
Choose the crane by the weight you lift at the distance you need, not by its headline tonnage. Send the heaviest item and how far from the truck it must be placed, and we check it against the crane's load chart.

Configuration details and checks
A truck-mounted crane's capacity changes with working radius and boom extension. An 8 t or 12 t class rating describes a short-radius lifting condition, rather than the load that can be lifted at every reach.
| Chassis and crane | The listed truck has a 6x4 chassis, a WD615 engine in the 336–371 hp class and an HW19710 manual gearbox. Confirm the crane mounting position and usable cargo-bed dimensions. |
|---|---|
| Load chart | Request the crane model, boom sections, maximum working radius and rated loads at the required lifting distances. |
| Installation | Confirm subframe design, outrigger arrangement, hydraulic equipment and remaining cargo-bed space after crane installation. |
What to confirm before ordering
- Provide load weight, lifting radius, lifting height and the available setup area.
- Check ground-bearing requirements and the outrigger positions used in the load chart.
- Request the crane inspection documents and an operating demonstration by a qualified operator.
Reference examples describe possible equipment, rather than current stock. The written quotation confirms the engine, chassis, body and included equipment for your order.
Options
- Crane size and brand to order
- Left- or right-hand drive
- Remote control on request

Condition and warranty
- Brand new: factory order
R Trucks and Heavy Machinery provides a 12-month warranty on the engine, gearbox and rear axle of new and refurbished trucks; wear parts are not covered. Your written sales contract confirms the coverage and exclusions. Your quotation states the condition, the work done and the parts replaced.
Before the balance payment, ask for dated photos and a video call of the actual truck: chassis, cab, engine bay, gearbox, axles, tyres and odometer. Independent inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas or another inspector is welcome.
Export documents and shipping
We supply the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and Certificate of Origin. Destination inspection and conformity documents depend on your country: check steering side, emission standard, vehicle age limits, duties and registration rules with a licensed clearing agent before ordering.
Delivery to a Chinese port takes 30 to 45 working days after the deposit. Trucks normally ship by RoRo, or by flat-rack where RoRo is not available. Prices are EXW Jining; sea freight is quoted separately when the truck is ready to ship.

Frequently asked questions
Can a 12 t crane truck lift 12 t at full reach?
No. A 12 t rating applies only at the shortest working radius. At longer reach the safe load drops sharply; ask for the load chart of the crane on your quotation.
How much is a HOWO crane truck?
Price on request. Send the crane size, the heaviest lift and reach, drive side and destination port, and we reply with an EXW Jining quotation.
Can I get the exact truck specification before payment?
Yes. Ask for the chassis model, engine, gearbox, axles, wheelbase, tyres, body or equipment, condition, price, Incoterm, and delivery schedule in the quotation and proforma invoice. Do not rely only on a general catalogue description.
Can an independent company inspect the truck?
Yes. Independent pre-shipment inspection is welcome. The inspection scope should compare the actual truck with the signed specification and record identification plates, condition, operation, dimensions, and visible defects.
Is the displayed specification guaranteed for every unit?
No. It describes common configurations. Stock and factory-order specifications can vary. Only the final written sales documents and inspection record define the truck being supplied.
