3 Units of SINOTRUK HOWO Tractor Trucks Prepared for Export to Tema, Ghana

1. Extended Cross-Border Fuel Range (400L + 400L Dual Tanks)

To eliminate frequent refueling stops on long-haul transit runs from Tema Port to Ouagadougou, each HOWO tractor is built with a dual aluminum alloy fuel tank configuration totaling 800 liters. Fitted with independent fuel selection valves and secondary fuel-water separators, the driver can toggle tanks seamlessly during multi-day transit journeys.

2. JOST Heavy-Duty Fifth Wheel Assembly

Engineered to tow 40ft high-cube shipping containers and heavy flatbed trailers loaded with structural steel or cocoa bags, all three trucks are equipped with reinforced JOST 90# (3.5-inch) heavy-duty cast steel fifth wheels. The mounting plate is backed by high-tensile angle steel sub-framing to absorb lateral coupling shocks on unpaved secondary roads.

3. Coastal Anti-Corrosion Chassis Treatment

Operating out of the humid marine atmosphere of Tema Port causes rapid rust degradation on standard steel frames. These units feature multi-layer cathodic electrophoretic coating (KTL process) on the cab shell and heavy-duty wax undercoating applied across the frame rails, air tanks, and brake lines.

4. High-Torque Mechanical Drivetrain for Regional Serviceability

Powered by the reliable WD615 series 371HP mechanical engine paired with the HW19710 10-speed manual transmission, the fleet ensures maximum torque delivery at low RPMs. Local mechanics in Kumasi and Tamale have instant access to spare parts, keeping maintenance downtime to an absolute minimum.

Shipping & Port Delivery Execution to Tema

Following successful synchronous factory testing—including air pressure retention checks, fifth-wheel locking mechanism validation, and chassis alignment—all three HOWO prime movers were assigned for direct Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessel loading.

Destined for Tema Port, Ghana, the shipment includes full COC (Certificate of Conformity) documentation, customized spare filter maintenance kits, and direct port-clearance authorization for immediate integration into the client’s commercial transport fleet.
