SINOTRUK HOWO 480HP Concrete Mixer Truck | Heavy Duty Cement Mixer
Product Overview
HOWO 480HP Concrete Mixer Truck
The SINOTRUK HOWO 480HP Concrete Mixer Truck is a high-power concrete transportation solution developed for demanding construction and infrastructure projects.
Equipped with a 480 HP diesel engine and an 8×4 heavy-duty chassis, this mixer truck is designed to provide strong performance when transporting concrete under loaded conditions.
The vehicle combines a powerful truck chassis with a dedicated concrete mixing system. During transportation, the mixer drum continuously rotates to maintain the concrete mixture, while the hydraulic drive system allows controlled rotation during loading and discharge.
With its combination of high engine output, four-axle configuration and large-capacity mixer body, the HOWO 480HP mixer truck is suitable for customers operating in large construction projects where transportation efficiency and vehicle performance are important.

480 HP Power for Demanding Operations
The main feature of this configuration is its 480 HP engine.
A high-power engine provides additional power reserves when the mixer truck is operating with a full drum, climbing grades or traveling on demanding routes.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Large construction projects
- Long-distance concrete transportation
- Mountainous or hilly routes
- Infrastructure construction
- High-volume ready-mix operations
The powertrain can be matched with an appropriate transmission and rear axle ratio according to the customer's operating conditions.
Large-Capacity Mixer Drum
The HOWO 480HP can be equipped with a mixer drum in different capacities according to project requirements.
Common configurations can include approximately:
12 m³ / 14 m³ / 16 m³
The final drum capacity should be determined according to:
Chassis Rating + Legal GVW + Concrete Density + Local Regulations
The mixer drum can use wear-resistant steel and reinforced mixing blades for repeated concrete mixing operations.
Continuous Mixing During Transportation
The mixer drum is designed to rotate continuously while the truck is traveling.
This helps:
- Maintain concrete uniformity
- Reduce material segregation
- Keep the mixture workable
- Prepare concrete for efficient discharge
The hydraulic system controls drum rotation during the different operating stages.
Loading → Mixing → Transportation → Site Positioning → Discharge
Hydraulic Mixing System
The hydraulic drive system provides controlled power for the mixer drum.
During loading, the drum rotates in the appropriate direction to receive and mix concrete.
During transportation, continuous rotation helps maintain the mixture.
At the construction site, the drum direction can be changed to move concrete toward the discharge opening.
The hydraulic components can be selected according to the mixer capacity and customer requirements.
Wear-Resistant Mixer Structure
Concrete is highly abrasive, so durability is important for a mixer truck that operates frequently.
The mixer drum can be manufactured with wear-resistant steel, while reinforced mixing blades help withstand repeated contact with concrete.
This structure is intended for frequent:
Loading → Mixing → Transportation → Discharge → Cleaning
operations.
Concrete Discharge System
The rear discharge system is designed to provide convenient concrete unloading at construction sites.
The discharge assembly can include:
- Main discharge chute
- Extension chute
- Rotating chute
- Chute locking mechanism
- Cleaning water system
The chute configuration can be adjusted according to the customer's project requirements.
