Mounted Crane HOWO Chassis

The mounted crane HOWO Chassis is a multi-purpose vehicle that combines lifting and transport functions. The chassis features a three-layer through-frame design for superior load capacity and lightweight performance. It is purpose-designed to accommodate cranes from multiple brands and tonnages with minimal modification work. The powertrain is paired with a Weichai engine, HOWO transmission, and MAN-technology drive axles for proven reliability.

1. HOWO Heavy-Duty Chassis

The HOWO crane chassis features a purpose-built design for crane installation:

• Three-layer Through-Frame: Enhanced load-bearing capacity with industry-leading lightweight design
• Standard Differential Locks: Inter-wheel and inter-axle differential locks for improved off-road and rough-terrain performance

• Reinforced Suspension: Heavy-duty multi-leaf springs (11/11/12) for excellent load capacity

• Multiple Drive Options: 4×2, 6×4, and 8×4 drive types available for different working scenarios

4. Powertrain

Equipped with the Weichai WP8.350E61 engine with 7.8L displacement and peak torque of 1400 N·m. Paired with the HW13709XSTC2 transmission and HW70 flange PTO, offering:

• Neutral-Gear PTO Engagement: Hydraulic system can be driven while transmission is in neutral – no need to drive the vehicle

• External Start/Stop Control: PTO engagement and disengagement can be controlled from outside the cab

• Fuel-Efficient Low-Speed Operation: Lower engine RPM during PTO operation improves fuel economy and hydraulic system stability

Q1: What is the lifting capacity and boom specification of the 16t HOWO truck-mounted crane?

A1: Our 16-ton truck-mounted crane is built on a SINOTRUK HOWO chassis with a heavy-duty telescopic boom. It delivers the rated 16 t at the shortest working radius (about 2.5–3.0 m) and stays stable to a working radius of roughly 12–16 m, with a maximum lifting height around 18–20 m. For a lighter-duty option on the same platform, see our 8 ton truck mounted crane page.

Q2: Why choose a SINOTRUK HOWO chassis for a 16-ton crane?

A2: HOWO (SINOTRUK) chassis are widely used across the Middle East for their robust frame, strong after-sales network and cost-effective spare parts - ideal for the heat and dusty conditions in Saudi Arabia. Read more about the advantages of truck-mounted cranes and why the right chassis matters.

Q3: Do you provide SABER certification for Saudi Arabia?

A3: Yes. Every 16t HOWO crane truck we ship to Saudi Arabia is handled through the SABER conformity system (SASO), including the required Product Certificate (PC) and Shipment Certificate (SC). We prepare the documentation so the unit clears Saudi customs smoothly. If you need a different capacity, our 10 ton truck mounted crane follows the same SABER process.

Q4: Have you exported 16t HOWO cranes to Saudi Arabia before?

A4: Yes - we have completed multiple exports of 16t HOWO crane trucks to Saudi Arabia, with units operating in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and the Eastern Province. This track record means we know the SABER paperwork, the preferred chassis specs and the port routing (Jeddah Islamic Port / King Abdulaziz Port Dammam) that Saudi buyers expect.

Q5: What is the lead time, FOB price and shipping to Saudi Arabia (Jeddah / Dammam)?

A5: Standard 16t HOWO crane trucks are usually completed in 30–45 working days; custom booms or extra outriggers add about 1–2 weeks. FOB Qingdao or Shanghai typically lands in the five-figure USD range depending on boom and chassis spec. We ship by 40ft flat-rack or RORO to Jeddah Islamic Port or King Abdulaziz Port (Dammam). If a folding knuckle boom suits your sites better, our knuckle boom crane guide explains the option.
