SHACMAN X3000 6x4 Drive 380HP Diesel 30 Ton Heavy Duty Construction Dump Truck Earthwork Sand Gravel Transport Tipper

If your site sees more mud than asphalt, the SHACMAN X3000 6x4 is the configuration you want. This is not a highway truck with a dump body bolted on. The chassis, axles, and suspension were designed for the kind of ground that swallows lighter vehicles up to their diffs. When we deliver these to road construction contractors and dam builders, the first thing they check is the inter-axle differential lock and the ground clearance under the drive axles. They are usually satisfied within the first five minutes.

Why 6x4 Matters on Site

Unlike a 4x2 or 6x2 setup, the dual drive axles in the X3000 6x4 split torque across four drive wheels. When one side hits soft fill or wet clay, the differential locks route power to the wheels that still have bite. This keeps you moving without calling in a dozer to tow you out. The 12.00R20 tires run at pressures that spread 25 tons of gross weight wide enough to avoid sinking on most construction site surfaces.

Drivetrain Specs That Keep You Running

The Weichai WP10.380E32 pushes 380 HP and 1,600 Nm through a FAST 10-speed gearbox into dual reduction axles. The ratio spread on the 10JSD160 means you have a crawler gear for loading areas and an overdrive top gear for road transit between site zones. Clutch is a 430 mm single dry plate that mechanics can swap in under four hours with basic tools.

Cargo Body for Construction Materials

The 5800 x 2300 x 1500 mm box uses 12 mm floor plate and 8 mm side plates in abrasion-resistant steel. This holds up under repeated loading from wheel loaders dropping aggregate and riprap from height. The single-cylinder front-lift hoist tips the body in 25 seconds. Tailgate opens automatically on lift or can be locked for controlled spreading.

Day-to-Day Operation Notes

• Air conditioning and heater are included in the X3000 cab. Operators working in 40 C heat or mountain cold will appreciate this not being an optional extra.
• The dual circuit air brake system with ABS means you can stop a full load predictably, even when the surface under the tires changes from gravel to hard-packed dirt mid-corner.
• Fuel consumption sits around 28-32 L per 100 km in mixed site and road use. The 400 L tank keeps you running a full shift without fuel stops.
• Ground clearance under the rear axle is 280 mm at GVW. Enough for typical construction site ruts and spoil heaps.

Common Deployments

Highway construction earthmoving, dam and reservoir excavation, sand and gravel pit haulage, building foundation spoil removal, railway bed construction, and port bulk material handling. These trucks are working right now on infrastructure sites in Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, and the Philippines.

We keep chassis in stock at the factory yard. If you need one modified, tell us your local conditions and we adjust the body thickness, tailgate configuration, or tire spec before shipping. Standard delivery to major African and Southeast Asian ports runs 25 to 35 days after deposit clears.
