X3000 6x4 Dump Truck 430HP Quarry Rock Tipper 25 CBM Hardox 450 Front Lift Body

Granite and basalt break truck bodies that were never meant for them. This X3000 6x4 runs a 25 cubic metre rock bucket built from Hardox 450 plate, with a 10mm floor and 8mm side walls, so the steel wears instead of the structure behind it. Under the cab sits the Weichai WP12 at 430 horsepower, matched to a FAST 12-speed overdrive box and a 5.921 rear axle ratio for climbing out of a pit loaded.

The body lifts on a front-mounted hydraulic ram instead of the usual mid-mount single cylinder. That gives a cleaner discharge angle on sticky, uneven rock piles and keeps the ram out of the road spray. Fuel capacity is 400 litres in an aluminium tank, enough for a full shift without refuelling.

• Hardox 450 floor plate takes direct rock drop from a loader without oil-canning in the first season.
• Front-lift ram gives a shorter discharge arc, useful on narrow quarry benches where the truck cannot reverse far.
• 5.921 final drive keeps engine rpm in the torque band on 12 to 15 percent grades.
• Double-layer 850x300mm frame rails with 8+7mm reinforcement, bolted cross members rather than riveted.
• Rock deflector over the hydraulic tank and rear mud flaps sized for oversize loads.
• Spare wheel carrier, 20 litre hydraulic oil top-up and a full filter kit ship with every unit.

Crushed stone plants, granite quarries and basalt pits in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. If your loader is a 5 ton class machine with three to four passes per load, this body volume and axle ratio combination is the usual match. Send the material grade and haul road gradient and we will confirm the plate thickness and axle ratio you need.

• Wax coating on cab paint, wheels chocked and lashed for RORO or bulk vessel loading.
• Two units fit a 40HQ flat rack when the body is shipped disassembled, or roll on as complete units.
• Invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading, CIQ where required and a spare-parts kit list with part numbers.
