Shandong-headquartered exporters — Qingdao Dihui Mining Machinery and Jinan Komliga Industrial — anchor the current Chinese dump-truck supplier index, both listing rigid-frame and underground variants with 1-piece MOQ and trade-term flex from EXW to CIF [S1][S2].
A 6X4 336 HP 50-tonne tipper on Okorder carries a 21-30 t load rating, 4-6 L diesel, Euro 2 emission class, and 251-350 HP band [S5]; an 8X4 380 HP 18 m³ 30-50 ton variant from the same source lists a 1,500-piece monthly run-rate out of Shanghai [S5].
Dump Truck Type Bands and Drivetrain Layouts
A four-axis 8X4 rigid dump truck with 380 HP and 18 m³ body sits in the 30-50 t payload class and ships at 1,500 units/month from Shanghai, while a six-wheel 6X4 336 HP 50 t tipper uses a 4-6 L diesel with 251-350 HP output and Euro 2 emission spec [S5]. A 371 HP second-hand HOWO 6X4 lists at US$12,800 per piece; a separate 6X4 371 HP USED HOWO sells in the US$10,000-20,000 per-piece window [S3]. On the heavier end, Tradewheel lists a 45-ton SRT45 rigid mining dump truck at a flat FOB US$73,500 per unit, and a 45-ton first-class-pipeline mining dump in the same vendor's catalog. Mining dump trucks (矿山自卸车) are classified as off-highway units running at open-pit mines, hydro projects, and quarries, typically paired with excavators, wheel loaders, and belt conveyors for load-haul-dump cycles. Reference: mining dump truck.
Price, MOQ and Incoterm Spread
Made-in-China hot-product listings for full-spec dump trucks sit at US$40,000-60,000 per piece with a 1-piece MOQ from Diamond Member CIMC Vehicles [S6], and Tradewheel rigid mining dumps anchor at US$73,500/unit FOB. Jinan Komliga accepts FOB, EXW, CFR, and CIF and targets South America and Africa as its declared main markets [S2]. The 8X4 380 HP 30-50 t truck accepts TT or LC with monthly supply of 1,500 PCS, loading port Shanghai [S5], while Okorder's 6X4 336 HP 50 t tipper lists no minimum order and ships from Okorder-managed terms [S5]. Reference: dump truck.
Manufacturer Cluster: Shandong and Liaoning
Shandong is the dominant base — Qingdao Dihui Mining Machinery (Qingdao, Building 15 Weidong Shiao International, Shinan District) lists dump-truck manufacturer, steel-ball, and underground-truck supplier roles under CEO Mr. Levi [S1]; Jinan Komliga Industrial is anchored at Jiuqulu Road, Jinan City, with South America and Africa as primary regions [S2]. Made-in-China's Liaoning regional channel surfaces multiple HOWO second-hand 6X4 371/375 HP 8X4 listings alongside fence-sidewall, van-box, flat-bed, sprinkler, and water-bed variants from Beiben / North Benz [S3][S4]. Tradewheel aggregations are dominated by Chinese sellers, with SRT45 45-ton rigid mining dumps and F3000 / H3000 10-wheeler used tipper semis surfacing in the same listing pages.
Specification Comparison: Light Tipper vs Heavy Mining Dump
Side-by-side against four decision criteria, a 6X4 336 HP 50 t tipper and an 8X4 380 HP 30-50 t tipper contrast with a 45-ton SRT45 rigid mining dump as follows. Drivetrain: 6X4 vs 8X4 vs rigid-frame 2-axle. Engine: 4-6 L / 251-350 HP vs 380 HP vs SRT45 mining-class. Price band: US$10,000-20,000 (used HOWO) and US$40,000-60,000 (CIMC) [S3][S6] vs mid-band new vs flat US$73,500/unit FOB. Application: construction / aggregate haul vs mid-volume quarry / civil vs open-pit mining and hydro-dam cycles [S5].
Standards, Emissions and Buyer Caveats
Euro 2 emission classification appears on the Okorder 6X4 336 HP 50 t tipper data sheet, and buyers shipping into Europe or California need Euro 5/6 or EPA equivalents — confirm the emission class on the OEM plate, not the catalog title [S5]. Mining dump trucks operate off-highway, so on-road homologation (type approval, mirror/lighting, speed limiter, ADR) does not apply and site-only registration is typical. Used HOWO listings do not always declare axle wear, drum hours, or body plate thickness; a pre-shipment inspection on frame rails, hoist cylinder seal integrity, and tipper body floor gauge is standard practice when sourcing US$10,000-20,000 second-hand units [S3].
