Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd exports this model directly to Zambia, with units inspected, documented, and ready for Dar es Salaam or Durban port shipment.
Whether you are running copper concentrate hauls on the Copperbelt, managing a construction fleet in Lusaka or Kitwe, or expanding into road-building subcontracting, this truck delivers a proven payload-to-cost ratio that no new import can match at the same price point.

Applications in Zambia
The Howo 6x4 371HP dump truck is one of the most actively used heavy trucks in Zambia across several sectors:
Copper and Cobalt Mining (Copperbelt Province): Operators in Kitwe, Ndola, Chingola, and Mufulira use this truck for ore concentrate haulage, overburden removal, and inter-pit material movement. The 6x4 drivetrain handles gravel mine roads and wet season conditions far better than 4x2 alternatives, and the 371HP engine sustains loaded climbs on elevated terrain common in the Copperbelt.
Road Construction and Infrastructure: With the TAZARA railway corridor upgrade underway and government road programmes active across Lusaka, Eastern, and Southern provinces, contractors need bulk earthmoving capacity on tight budgets. A used Howo 6x4 dump truck for construction in Zambia fills that gap directly — proven enough to run daily, cheap enough to finance without bank debt.
Quarrying and Aggregate Supply: Stone quarries supplying aggregate for road base and concrete in Lusaka and Central Province rely heavily on 6x4 dump trucks for short-cycle hauls between the quarry face and stockpile. High cycle rates suit the Howo's robust drivetrain.
General Freight and Bulk Haulage: Maize, fertiliser, and general cargo moving through Zambia's agricultural belt also make use of 6x4 tipping bodies when hopper-loading at depots. The RHD configuration is a legal requirement in Zambia and this unit complies.

Zambia allows import of used trucks up to 10 years old (verify current ZRA regulations before purchase). CIF Dar es Salaam or Durban pricing, import duty, and clearing costs at Nakonde or Chirundu border will add to the landed cost.

Shipping & Delivery to Zambia
Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd ships used Howo dump trucks to Zambia via two primary routing options:
Dar es Salaam (TZA) → Nakonde Border → Zambia: Transit time from Qingdao port to Dar es Salaam is approximately 22–28 days. Overland from Dar to Lusaka via Nakonde adds 3–6 days depending on border clearance. This is the most established route for Zambian used truck imports and the same corridor being upgraded under the TAZARA project.
Durban (ZAF) → Beit Bridge or Chirundu → Zambia: Transit time from Qingdao to Durban is approximately 25–32 days. Overland from Durban to Lusaka via Chirundu adds 4–7 days. This route is preferred by buyers in Southern and Central Province.
Trucks are shipped Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off), bulk carrier ship or in flat-rack containers depending on clearance height and port availability. All units come with a commercial invoice, bill of lading, export certificate, and inspection report. We can assist with pre-shipment inspection coordination if required by your clearing agent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a used Howo 6x4 dump truck legal for import in Zambia?
Yes. This unit is right-hand drive and Euro 2 compliant. Zambia permits Euro 2 imports. Confirm the specific model year against current Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) age restrictions before purchase, as import age limits are subject to regulatory updates.
How many kilometres is typical for a used unit?
Units in the 2017–2019 range typically show 25,000 to 55,000 km on the odometer. Engine hours and service history matter more than odometer reading alone. We disclose both in the inspection report.
Can I get a WD615 engine overhaul in Zambia?
Yes. Lusaka and Kitwe have workshops experienced with the WD615 and HW19710 gearbox. Overhaul parts including liners, pistons, and bearing sets are available from local importers without long lead times.
What is the tipping body capacity?
Standard bodies on 6x4 371HP units range from 18 to 22 cubic metres. Body size is confirmed per unit. If you need a specific volume for mine or quarry work, confirm before ordering.
Do you offer financing?
We do not provide direct financing, but we work with buyers using Zambian bank trade finance facilities and can provide the documentation packages lenders typically require.
Can I order multiple trucks at once?
Yes. Volume orders of 3 or more units typically qualify for adjusted pricing and consolidated shipping to reduce per-unit freight cost.
