In Stock • Ready to Ship • Serving Cotonou, Parakou, Porto-Novo and All Benin
Benin is seeing rapid growth in road construction, port expansion at Cotonou, and large-scale agricultural logistics. Contractors and fleet operators across Cotonou, Parakou, Abomey-Calavi, and the northern Atakora region need trucks that combine raw haulage power with low running costs and widely available spare parts. The used Sinotruk Howo 6x4 dump truck 371HP LHD Euro 2 is engineered for exactly these demands.
With a proven 10-speed gearbox, heavy-duty rear axles rated for loaded African road conditions, and a 20–25 m³ tipper body, this machine handles everything from laterite quarrying to sand delivery along Benin’s Route Nationale network. Sourced directly from verified yards in China by Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd, every unit undergoes a multi-point inspection before shipment, so what arrives at Cotonou Port is road-ready from day one.

Road Construction: Hauling laterite, gravel, and crushed stone on Route Nationale 1 and rural feeder road projects across southern and central Benin. A single 371HP Howo can carry 25+ tonnes per trip, dramatically reducing cycle time on tight project schedules.
Quarry and Mining: Moving raw ore, rock fill, and aggregate at quarries near Djougou and Natitingou. The 6x4 axle configuration provides traction and stability on unpaved quarry access roads common in the Atakora and Donga departments.
Agricultural Bulk Transport: Transporting bulk cotton, maize, and soybeans from northern farmlands to Cotonou processing and export hubs. The large body volume reduces the number of trips needed per harvest cycle, cutting fuel and labour costs for agribusiness operators.
Urban Construction in Cotonou and Abomey-Calavi: Delivering sand, gravel, and construction blocks for the housing and commercial development boom in Greater Cotonou. Drivers familiar with Howo trucks appreciate the responsive steering and low cab-entry height in congested urban sites.
Port Logistics at Cotonou: Short-haul bulk movement within and around the Port of Cotonou, West Africa’s busiest transit hub. The truck’s 30-tonne payload matches standard container weight limits for efficient port-side transfer.
Cross-Border Transit: Serving Benin’s role as a transit corridor to landlocked Niger, Burkina Faso, and northern Nigeria via the Route des Poids Lourds. The high-torque 371HP engine sustains loaded highway speeds on long-distance runs without overheating.
