HOWO 12 m³ Rear-Loader for Higher-Volume Municipal Collection
A higher-capacity HOWO rear-loader for municipal and contractor routes that need more body volume per trip. The verified 12 m³ body suits larger collection duties, while payload, GVW, length, steering, emissions and hopper details remain subject to signed engineering confirmation.

Core capabilities in operation
Capabilities are shown with their operating conditions. Route productivity varies with waste density, stop frequency, access and haul distance.
| Parameter | Working result | Calculation conditions | Factors that change the result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 m³ collection volume | Provides 12 m³ nominal collection body volume. | Actual usable payload depends on waste density and legal axle limits. | Waste density, moisture, payload and legal axle limits. |
| Ground-loading collection | Allows waste loading from ground-level collection points. | Confirm hopper geometry and operating procedure in the signed specification. | Hopper geometry, loading procedure, crew safety and site access. |

Configuration options and trade-offs
- 12 m³ body: Reduces unloading frequency but needs more access clearance and axle-load review.
Operating fit
Suitable conditions
- Higher-volume municipal routes
- Commercial and peri-urban collection
- Roads suitable for the final axle loads
Not recommended for
- Restricted routes before turning and clearance checks
- Operation before payload, GVW and axle-load confirmation
Frequently asked questions
What body capacity is verified?
The source title, model and description identify a 12 m³ refuse body.
Why are payload and length omitted?
The source contains conflicting values, requiring a signed engineering specification.
Is a ground-loading hopper included?
It is identified by the source title; final dimensions and controls must be confirmed.
This HOWO 12 m³ rear-loader is intended for municipal and contractor routes where a larger body can reduce transfer or disposal trips. It uses a heavy two-axle platform with a full hydraulic compaction body.
Verified source configuration
- HOWO 4×2 chassis
- 12 m³ refuse body
- Diesel power and manual transmission
- 3,800 mm wheelbase stated in the source description
- 2,360 mm width and 3,000 mm height
Payload and overall length are not published because the source records contain conflicting values. They require a signed engineering sheet.
Application fit
Suitable for higher-volume municipal, commercial and peri-urban collection where road access and axle limits support the final vehicle. Route output must be estimated from waste density, stop frequency and haul distance.
Before quotation
Confirm route access, bin or hopper interface, steering position, engine and emission package, axle loads, GVW and Ghana registration requirements.
FAQ
What capacity is verified?
The source title, model and description identify a 12 m³ body.
Why are payload and length omitted?
The source contains conflicting values, so neither is presented as verified.
Is a ground-loading hopper included?
The source title identifies a ground-loading hopper; the final hopper dimensions and controls must be confirmed.
Verification and support
Vehicle data is mapped from the source product record. Final payload, steering side, emissions, selected equipment, documents and destination-market compliance must be confirmed in the signed technical schedule.
