HOWO 16 m³ Hook-Lift Truck for Detachable-Container Waste Transfer
A heavy HOWO hook-lift platform for collection networks that exchange detachable containers between sites and disposal points. The source identifies a 16 m³ container and 18-tonne GVW. Container geometry, loaded mass, steering, emissions and axle compliance must be confirmed for Ghana.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detachable-container exchange | Loads and unloads compatible detachable containers. | Requires a verified mechanical interface and loaded mass. | Hook geometry, rail spacing, locking points, container mass and site alignment. |
| 16 m³ waste transfer | Provides 16 m³ nominal container volume for transfer duty. | Usable load remains subject to waste density and legal axle limits. | Waste density, container tare, payload and legal axle limits. |

Configuration options and trade-offs
- Detachable-container system: Improves chassis utilization but requires compatible containers and storage space.
Operating fit
Suitable conditions
- Container-swap collection systems
- Transfer stations and distributed collection points
- Sites with adequate manoeuvring and container alignment space
Not recommended for
- Unverified third-party containers
- Loads exceeding confirmed axle or hook-lift limits
- Sites without stable container placement area
Frequently asked questions
What container volume is verified?
The source identifies a 16 m³ detachable container.
Can existing containers be used?
Only after hook height, rail spacing, locking points, dimensions and loaded mass are checked.
Are cycle times guaranteed?
No. Source values require final-build and operating-condition confirmation.
This HOWO hook-lift truck is designed to carry and exchange detachable waste containers. It suits operations where one chassis serves several collection points and containers remain on site while the truck transports a full unit.
Verified source configuration
- HOWO 4×2 chassis
- 16 m³ arc-shaped detachable container

The source states loading time of up to 40 seconds and unloading time of up to 45 seconds. These are source specifications, not guaranteed field cycle times; operating conditions, container alignment and maintenance affect performance.
Application fit
Suitable for transfer stations, markets, industrial sites and distributed container networks. The buyer must confirm container dimensions, hook height, rail spacing and locking interface.
Before quotation
Provide container drawings, waste type, maximum loaded mass, road and site conditions, required steering position and local axle-load rules.
FAQ
