Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Under standard operating conditions (loaded haul cycles of 3–5 km on unpaved mine roads with 6–8% gradients), the Weichai WD615-powered dump truck achieves an average fuel consumption of 38–44 liters per 100 ton-kilometers. This translates to approximately 2.8–3.2 km per liter when carrying a nominal 40-ton payload.
Fuel efficiency is influenced by:
– Operator driving style (aggressive shifting reduces efficiency by up to 18%)
– Ambient temperature and altitude (derating occurs above 2,500 m)
– Maintenance status of fuel injectors and air filters
The engine’s high-torque curve enables optimal gear utilization in the 1,400–1,800 rpm range, supporting fuel-conscious operation when paired with disciplined transmission use of the HW19710.
Load Capacity & Structural Integrity
These units are engineered for high-cycle, high-stress environments typical of open-pit mining and quarry operations. The 40–45 tonne payload range is sustainable over 10,000+ hour service life when adhering to maintenance schedules.
Key structural features supporting load capacity:
– Reinforced rear suspension with multi-leaf parabolic springs (120 mm thickness)
– Heat-treated axle housings (SAE 4140 alloy) resistant to torsional fatigue
– Centralized lubrication system for king pins and pivot joints
Payload accuracy should be monitored via onboard load scales or weighbridge calibration to avoid overloading, which accelerates wear on tires, axles, and frame welds.
Operational Recommendations
- Tire Maintenance: Inspect 12.00R20 tires weekly for cuts, tread depth (<3mm requires replacement), and inflation (10.5 bar recommended for mixed terrain).
- Transmission Use: Utilize HW19710’s splitter gears to maintain engine in peak torque band; avoid lugging below 1,300 rpm.
- Engine Service: Replace fuel filters every 500 hours; conduct injector calibration every 2,000 hours.
- Axle Lubrication: Change differential oil (GL-5 85W-90) every 1,500 hours or 45,000 km.
Conclusion: The Africa-grade used mining dump truck with Weichai WD615 engine and HW19710 transmission offers a cost-effective, rugged solution for high-volume earthmoving. With proper maintenance, fleet operators can expect 4–6 years of service in 2-shift operations, delivering strong ROI in remote and infrastructure-limited regions.

5. Recommended Use Cases
| Transport Mode | Recommended When… |
|---|---|
| RO-RO | Units are operational, time-sensitive delivery, lower handling risk preferred |
| Bulk Cargo | Mixed shipment of trucks and spare parts, non-operational units, cost-optimized |
| Flat Rack | Oversized units exceeding RO-RO clearance, need for containerized customs handling |
6. Operational Recommendations
- Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): Conduct full mechanical and structural audit prior to export. Include fluid levels, tire integrity, and corrosion status.
- Battery & Fuel Protocol: Remove batteries; drain fuel to <10% capacity to comply with IMDG Class 9 (vehicles with internal combustion engines).
- Lashing Compliance: For Flat Rack, adhere to CSS Code (Cargo Securing Manual) with minimum 4-point lashing at 150% of gross weight.
- Insurance: Marine cargo insurance with all-risk coverage, including corrosion damage (subject to wax spray compliance).
- Port Coordination: Confirm destination port’s capacity for heavy vehicle discharge (e.g., Durban’s heavy-lift terminal vs. Lagos’ congestion constraints).
7. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction firms exporting used mining dump trucks from China to Africa, RO-RO shipping offers the optimal balance of cost, speed, and safety for operable units. Bulk cargo is preferred for non-functional or disassembled units within mixed freight.
