Load Capacity Analysis
The Chinese dumper tipper trucks based on the WD615 platform are engineered for maximum payload efficiency in rugged environments. With a GVW of up to 31,000 kg and a typical tare weight of 13,000–14,000 kg, these trucks deliver a practical payload range of 15–18 metric tons. The dual rear axles (each rated at 10,000 kg) ensure even load distribution and reduced ground pressure, critical for operation on soft or uneven terrain.
Payload optimization is further enhanced by high-strength dump bodies constructed from abrasion-resistant steel (e.g., NM400), extending service life in quarry and mining applications. Optional extended bodies can increase volumetric capacity to 25 m³ for lighter bulk materials (e.g., soil, sand).
Fuel Efficiency Performance
Fuel economy is a key operational metric for fleet managers. Under mixed load conditions (70% load average, on/off-road), the Weichai WD615 engine achieves 28–34 L/100 km, depending on terrain, driving style, and transmission use.
- Optimal Efficiency Range: 24–28 L/100 km on consistent haul routes with proper gear utilization.
- High Load/Off-Road: Consumption increases to 35–40 L/100 km due to sustained high torque demand.
- Engine Calibration: The WD615’s Bosch injection system and turbo-compound design improve combustion efficiency, especially at partial loads.
The HW19710 10-speed transmission enables precise gear selection, minimizing engine lugging and over-revving. When paired with a 5.73:1 rear axle ratio (standard), the drivetrain maintains optimal RPM in the 1,400–1,800 range during sustained climbs.
Operational Recommendations
- Tire Maintenance: 12.00R20 tires must be maintained at 85–90 psi for load-carrying stability. Regular rotation and alignment reduce uneven wear.
- Engine Service Interval: Oil and filter changes every 8,000–10,000 km; fuel filter every 5,000 km in dusty environments.
- Transmission Care: Use SAE 80W-90 GL-5 gear oil; inspect shift linkage and air assist system monthly.
- Used Truck Evaluation: Prioritize units with documented service history, low thermal stress indicators, and intact frame rails.
Conclusion
Chinese dumper tipper trucks equipped with the Weichai WD615 engine and HW19710 transmission offer a compelling balance of high payload capacity (15–18t), mechanical durability, and moderate fuel consumption (28–34 L/100 km). Their standardized components and widespread service network make them a cost-effective solution for construction fleets operating in high-utilization environments. When properly maintained, these trucks deliver over 800,000 km of service life, supporting long-term TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) objectives.

5. Recommendations by Use Case
| Fleet Profile | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| New, operational trucks (≤60t GVW) | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, low handling risk, cost-effective |
| Used or non-roadworthy units | Flat Rack | Enables transport without drivability; secure lashing |
| Fleet export (20+ units) | Bulk Cargo | Lowest cost per unit; requires corrosion and stowage oversight |
| Oversized ADTs (>3m width) | Flat Rack | Only viable method due to dimension limits |
6. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must comply with:
– IMDG Code (for fuel/lubricants onboard)
– CSC Safety Approval (Flat Rack containers)
– CIQ Pre-shipment Inspection (China)
– Bill of Lading (Sea Waybill) with detailed cargo manifest
– Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for new units
Corrosion protection must be documented via Wax Application Certificate with batch traceability.
7. Conclusion
For optimal balance of cost, safety, and equipment integrity, RO-RO is recommended for operational dumpers, while Flat Rack containers are essential for oversized or inoperable units. Bulk cargo remains a budget option but demands rigorous risk management. Universal application of wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is non-negotiable to ensure equipment readiness upon delivery.
