HOHAN 6x4 Tractor Truck — Sinotruk-Backed Prime Mover, CIF Ready

What the HOHAN 6x4 Is Built For

This is a purpose-built tractor head — designed to pull semi-trailers in long-haul and regional haulage work. The 6x4 drivetrain puts power through four driven rear wheels, giving it the traction to handle loaded container trailers, flatbed trailers, and tanker semi-trailers on both sealed highways and unpaved rural routes.

Typical applications our buyers run:

• Container haulage — 20ft and 40ft ISO containers from port to depot (Durban, Mombasa, Lagos, Aqaba)
• Flatbed and low-bed trailer work — construction materials, steel coil, machinery
• Tanker traction — fuel, water, and bulk liquid semi-trailers
• Regional cross-border freight — Zambia–Zimbabwe, Uganda–Kenya, UAE–Oman corridors

At a GCW of up to 40–50 tonnes depending on trailer specification, the HOHAN 6x4 sits squarely in the workhorse category that dominates African and Middle Eastern freight corridors.

WD615 Engine & HW19710 Gearbox — The Parts-Commonality Advantage

The WD615.47 engine produces 371 HP and is one of the most widely distributed diesel engines in the Chinese heavy-truck market. Sinotruk fits this same engine family across its HOWO and HOHAN ranges, which creates a practical advantage that buyers often overlook until their first breakdown.

Because the WD615 and the HW19710 10-speed gearbox are shared with HOWO trucks, spare parts for your HOHAN tractor head are available in the same local markets that already stock HOWO components — including most major cities in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Iraq, and the UAE. Independent mechanics familiar with HOWO engines can service a HOHAN with no learning curve.

This is a meaningful difference compared with European brands: you are not waiting weeks for a proprietary part to clear customs. You source locally, you fix locally, and the truck is back on the road. Browse our HOHAN dump truck range to see more models running the same drivetrain.

Wider Cab, Longer Haul Comfort

HOHAN cabs are wider than the standard HOWO cab. For drivers spending 10–14 hours a day behind the wheel on East African or Gulf freight routes, the extra shoulder room and improved dashboard ergonomics reduce fatigue. The cab is a sleeper-ready configuration on most units, with fold-down bunk, storage compartments, and a larger windshield for better forward visibility on night runs.

This is one of the reasons fleet operators in South Africa and Uganda specifically request HOHAN over standard HOWO when they are running long-distance interstate routes rather than short local cycles.

Refurbishment Standard & Inspection Process

Every HOHAN 6x4 tractor truck that leaves Sigma Truck has been through a documented inspection and refurbishment process before we quote it to a buyer. We do not export units with hidden mechanical faults and then rely on the buyer to discover them after arrival.

Standard refurbishment scope includes:

• Engine compression test and oil system check; injector service if required
• Gearbox and transfer case inspection; oil seal replacement as needed
• Fifth-wheel plate inspection and greasing — critical for tractor-trailer coupling safety
• Brake system: lining thickness check, air line integrity, ABS sensor function
• Electrical: lights, horn, instrument cluster, starter motor
• Tyres: tread depth measured, replaced if below threshold
• Cab: rust treatment on floor panels, seat and bunk condition assessed

A written inspection report is provided with each unit. Buyers can also request pre-shipment photos and video of engine start-up, under-chassis, and fifth-wheel condition. If you are comparing options, our used tractor trucks listing covers multiple brands and configurations at various price points.

LHD or RHD — Shipping & Import

HOHAN 6x4 tractor trucks are available in both left-hand drive (LHD) and right-hand drive (RHD). Conversion is done in-house before export, not by a third-party workshop.

We ship CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) to destination ports across Africa and the Middle East:

• Africa: Durban (South Africa), Mombasa (Kenya), Lagos (Nigeria), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Kampala (Uganda, via Mombasa), Tema (Ghana), Lusaka (Zambia, via Dar es Salaam)
• Middle East: Jebel Ali (UAE), Umm Qasr (Iraq), Sohar (Oman)

CIF pricing means the truck arrives at your port with freight and marine insurance included. You handle port clearance and local duties — we provide the commercial invoice, bill of lading, and inspection certificate required by most customs authorities. Transit times from China: approximately 18–28 days to East African ports, 22–32 days to West Africa, 12–18 days to the Gulf.

Buyer Checklist Before You Order

Before finalising your HOHAN 6x4 tractor head order, confirm the following with our sales team:

• Drive side: LHD (continental Africa, Middle East) or RHD (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, South Africa)
• Trailer type: fifth-wheel height and kingpin size — we pre-set the fifth wheel to match your trailer standard
• Emission requirement: most African and Middle Eastern markets accept Euro II; confirm with your local customs authority if in doubt
• Tyre spec: standard units ship with 12R22.5; we can substitute if your market has a different preference
• Documentation: original title, inspection certificate, bill of lading, commercial invoice — confirm what your port of entry requires
• Parts supply: ask us to include a basic spare-parts kit (filters, belts, common seals) with your shipment — this is available on request

If you are also evaluating other platforms, compare the HOWO tractor head — same WD615 engine family, different cab and price bracket. The matching tipper on this chassis is our HOHAN 6x4 dump truck.
