Special Vehicle

Start from the load, not the catalog. A 1-ton roll-off (YTZ5020ZXXK0F) suits narrow old-town container exchange; a 14-ton unit (YTZ5160ZXX20E) is the general municipal workhorse; a 20-ton unit (YTZ5250ZXX40E) carries C&D debris and scrap where weight — not volume — limits each trip. For mixers, match drum volume to the ready-mix plant's pour size and the transit distance; for wreckers, match boom capacity and under-lift rating to the largest vehicle you expect to recover.

Choose electric superstructures for city-centre work inside a low-emission zone — electric cargo, electric mixer, electric refrigerated and electric dump bodies all run with zero local emission and low noise. Choose diesel where the cycle is long, remote, or both: a 20-ton hook-lift on a suburban route, a wrecker patrolling an expressway, or a sewage truck reaching distant septic tanks. Most municipal fleets end up running a mix.

The body, not the chassis, decides daily reliability. Hook-lift customers should confirm the hoist's pulling and lifting rating against the heaviest container; mixer customers the drum drive and discharge chute; sewer customers the vacuum pump flow and lift height; compactor customers the packing-plate cycle and bin-lifter interface. Tell us the container weight, pour volume or bin type and we will match the hydraulic spec.

Cities use 14-ton hook-lifts (YTZ5160ZXX20E) to swap skip containers between collection points and transfer stations; compact 1-ton units (YTZ5020ZXXK0F) enter old narrow streets. Recommended class matches container weight and street width.

Diesel mixers serve suburban plants; electric mixers serve city-centre and low-emission-zone pours where noise and fumes are restricted. Recommended class: match drum volume to plant dispatch and transit time.

Wreckers with boom and under-lift recover broken-down trucks and cars on highways. Recommended where recovery of loaded heavy vehicles is expected, so boom and under-lift rating drive the choice.

Pure-electric cargo, wing-opening, refrigerated and light trucks serve last-mile and cold-chain distribution inside city emission zones. Recommended where daily range fits an in-depot overnight charge.

Vacuum sewer trucks empty septic tanks and desludge interceptor pits. Recommended class: match tank volume and vacuum pump flow to the typical tank depth and distance between calls.

A roll-on/roll-off (hook-lift) truck swaps whole skip containers, so it is efficient where waste is already containerised and you need to leave a box and haul a full one away. A rear-loader compactor lifts small bins, compresses the refuse inside the truck body, and unloads at a transfer station or landfill. Choose hook-lift for containerised waste; choose compactor for kerbside bin collection.

Choose electric for city-centre and low-emission-zone work where noise and fumes are restricted and the vehicle returns to a depot each night for charging. Choose diesel for long suburban or intercity cycles with no charging point. Many contractors run electric units for downtown pours and diesel units for outer-suburban plants.

Match the hoist's rated lifting and pulling capacity to your heaviest loaded container, not its empty weight. A 14-ton unit (YTZ5160ZXX20E) covers most municipal skips; step to a 20-ton unit (YTZ5250ZXX40E) for C&D debris and scrap where the loaded container is heavy.

Yes. Right-hand-drive variants are available for markets such as the UK, Australia, Southeast Asia and parts of Africa. We confirm the chassis and superstructure compatibility before production and include the conversion documentation in the export file.

Superstructures are mounted on mainstream commercial truck platforms, commonly Dongfeng, Sinotruk (Howo), Foton and JAC, so local technicians already know the cab, engine and electrical system. Tell us which chassis your service network supports and we will match it where possible.

Standard catalog models are usually ready within 15–30 working days after deposit. Customised builds — right-hand-drive conversion, modified superstructure, Euro calibration or body-volume changes — typically take 35–50 working days, plus sea freight depending on the discharge port.

The standard warranty is 12 months or 20,000 km. Superstructure wear parts — hook-lift pivots, mixer drum seals, vacuum valves and compactor packing plates — are supplied as kits, and technical queries are answered within 48 hours.
