BRIEF

The HOWO NX 50 Tons Rotator Tow Truck is a heavy-duty recovery and clearing vehicle built on SINOTRUK’s proven chassis, with an 8×4 drive configuration and a massive 41,000 kg gross vehicle weight. Designed for the most demanding roadside assistance, accident clearance, and off-highway recovery missions, this truck is equally at home hauling overturned trailers, stuck mining equipment, or disabled buses from highways, construction sites, and industrial zones. Its long wheelbase (1,800+4,600+1,350 mm) and large overall dimensions (11.5 m × 2.55 m × 3.8 m) provide exceptional stability and a commanding working stance even under extreme lateral loads.

Under the cab sits the SINOTRUK WD615.47 diesel engine, delivering 273 kW (371 HP) and a peak torque of 1,500 N·m from 1,100 to 1,600 rpm – precisely the low-end grunt needed for winching and rotating heavy loads. This is paired with an HW19710 manual transmission offering 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, giving the operator fine-grained speed and torque control for delicate positioning or brute-force pulls. With a top speed of 89 km/h and full air brakes, the truck can respond quickly to emergency call-outs while maintaining safe, controlled deceleration when carrying a recovered vehicle on the boom.

What truly defines this machine is its dual-winch and rotator boom system. Equipped with two separate winches, each rated at 25,000 kg pulling capacity, the truck delivers a combined 50-tonne pulling force – enough to drag fully laden trucks out of ditches or up steep recovery ramps. The under-lifting system can hoist up to 40,000 kg in close configuration, while the three-section hexagonal boom with a three-section trailing arm extends to a useful length of over 12 metres (12,230 mm), allowing the operator to reach vehicles far off the carriageway. This combination of raw power, reach, and precision makes this rotator wrecker not just a tow truck, but a mobile rescue station that reduces the need for multiple support vehicles, cutting response time and operational costs for recovery fleets.
