Review : 620 HorsePower！This SHACMAN X5000 dump truck is truly high-end !

For composite transport dump trucks that carry a variety of materials such as sand, gravel, stone slag, and secondary soil, settlement is often based on each trip. The more trips made, the more earnings one can naturally accumulate. To achieve higher transport efficiency, high horsepower is essential. Recently, SHACMAN X5000 dump truck has achieved an impressive 620 horsepower!

Featuring a wide-body cab designed for construction use, the truck boasts comprehensive space configuration:

In terms of exterior, SHACMAN has always maintained a rugged and distinctive design, with a robust and square appearance that enhances recognition. The vehicle’s green and black two-tone paint scheme, coupled with a piano black honeycomb grille, exudes a personalized and unique style. This truck is equipped with features like integrated electrically adjustable rearview mirrors and a top sun visor. The entire vehicle’s glass comes with built-in sun film, combining luxury and practicality.

Standard features on the truck include a high-position bumper, down-drilling beams, and a radiator bottom guard. The bumper, specifically designed for construction vehicles, has a segmented structure, allowing the installation of a four-point duckbill hook below the license plate. It is sleek and does not have unnecessary accessories. Moreover, it is made of pure metal, outclassing similar models in terms of materials.

Dump trucks often operate day and night, and proper lighting during nighttime driving is crucial. Therefore, the SHACMAN X5000 dump truck comes standard with LED headlights. The low beam light is evenly distributed with the help of the lens. The headlights have a three-level height adjustment, and LED lights, both in brightness and lifespan, surpass traditional halogen lamps. This eliminates the need for additional lighting installations.

The wide-body design of the SHACMAN X5000’s cab provides a consistent spatial experience with logistics versions. It features a four-point suspension damping mechanism, offering above-average comfort. The truck exhibits minimal unnecessary shaking on normal road surfaces, and on rough construction site roads, it provides excellent shock absorption. The three-step pedal allows easy adaptation to uneven road surfaces.

The pedals are three-stage, and the bottom stage adopts a movable structure, making it less likely to bump when encountering potholes.

The interior is designed with various functions, including a top-mounted parking air conditioner:

The main driver’s seat is equipped with an airbag suspension seat with height and damping adjustment. Optionally, a Grammer MSG90.3 airbag suspension seat is available, providing additional lumbar support and excellent vibration reduction.

The interior features standard elements found in the X5000 series, such as a workbench steering wheel. However, for construction vehicles, cruise control is not required, so the steering wheel’s functional buttons only retain control buttons for Bluetooth, the infotainment system, and the function page.

The workbench configuration is particularly comprehensive, including a built-in phone holder, a standard large-screen infotainment system, and real-time monitoring of the cargo box lifting status and four-way cameras on the central control screen. The air conditioning system is also integrated into the large screen, with mechanical knobs below for adjustment. Other buttons are laid out in a piano key style below the large screen, with the battery cutoff switch integrated into this layout.

The gear lever has an exhaust brake operation and an E/P multi-state switch. Manual intervention, such as up and down gearing, is also achieved by flipping the lever. of.

This design is very interesting. SHACMAN X5000 integrates the differential lock and power take-off switches. Turn it to the left to see the power take-off, and turn to the right to see two differential locks. In addition to the power take-off, the ergonomic operation of the lift valve has also been redesigned to make unloading operations easier.

The truck features a hidden parking air conditioner on the roof, eliminating the need to idle the engine for air conditioning during waiting times， This can result in significant fuel savings.

The sleeper at the back is a common short sleeper design on engineering vehicles to meet daily rest needs.

Weichai 14-liter 620 horsepower engine, 13-speed AMT gearbox:

SHACMAN should be the first company to increase the horsepower of a dump truck to 620, and the engine of this SHACMAN X5000 is also the WP14H model from Weichai. While outputting 620 horsepower, this engine also has 2750N .m of torque. This kind of power output is completely sufficient for a dump truck, and with the blessing of high horsepower, the dump truck’s heavy-load starting, hill starting and speed-up capabilities will be even better. Users can calmly deal with special situations and daily operations can be smooth. It can improve the timeliness. The transportation efficiency of goods such as sand and gravel with high horsepower is immediately better than that with

low horsepower.

Only dump trucks equipped with Weichai have soul. The WP14H engine equipped with SHACMAN X5000 was born on a high thermal efficiency platform with a thermal efficiency of 52.28%. The throttle MAP, fuel injection volume, torque output, etc. are individually adjusted according to the working conditions of the engineering vehicle. data to achieve high transient response and the experience of outputting large torque at low speed. Like the components of the entire machine, improvements have also been made. The oil pan is equipped with a high-position steel oil pan as standard, which improves durability.

This car uses a 13-speed AMT transmission from FAST, model S13AOQ. This configuration is very interesting. It is rare to see an automatic transmission on a dump truck. If the dump truck drives frequently in urban areas, it can greatly reduce the labor intensity. After all, those who often drive dump trucks have to have a longer right hand. Cocoon. If you are worried about the reliability of the automatic transmission on the construction site, then this car can also provide off-road mode and hill start assist function, which completely simulates scientific operation under daily harsh working conditions, and can also control the gearbox during the escape process. To protect.

Furthermore, the gearbox adopts a 13-speed structure, which can simultaneously achieve a super large first gear ratio of direct gear and a faster speed of overdrive. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. With this gearbox, the vehicle’s maneuverability can also be improved.

The rear axle is a Hande 16-ton wheel reduction axle. Its advantages are high ground clearance and strong load-bearing capacity. This axle is also widely used in dump trucks.

In terms of rear suspension, SHACMAN X5000 Tipper also applies some mainstream configurations and new technologies. The tires are 12.00R20 steel wire tires, equipped with 12 leaf springs and a 4-horse card design. The rear axle balance shaft uses a new heavy-duty maintenance-free balance shaft to reduce maintenance frequency, and the vehicle chassis is waterproofed for higher reliability.

The fuel tank is made of aluminum alloy and has a maximum capacity of 400L. This capacity can also meet the endurance needs of composite dump trucks that have many long-distance transportation conditions.

The accessories of the chassis, such as the air filter and fuel tank, are designed at a high position, and the ground clearance is higher than 600mm, which is 60 centimeters, or more than half a meter. The probability of being bumped into when entering the construction site is greatly reduced.

The carriage size is 8000x2350x1500 (mm), withwear-resistant plates, and a V-shaped expansion box structure. The expanded volume can pull 1 more cubic meter of cargo. This is a new top truck integrated by CIMC SHACMAN. The cargo box volume is large enough. The bottom 5 sides and 3 sides are mainly used for transporting earthwork, sand and gravel. For other purposes, the box may need to be thicker.

However, such an 8-meter dump truck needs to be large in size and capable of carrying enough load. SHACMAN has also controlled its dead weight to the level of 16 tons, so it is not a problem to do work.

For dump trucks, it depends on SHACMAN . The hard-core configurations are constantly increasing for you. The 620-horsepower front four and rear eight have become the most powerful dump truck in the industry. So, card fans, do you think 620 horsepower is completely enough?
