Product Description
This SHACMAN 6x4 tractor truck is an F3000 model coded SX4255JV384, a 120-tonne super-heavy tractor built for mining and heavy haulage in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. A 430 HP WP12.430E201 Euro II engine drives through a Fast 12JSD200T-B 12-speed manual gearbox to 16-tonne double-reduction tandem axles at a 4.266 ratio, all carried on a 15 mm three-layer frame.
A 120-Tonne Rating and a 15 mm Three-Layer Frame
Not every heavy tractor truck needs a 120-tonne gross combination weight, and this one is built for operators who genuinely do. The frame is the giveaway: an 850 x 300 (8+7), 15 mm three-layer ladder rather than a standard double-layer rail, which spreads the bending load of a fully laden lowboy across more steel. Behind it sit 16-tonne double-reduction tandem rear axles and a 9.5-tonne extra-heavy front axle, mounted on multi-leaf springs sized for repeated full-gross cycles. Kerb weight is 8,500 kg, and the longer 7,450 mm body on a 3,775 plus 1,400 mm wheelbase gives a stable platform for oversized loads.
430 HP Through a 4.266 Ratio for Sustained Heavy Pulls
The WP12.430E201 at 430 HP gives this SHACMAN 6x4 tractor truck the torque reserve a 120-tonne combination needs. The 4.266 final drive is a short ratio chosen for tractive effort, letting the unit break a heavy load away from rest on a grade or a soft haul road instead of bogging down. The 12JSD200T-B gearbox spreads that power over 12 forward and 2 reverse gears so the driver can hold the engine in its strong band at low speed. Top speed is governed at 90 km/h, a deliberate ceiling for a truck that spends its working life heavy and slow.
Mining Tyres, Fifth Wheel and Options
This heavy tractor runs 12.00R20 mining wire tyres with a spare and a 90# reinforced saddle, matching the lowboy, tanker and dump semi-trailers used on mining and engineering contracts. The F3000 flat-roof single-bunk cab provides an air-suspension seat, air cab mounting, electric windows and a steel bumper for long shifts on rough access roads. Buyers may specify a high-roof double-bunk cab, a 50# standard saddle in place of the 90# unit, an oil-bath desert air filter, ABS, or fleet VI paint. Tell us the trailer and duty cycle and we will confirm the build before quoting.
