F3000 |
15-25 tons (Flatbed/Cargo) |
25-45 tons (Tractor/Dump) |
50-80 tons (Heavy Dump) |
Tractor pulling a 40-ton trailer, flatbed moving small machinery |
|
X3000/X5000/X6000 |
18-30 tons (Cargo) |
30-50 tons (Multi-type) |
50-70 tons (Extreme Heavy Load) |
X6000 tractor for over 60 tons, cargo truck with a 15m³ body |
|
H3000 |
10-20 tons (Urban Flatbed) |
25-45 tons (Tractor/Dump) |
45-65 tons (Mine Dump) |
4×2 cargo truck for 18 tons in cities, 6×4 for balanced economy |
|
L3000 |
8-15 tons (Light Cargo) |

Entry-level flatbed, municipal transport for 10 tons of equipment |
For instance, the F3000 8×4 can handle an 80-ton dump load for heavy port cargo. In contrast, the L3000 4×2 is better for 15-ton city deliveries, preventing waste from using a truck that’s too large.

Transmission, Fuel, and Safety Systems
The X3000 series uses a 12-speed manual or AMT transmission, like the FAST 12JSD200T. It also has large fuel tanks and modern safety systems. These features ensure long operating times and driver safety.
- Transmission Benefits: The 12-gear synchronizer design allows smooth shifting. It also prevents rollback on slopes. Truckman tests show the AMT version improves shifting speed by 15% in city traffic.
- Fuel Savings: Large fuel tanks mean fewer stops for fuel. Customers in the Middle East report 12% annual fuel savings. Emissions are below Euro VI limits.
- Safety Features: ESC provides anti-skid control. The HARDOX underbody resists impacts. An Australian mine reported a 25% drop in accidents after getting these trucks.
Key Factors That Determine Payload
Shacman trucks perform well because their systems work together. The key factors are:
- Chassis and Suspension: Reinforced beams and a multi-leaf spring design can withstand 50-ton impacts. The chassis distributes loads evenly, which extends vehicle life by 30% on rough roads. The suspension system protects cargo, with damage rates under 5% in Middle East cases.
- Axles and Tires: The front axle is rated for 7.5 tons and the rear for 16 tons. R20 tire treads improve grip on wet ground.
- Auxiliary Systems: A hydraulic lift or PTO ensures smooth operation for different truck types.

FAQ
What is the payload range of Shacman trucks?
Shacman trucks can carry loads from the 10-ton L3000 light cargo truck to the 80-ton F3000 8×4 heavy dump truck. For example, the F3000 6×4 tractor’s standard payload is 25-45 tons. Truckman suggests checking the GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) limit based on terrain and local rules. This helps you avoid fines or safety risks from overloading.
What are the differences between 4×2 and 8×4 trucks?
The 4×2 configuration is easy to maneuver. It’s good for city deliveries and flatbed transport under 20 tons. The 8×4 setup focuses on stability and heavy loads. It performs very well on slopes and off-road. Feedback from our Middle East projects shows the 8×4 design greatly improves off-road grip. Customers report a 15% reduction in operational risks. We can also run simulations to help you pick the best configuration.
Can Shacman trucks be customized for different uses?
Yes. Shacman trucks offer many customization choices. You can adjust them for your needs, from a 15m³ flatbed for equipment to a tractor-trailer setup.
