Company Profile: Shandong Shengchi Import & Export Trading Co., Ltd. (Shandong Shengchi Truck)

With five years of specialized experience in cross-border exports of construction vehicles and self-owned modification factories, we adopt an integrated supply model covering brand-new trucks, premium used vehicles and customized refitting. We focus on bulk exports of mining dump trucks to all African regions, delivering reliable haulage solutions for open-pit mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, Guinea, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and other mineral-rich countries.

Premium Used Mining Trucks Tailored for African Mines (Rigorously Inspected Good Condition Units)

All units are built on original Howo chassis, carefully selected retired vehicles from domestic mines with no structural cracks, major collisions or water damage. Each truck undergoes comprehensive refurbishment before delivery:
  1. 6×4 Mining Dump Trucks (371/400 HP & 400 HP)Load capacity: 20–28 tons. Equipped with mechanical Weichai engines without complex post-processing systems, perfectly compatible with low-grade diesel widely available in Africa. Ideal for small and medium open-pit mines, short-distance ore transportation and rough dirt roads in East and West Africa.

  2. 8×4 Heavy-Duty Mining Dump Trucks (430/440 HP)Strengthened frames, thickened wear-resistant mining cargo boxes and heavy-duty rear axles support a rated load of 30–40 tons. The flagship model for large gold, copper and lithium mines in Central and Southern Africa, designed for continuous high-intensity operations.

  3. Custom Modified Wide-Body Used Mining HaulersFor super-large open-pit mines, we refit second-hand chassis with widened frames, enlarged wear-resistant cargo boxes and puncture-resistant mining tires to boost climbing and heavy-load capacity.

Strict Selection Standards for Used Mining Vehicles for Africa

  1. Age Compliance Control: Vehicle age strictly complies with local import regulations (≤10 years for Nigeria, ≤15 years for DRC, ≤8 years for Chad) to avoid customs detention.

  2. Core Component Inspection: Engines free of major overhaul damage, smooth-shifting gearboxes, leak-free hydraulic lifting systems, intact rear axles and fully overhauled braking systems with all worn parts replaced.

  3. 7-Tier Full-Lifecycle Quality Inspection: Raw material & chassis origin verification → modification compliance test → heavy-load road simulation test → full vehicle cosmetic & mechanical refurbishment → trade document audit → emission & safety recheck → final pre-shipment inspection. An independent digital quality file is provided for every truck.

  4. Mine-Specific Refurbishment: Reinforced wear-resistant cargo box steel plates, puncture-proof mining tires, upgraded shock absorption systems, rewired circuits, brand-new batteries and brake pipelines to withstand dusty, steep and overloaded mining conditions.

Core Advantages of Chinese Used Mining Dump Trucks for African Mines

  1. Cost-Effective for Mining Project BudgetsThe purchase cost of used trucks is only one-third of brand-new units. Perfect for short-term mining projects with a service life of 1–3 years, lowering upfront capital investment and residual value loss upon project completion.

  2. Simple Mechanical Design for Local Maintenance in AfricaEquipped with Euro II/Euro III mechanical fuel injection engines without urea tanks or complex ECU modules, the trucks can be repaired by local ordinary mechanics. Howo spare parts are widely accessible and affordable across African ports and mining towns, minimizing production downtime.

  3. Strong Adaptability to Harsh African Mining Environments

  • Robust heavy-load frames handle muddy, stony and unpaved steep mine roads;

  • Tolerant of low-quality non-standard local diesel to prevent fuel injector clogging and power loss;

  • Customizable left/right-hand drive, cargo box volume and emission standards to meet national traffic laws and import emission requirements.

  1. Much Faster Delivery Than New TrucksLarge stock of ready-used vehicles. Refurbishment and inspection only take 7–15 days before shipment, versus a 2–6 month production cycle for new trucks. Fast truck supply eliminates delays to mine construction schedules.

One-Stop Full-Service Export Solution Exclusively for African Mining Clients

Our integrated closed-loop supply chain covers all export procedures, so clients only need to coordinate with our team:
  1. Vehicle Matching & Custom Refitting Based on Mine Operating ConditionsWe design exclusive haulage schemes according to mine mineral types, daily transport mileage, road gradients, local weight limits and import certification standards. Custom refitting services include left/right-hand drive conversion, engine power adjustment, cargo box expansion, anti-corrosion reinforcement and emission standard modification.

  2. Full Set of Compliance Documents to Resolve African Customs Clearance IssuesWe handle customs declaration, commodity inspection and Form A certificates on your behalf. We provide SGS/BV pre-shipment inspection reports for mandatory national certifications including Nigeria SONCAP, Kenya PVoC and Angola CNCA, avoiding port detention and high warehousing fees.

  3. All-Inclusive Sea Freight (CIF Delivery to Destination Ports)Vehicles are shipped in bulk via ro-ro vessels from Qingdao and Tianjin to major African ports including Mombasa, Lagos, Tema, Dar es Salaam, Conakry and Durban. We provide real-time shipping schedules, ETA updates and original bills of lading, with bulk booking to cut per-unit shipping costs.

  4. After-Sales Support Localized for Mining Operations

  • Supply supporting construction machinery such as loaders and excavators for one-stop procurement of mining and transport equipment;

  • Spare parts warehouses established at core African mining zones with 24/7 online technical support;

  • On-site emergency maintenance solutions and training for local repair crews to address after-sales pain points for mines.

Applicable African Mining Markets

  1. Central Africa (DRC, Angola): Large open-pit copper, cobalt and lithium mines; priority supply of heavy-duty 8×4 used mining trucks for long-duration ore haulage.

  2. East Africa (Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya): Small and medium gold mines and quarries; 6×4 dump trucks as the primary model for short-distance mountain transportation.

  3. West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Guinea): Bauxite and gold mines with strict 10-year vehicle age limits; pre-screened compliant premium used trucks with complete SONCAP clearance documentation.

  4. Southern Africa (South Africa, Mozambique): Large-scale mineral industrial parks; bulk supply of hundreds of units with long-term spare parts supply agreements available.

Delivery & Corporate Strength Guarantees

  1. Five years of exclusive construction vehicle export experience, with over 2,000 heavy-duty vehicles delivered to more than 30 countries worldwide. Repeat order and referral rates from African mining clients exceed 60%.

  2. Self-owned intelligent refitting production lines with no reliance on third-party manufacturers for controllable refurbishment and delivery cycles.

  3. Mature contingency plans for logistics delays, customs clearance disputes and on-site vehicle breakdowns.

  4. Flexible order options ranging from single trial units and bulk dozens-of-truck purchases to annual framework supply contracts to meet expanding mine transport demands.
