Shacman Delong F3000 6×4 Tractor Truck

What this machine is

The Shacman Delong F3000 6×4 tractor unit. Three axles with the rear two driven, a 430 hp Weichai engine and a 12-speed manual gearbox. Rated at 40 tonnes towing.

Overall 7.00 m long, 2.55 m wide and 3.00 m tall, on 12.00R20 tyres. Left-hand drive, convertible to right-hand drive. China II, III or V by unit. Model years 2020 to 2023.

Our catalogue does not print a cab designation for this build, so the specification table leaves that row out rather than filling it with something that reads right. Ask and we will photograph the actual cab on the unit.

What it is used for

Haulage, and it is the truck most often asked for by name.

Corridor and regional freight. Container work off a port, general cargo on a flatbed, bulk behind a tipping trailer.

Mixed fleets. Where a buyer already runs Shacman, adding another F3000 means one parts inventory, one set of mechanic knowledge and one set of habits.

Contract haulage. Forty tonnes at 430 hp is enough power for a full combination on most routes without paying for the big-cab trucks.

Why the F3000, and what the name is worth

Sitting next to the M3000, this truck is nearly identical on paper: same 430 hp Weichai, same 3.00 m height, same 54 m³ on the vessel, same towing rating. On a specification sheet you would struggle to justify choosing between them.

The reason to choose the F3000 is not on a specification sheet, and it is a real reason. This is the Shacman name that has been in West and Central Africa longest. That means the mechanic in your town has worked on one. It means the parts shop stocks the filters. It means when you come to sell it, a buyer knows what it is.

In a market where the nearest official dealer may be in another country, the truck your local trade already understands is worth more than a slightly better truck it does not. That argument does not apply to a fleet operator with their own workshop and a parts supply chain. It applies very strongly to an owner driver and a small haulier, and most of the people reading this page are one of those.

What it is not. It is not a long-distance sleeper. At 3.00 m with one bunk it is a working cab. For multi-day routes with two drivers, the X3000 at 68 m³ or the SITRAK at 72 m³ is the honest answer.

Condition, and what we do before it ships

Through our own workshop before it loads: inspected, put right, and photographed at each stage while the work is happening.

Ask specifically for a photograph of the cab interior and the grille badge on this model. We do it as standard, because the Shacman cab lines look alike from a distance and the badge is what settles which one you are buying.

Shipping it

54 m³, joint lowest with the M3000 of any prime mover on this site. Sea freight is charged on that volume rather than on the truck’s weight, so the low cab is money back before the truck has done any work.

Loaded at our yard in Tangshan, shipped through Tianjin Port.

What to tell us

What your local mechanics and parts suppliers already know, because on this page that is a genuine input. What you will pull. Your destination port, the quantity and whether you need right-hand drive.
