Shacman Delong M3000 6×4 Tractor Truck

What this machine is

The Shacman Delong M3000 6×4 tractor unit. Three axles with the rear two driven, a 430 hp Weichai engine, a 12-speed manual gearbox and the M3000 single sleeper cab. 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.

What it is used for

Haulage. Regional distribution, port runs, quarry to plant, and contract work where the truck comes home most nights.

Shacman is one of the two brands, with Sinotruk, that a buyer in this market sees most often, and the Delong 6×4 is what most of that presence is. Parts, mechanics who know the truck, and second-hand value all follow from that.

Why this is the freight-efficient choice

Every 6×4 tractor unit on this site tows 40 tonnes. What separates them is how much cab you pay to move across an ocean, and this one is the smallest.

54 m³. That is the lowest figure of any prime mover we sell, one cubic metre under the HOWO NX and the Shacman H3000, eleven under the HOWO double sleeper, fourteen under the X3000, and eighteen under the SITRAK.

Now put the power next to it. The M3000 here is 430 hp. The HOWO NX at 55 m³ is 371 to 400. So this truck is simultaneously the smallest box on the vessel and more powerful than the cheapest alternative to ship. On a fleet order that combination is difficult to argue with.

What you are giving up is cab. At 3.00 m tall with the entry-line interior, this is a working cab rather than a living one. There is one bunk and it is not generous. A driver doing three-day corridor runs will notice within a week.

The rule that follows is simple. Day work and regional running: the M3000 is probably the best commercial decision on this site. Long-distance with drivers sleeping in the truck: pay for the cab, take the X3000 or the SITRAK, and accept the freight.

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.

Fifth wheel and rear suspension first, as on any prime mover. On a Shacman, ask also for the cab mounts and the steps, which take the wear on a truck that is climbed in and out of repeatedly on short runs.

Shipping it

54 m³, and it is the number this page is really about. Sea freight is charged on the space the truck occupies, so the smallest cab in the range lands at your port for the least of anything that tows 40 tonnes.

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

What to tell us

Whether the truck sleeps out. What you will pull, and whether you need us to supply it. Your destination port, the quantity and whether you need right-hand drive. On a fleet order tell us the total: the volume advantage here compounds.
