Selection guide
What this truck can do
Use these figures to plan the job; confirm the final specification and operating limits for the exact build.
18,410 kg rated load
The listed load allowance for the truck; it is separate from the 31,000 kg gross vehicle weight.
Check for your job: Include bucket, attachments, fuel and securing equipment in the transported mass.
Hydraulic loading ramps
Designed to support machine loading without a separate crane when the ramp is rated for that machine.
Check for your job: Confirm ramp rated load, angle, width, traction and hydraulic controls.
8×4 rigid chassis
A single self-propelled truck rather than a tractor plus semi-trailer combination.
Check for your job: Check turning space, axle loads and road limits on the intended route.
Typical applications
Excavator and machinery transport for construction, quarry and infrastructure projects.
Product overview
Before loading an excavator, compare its transport weight, track width and ground clearance with the finished truck’s rated load and usable deck. The ramps must have suitable width, traction, approach angle and certified capacity for that machine. Confirm axle distribution, securing points and route clearance for the exact FAW 8×4 build.

Working fit
Where this configuration makes sense
Consider it for
- Single-machine moves where the complete load is within a verified rated-load and axle plan.
- Sites that can accommodate the final truck length, turning circle and ramp deployment.
Check another option when
- Treating the 31,000 kg GVW as available payload.
- Loading machinery before confirming deck, ramps and tie-down ratings for that model.
Configuration
Options that change the job
Ramp design
A longer or assisted ramp can change approach angle and loading convenience, but also adds weight and changes rear clearance.
Confirm selected ramp rating and deployed footprint.Deck and securing equipment
Deck plate, winch and tie-down choices affect working weight and usable space.
Ask for the final deck drawing and the rated securing points.Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
Can this truck carry 31 tonnes of machinery?
No such payload is established here. The source specification lists 31,000 kg GVW and 18,410 kg rated load; the actual allowable load also depends on axle distribution and the finished build.
Are the ramps suitable for my excavator?
That depends on machine weight, track width, ground clearance and the ramp's certified rating and angle. Supply the machine model and request a loading drawing.
What dimensions are published?
The source specification lists overall dimensions of 10,020 × 2,550 × 3,260 mm. Confirm the dimensions and clearance of the final configuration before transport planning.
What should I provide for a quotation?
Provide the machine model and operating weight, track width, route, preferred chassis specification, destination country, quantity and required delivery terms.
