HOWO 38t rotator truck
HOWO 38T Rotator Wrecker
The HOWO 38-ton rotator wrecker is purpose-built for heavy-duty vehicle recovery and highway rescue operations. Designed with a robust lifting system and reliable hydraulic controls, it offers efficient towing and hoisting performance for large trucks, buses, and engineering equipment under demanding conditions.
High-Capacity Lifting and Towing System
With a towing capacity of 38,000 kg and a hoisting capacity of 30,000 kg, the HOWO rotator wrecker easily handles heavy vehicle recovery tasks. Even when the boom is fully extended, it maintains a maximum lifting capacity of 3,500 kg, ensuring stable and safe operation in challenging environments.
Flexible 360° Rotating Boom
The three-section hexagonal boom provides 360° continuous slewing capability and a maximum extension of 11,420 mm. With a maximum lifting height of 12 meters and an approximate working radius of 10 meters, the wrecker offers wide and flexible operation for recovery work in confined spaces or complex road situations.
Efficient Winch and Control Configuration
Equipped with dual 150 kN winches and 55-meter Φ22 mm steel wire ropes, the system supports both synchronized and independent operation. Manual and remote control options give operators precise control over every movement, improving efficiency and safety during towing and lifting processes.
Stable Outriggers and Safety Enhancements
The front outriggers span 6,100 mm and the rear span 4,000 mm, providing a solid and balanced foundation during hoisting or rotation. Optional equipment such as remote control and top seat, combined with built-in safety functions like overload protection and emergency stop, ensures dependable operation in all conditions.
Durable and Reliable HOWO Chassis
Built on the HOWO ZZ1317N4668W 8×4 chassis, this model uses a 276 kW WD615.96E engine that meets Euro II emission standards. The HW19712CL 12-speed manual gearbox and reinforced axles (7 t ×2 front, 16 t ×2 rear) provide powerful traction and strong load capacity, making it suitable for long-term, high-intensity operations.
Comfortable Operation Environment
The HOWO HW76 extended cab offers excellent visibility, ergonomic controls, and a comfortable workspace for the operator. Its design supports long-distance rescue missions with enhanced driving comfort and reduced fatigue.
Versatile Application Range
Ideal for highway accident recovery, construction vehicle handling, and emergency rescue, the HOWO 38T rotator wrecker delivers reliable power, stable lifting, and precise control—ensuring efficient recovery performance in all working environments.
