SINOTRUK HOWO 371HP 17 Tons 35,500 Liters LPG Bobtail Truck – Mobile Propane/Butane Refueling Solution for Nigeria/Mali
We Are 100% Straight Factory Manufacturer For LPG Tanker Truck Since 2004
Products Description
Nigeria's domestic gas revolution demands rugged, high-capacity equipment. The SINOTRUK HOWO 371HP LPG Bobtail Truck is not merely a delivery vehicle; it is a mobile filling station designed for the harsh realities of Nigerian roads from Apapa to Kano.
With a massive 35,500-liter water capacity and a 17,000 kg payload, this unit bridges the gap between large-scale LPG skid stations and retail dispensers. Unlike standard tankers, this LPG refueling truck (Propane gas tank truck) integrates a high-flow pumping system, allowing you to decant butane and propane directly into downstream cylinders or storage tanks. Since 2014, we have deployed over 1,000 LPG trucks and trailers into Nigeria, earning the trust of AA RANO, AYM SHAFA, Rainoil, and PetroCam.

Key Applications in the Nigerian Downstream Sector
This Sinotruk HOWO LPG bobtail truck is purpose-built for three critical missions:
Mother-Daughter Station Refilling: Transport LPG from coastal terminals (like NIPCO or Navgas) to satellite retail shops in Ibadan, Benin, or Onitsha.
Industrial Plant Re-gassing: Direct injection of propane into manufacturing facilities, hot mix asphalt plants, and food processing units.
Remote Area Distribution: Mobile refueling for communities lacking pipeline infrastructure, using the built-in 15-meter automatic reel and filling cabinet.
The vehicle is optimized for LPG (Propane & Butane mixes) at an 85% filling level, complying with DPR (Department of Petroleum Resources) safety codes.
Chassis & Mobility (Built for Nigerian Terrain)
Model: Sinotruk HOWO 8x4 (4-axle) rigid truck.
Overall Dimension: 11800 x 2500 x 3690 mm – Maneuverable in tight filling stations despite volume.
Driving Model: Left Hand Drive (Standard for Nigerian exports).
Engine: WD615.47, 371HP @ EUROII emission standard. Optimized for high-sulfur diesel available locally.
Torque: 1250 N.m – Crucial for pulling full 35-ton GVW up to 30% grade-ability hills.
Transmission: HW19710 + PTO (10 forward, 2 reverse). The Power Take-Off drives the hydraulic system for the pump.
Suspension & Axles: Front VGD95 (9.5T x2) and Rear MCX16ZG (16T x2) leaf springs. Designed to handle the 17-ton payload dynamic load.
Tires: 315/80R22.5 (12 pcs + 1 spare) – Radial tires for heat resistance on long hauls.
Fuel Tank: 400L Aluminum Alloy – Extended range for cross-country logistics.
Liquid & Vapor System
Pump: USA CORKEN Z2000EGAEE vane pump (155-287 L/min). Includes internal relief valve to prevent deadheading.
Flow Meter: English reading + printer for receipt generation – Essential for customer billing at the point of delivery.
Reel: Automatic retractable (15 meters) with REGO filling nozzle.

The LPG Tank System (35,500 Liters)
Material: Q345R (Pressure vessel steel) – Thickness: 10mm shell, 12mm end plates.
Design Standards: 1.61 Mpa design pressure / 2.21 Mpa hydrostatic test pressure.
Temperature Range: -20°C to +50°C (Suitable for tropical Nigerian heat).
Welding: 100% radiographed – X-ray tested for zero leakage risk.
Manhole: DN450 – Allows easy internal inspection by NMD (Nigerian Meteorological Department) officials.
Why Buy This LPG Truck From Us? (Trusted Since 2014)
We do not sell "stock" trucks. We deliver operational profitability.
1. Nigeria-Specific Customization
Generic LPG trucks fail in Nigeria due to dust, bad roads, and high ambient temperatures. Our HOWO features:
Front exhaust pipe (Chassis mounted at cabin front) to reduce underbody heat and dust kick-up.
Sun shelter over the tank to reduce pressure rise from direct sunlight.
Corrosion allowance: 1mm extra thickness on all fittings.
2. Compliance & Documentation
We provide every document required by the Nigeria Customs Service and NAFDAC/DPR:
- Certificate of Origin (CCVO).
- Hydrostatic Test Certificate.
- Radiography Report (Weld quality).
- Commercial Invoice & Bill of Lading.
3. Proven Track Record in Nigeria
Over 1,000 units operational locally. Our clients include:
- AA RANO Nigeria Ltd.
- AYM SHAFA Energy.
- Rainoil Limited.
- PetroCam
We have supplied not just the LPG bobtail trucks but also LPG storage tanks, skid stations, and tanker trailers to these top 5 Nigerian oil & gas distributors.
4. Post-Sale Support in West Africa
