Refurbished or Fake? Used Truck Checks in Africa/Asia

Used trucks, especially durable models like HOWO and SHACMAN, are highly popular in Africa and Central Asia due to their excellent cost-effectiveness. However, the biggest risk when buying a used truck is the authenticity of its "refurbishment." Professional refurbishment is vastly different from a simple cosmetic makeover. To determine if a used truck has been professionally refurbished, first look at the documentation. Legitimate refurbishers will provide a detailed refurbishment checklist, the brands and batches of replaced components, and pre- and post-refurbishment inspection reports.

Secondly, inspect the core components. Professional refurbishment goes beyond a new paint job; it involves a thorough disassembly, cleaning, replacement of worn parts, and reassembly of the engine, gearbox, and axles—which are the core strengths of our featured HOWO and SHACMAN trucks. Look for new seals, new pipelines, and high-quality welding traces inside the engine bay, rather than just oil stains covered up.

Finally, check the cabin and chassis. Professional refurbishment addresses chassis rust and applies anti-corrosion treatment. The electrical system, seats, and interior of the cabin should also be renewed to ensure driver safety and comfort. We guarantee that all used trucks we offer undergo a stringent refurbishment process. This ensures that the truck delivered to you not only looks new but also performs near new-car standards internally, allowing you peace of mind even under challenging transport conditions. Choosing us means choosing transparency and professional quality assurance.
