Heavy commercial focus
SITRAK is a SINOTRUK brand. In Australia, the published range is focused on rigid cargo trucks, tippers, mixers and prime movers rather than light trucks or ute-sized commercial vehicles.
Australian heavy-truck guide
SITRAK trucks Australia: G5S, G7S and C9H explained
SITRAK's Australian range is centred on heavy cargo, tipper, mixer and prime-mover applications. G5S covers rigid cargo and vocational configurations, G7S moves into 540hp prime-mover and tipper work, and C9H is the 660hp, 90-tonne-GCM long-haul flagship. The exact axle layout and Australian specification matter more than the series name alone.
Range overview
Which SITRAK series fits which job?
| Series | Australian starting configurations | Typical application | Key published range point |
|---|---|---|---|
| SITRAK G5S | 4x2, 6x4 and 8x4 cargo; 6x4/8x4 tipper; 8x4 mixer | Distribution, tipper, agitator, waste, hooklift and rigid body work | Up to 31,000kg GVM in listed 8x4 variants; Allison automatic transmissions |

Published GVM and GCM are configuration limits, not payload figures. Body, fuel, driver, equipment, fifth-wheel position and axle limits determine usable capacity.
Rigid and vocational range
SITRAK G5S: cargo, tipper and mixer trucks
G5S is the broadest rigid and vocational series in the Australian range. The current published configurations include 4x2, 6x4 and 8x4 cargo trucks, 6x4 and 8x4 tippers, and an 8x4 mixer cab/chassis.
| Configuration | GVM / GCM | Power / torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4x2 Cargo Euro 6 | 18,000 / 18,000kg | 310hp / 1262Nm | Allison 3000 |
| 6x4 Cargo Euro 6 | 25,000 / 25,000kg | 330hp / 1322Nm | Allison 3200 |
| 8x4 Cargo Euro 6 | 31,000 / 31,000kg | 350hp / 1400Nm | Allison 4430 |
| 6x4 Tipper Euro 6 | 25,000 / 25,000kg | 310hp / 1250Nm | Allison 3200P |
| 8x4 Tipper / Mixer Euro 6 | 31,000 / 31,000kg | 350hp / 1400Nm | Allison 4430P |
For cargo and vocational work, request a finished tare and axle-load calculation with the actual body, hydraulics, fuel, driver and accessories.
Prime mover and heavy tipper
SITRAK G7S: 540hp prime mover and tipper range
G7S moves into heavy prime-mover and tipper applications. The Australian-listed 6x4 prime mover publishes a 90,000kg GCM, while the 6x4 and 8x4 tipper configurations publish a 75,000kg GCM.
| Configuration | GVM / GCM | Power / torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6x4 Prime Mover Euro 6 | 25,000 / 90,000kg | 540hp / 2550Nm | ZF 12TX2621TO |
| 6x4 Tipper Euro 6 | 25,000 / 75,000kg | 540hp / 2500Nm | ZF 12TX2621TD |
| 8x4 Tipper Euro 6 | 31,000 / 75,000kg | 540hp / 2500Nm | ZF 12TX2621TD |
Match the G7S configuration to the actual route, trailer or body, axle masses, site conditions and applicable mass scheme.
Flagship prime mover
SITRAK C9H: 660hp heavy-duty prime mover
The Australian-listed C9H is a 6x4 prime mover publishing 660hp, 3200Nm and a 90,000kg GCM. It sits above the 540hp G7S as SITRAK's high-output option for demanding combination and long-haul applications.
| Configuration | 6x4 prime mover |
|---|---|
| Published GVM / GCM | 25,000 / 90,000kg |
| Power / torque | 660hp / 3200Nm |
| Transmission | ZF 12TX3221TO 12-speed AMT |
| Starting application | Heavy combination and long-haul work |
Assess the C9H through route, gross mass, fuel use, driver requirements, workshop access, parts, downtime and resale—not power and purchase price alone.
Market context
What else should a SITRAK buyer compare?
SITRAK should be compared with trucks built for the same completed job—not with an entire brand or a different weight class. The following ranges are useful research starting points before requesting equivalent written quotes.
| SITRAK starting point | Other ranges to investigate | Compare on |
|---|---|---|
| G5S rigid cargo | Isuzu FX/FY, Hino 500/700, Fuso Fighter/Shogun, UD Croner/Quon, Volvo FM and DAF rigid configurations | Finished tare, body, axle loads, turning, transmission, service access and delivered price |
| G5S/G7S tipper or mixer | Application-specific Mack, Isuzu, Hino, Fuso, UD, Volvo, Scania and Mercedes-Benz configurations | PTO and body integration, site access, suspension, cooling, tyre wear, payload and support |
| G7S prime mover | UD Quon, Fuso Shogun, Volvo FM/FH, Mack Anthem/Trident, DAF, Scania, Mercedes-Benz and Kenworth | Route performance, fuel, tare, driver fit, workshop reach, warranty, downtime and resale |
| C9H 660hp prime mover | High-output Kenworth, Mack Super-Liner, Volvo FH, Scania and Mercedes-Benz prime movers | Gross mass and gradients, cooling, gearing, braking, fuel, driver retention and specialist support |
Positioning
What is SITRAK?
Configuration-led buying
A G5S 4x2 cargo truck and a G5S 8x4 mixer share a series name but do different work. Compare axle layout, body, tare estimate, GVM, GCM, engine output, transmission and route before comparing price.
Australian support
SITRAK Australia publishes national dealer and customer-support pathways. For Sydney and NSW, RUMBLE Auto in Arndell Park publicly identifies as an authorised SITRAK NSW dealer supporting sales, servicing, parts and fleet enquiries.
Evidence still developing
Specifications and warranty can be checked now; long-term Australian whole-of-life cost, resale and downtime evidence will develop as the local fleet grows. Buyers should request written support and parts arrangements.
Warranty and support
Published Australian warranty starting point
SITRAK Australia currently publishes a cab-and-chassis warranty of three years or 600,000km for prime movers and rigid trucks, with a driveline warranty of three years or 1,000,000km, whichever occurs first. Construction and off-road vehicles are listed with three years or 600,000km for both cab/chassis and driveline.
Warranty eligibility, exclusions, consumables, servicing requirements and the classification of a completed vehicle must be confirmed against the current policy and purchase contract.
