Project background
Commercial, customs and shipment records identify one Dongfeng SCS5165TQZ3 tow truck for Peru. Its September 2025 export declaration records shipment to the Port of Callao.
The recorded truck has a 3,950 mm wheelbase and a Cummins engine. Its platform is listed at 5 tons, with a separate 4-ton traction winch. Each value applies to that component; the platform load does not rate every recovery function.
Record scope
The available record covers export and shipment. It does not document arrival, local registration or commissioning.

Specifying a similar recovery vehicle
Use these points for a new specification. The original buyer's reasons for choosing this configuration are not documented here.
Access and axle loads
The 3,950 mm wheelbase is only part of the route-access check. Finished dimensions and turning requirements matter too. Assess the casualty vehicle with its loaded axle distribution before deciding whether this layout is suitable.
A 5 t platform
The 5 t entry applies to the platform. A vehicle still needs to fit the deck and clear it during loading, so compare deck length and loading angle with the vehicles you intend to carry. Their position on the deck also matters. Legal payload needs a separate check against the completed vehicle and destination rules.
The separate winch rating
The winch is listed at 4 t traction. A new specification needs the winch model and rope, with the conditions for that line pull. Identify the fairlead and working positions; specify lighting and restraints separately.
Suitable work
Platform-based transport with a separately specified winch, subject to the target vehicle dimensions and loading geometry.
Reasons to revise the specification
Heavier or low-clearance vehicles, greater winch demand, or different emissions and dimension requirements can change the chassis and body.

|---|---|---|---|
| Platform | Supported vehicle and load distribution | Vehicle mass, wheelbase and clearance | Controlled deck drawing and rating |
| Chassis | Axle loading and route access | Operating route, turning space and target load | Completed dimensions and axle-load calculation |
| Winch / tow equipment | Pull or supported load under stated conditions | Required function, geometry and working positions | Component specifications and operating limits |
| Equipment | Fit, restraint and electrical interfaces | Attachments, work lights and accessory quantities | Signed installed-equipment list |
| Destination | Import and road-use acceptance | Importer requirements and destination checklist | Document and registration responsibility list |

Prepare a new order
We need to check component availability and the equipment package again for a new order. The new quotation and signed specification determine the supply. This project record is not a standing offer or approval for use at the destination.
Understanding the recorded specification
- Does the 5-ton platform entry mean legal payload in Peru?
- No. It is a recorded platform-load value, not a universal towing rating or road-use approval. Legal payload depends on the completed vehicle, axle limits and the applicable destination acceptance process.
