The ZT96A features an extremely robust chassis constructed from a double-layer frame (10+10mm) made of superimposed groove-shaped bending plates. It incorporates five crossbeams for additional support. The use of high-grade 610L material ensures superior performance in terms of forming technology, adaptation to deformation design, and overall structural reliability, making the frame exceptionally durable for heavy-duty mining applications.

The truck utilizes a reliable suspension setup to ensure stability and wheel alignment. The front suspension is an independent leaf spring system. Both the middle and rear suspensions also adopt the leaf spring system. This configuration significantly enhances wheel alignment parameter stability, improves running stability during operation, and contributes to the overall reliability of the system, which is crucial for maneuvering heavy loads on rough mining terrain.

The vehicle is driven by an advanced engine with an output power equivalent to 480 Ps (353 kW). This system is designed for high-efficiency and fuel-saving performance. Its reliability is ensured through the use of a three-stage oil bath air filter and a three-stage fuel filter. Furthermore, the inclusion of an imported air fan ensures excellent thermal equilibrium, and the use of a split radiator enhances anti-seismic performance while simplifying maintenance procedures.
