Work Trucks Series
In the real world few things work as well—as reliably, as efficiently, as productively—as a Kenworth truck. Whether it's pulling 500 tons across the scorching deserts of Saudi Arabia. Hauling coal at air-starved altitudes in the Andes. Or operating in the frozen
north slope of Alaska where you never shut off the engine. It take confidence and decades of experience to custom build—and support—specialized trucks like these.
It also takes the most extensive list of factory-installed options in the industry: front axles to 40,000 lbs, rears to 120,000 lbs; pushers and tags; engines to 700 hp; double-inserted frames; front drive axles; tandem front axles, tridem rear drives; sheet metal hoods, brush guards and skid plates for severe service; front and rear engine-mounted PTOs and transmission mounted PTOs; tire size to 29.5 x 25.25.
And so much more. If you need a rugged-duty, all-business work truck you can count on, count on Kenworth. It's you high value—real world—solution.
With all the back-breaking experience Kenworths
have withstood the world over, you can bet this is the ideal truck for less-than-ideal conditions. Kenworth knows how to build trucks that can should maximum payload tare weight and move that burden with sure-footed confidence over steep, uneven, and slippery job sites. Your truck starts as a clean sheet of paper, its wheelbase custom tailored to your job and local regulations.
For those who need it, the 28-inch bumper setting of Kenworth's W900S produces a 36-foot bridge within a 40-foot overall length—satisfying even the most exacting weighmasters. You've got the latest high-horsepower engines available to you as well as the suspension, traction control and drive axle combinations you need to get as much of that power to the ground as possible. Pusher axles, hydraulic tanks, power take-offs, split fuel/hydraulic tanks, cast front tow hooks and personalized brightwork aren't a problem. All these options can be factory installed for a quality finished product that will move your business ahead.
Put a truck to work in the punishing, no-excuses business of hauling ready-mix concrete and it's only a matter of time before true quality shows through.
When the job calls for delivering more product per
load at the lowest possible cost, Kenworth's build-it-light-but-right approach pays off big with time—especially in transit mix operations. Just look at the cab on most other ten-year-old mixers, and you'll see what we mean. Legendary for its longevity and integrity, Kenworth's conventional cab combines aluminum and fiberglass in an assembly that's not
only lighter—contributing to higher payload—but practically corrosion-proof.
Inside, thanks to our proprietary QuietCab® sound barrier, a Kenworth is noticeably quieter—even when the unit is running full throttle. Order the optional Cabmate air suspension system, and you just won't believe you're driving in a mixer. Sure, it might cost a little more to buy a truck built this way. But the payoff is equipment designed to be more productive, less expensive to maintain and more satisfying to drive. Worth every cent.
There's just no better way to cut your heavy loads down to size. Kenworth custom-engineers trucks to pull heavy loads over punishing terrain. While you may never challenge 200 tons, even hauling your loader across town can be a real feat with the wrong truck. To achieve compatibility and peak performance, each drivetrain is computer analyzed well before it's assembled. Select from the latest high-horsepower engines, secure in the knowledge that Kenworth's 1,520 sq. in. cross flow radiator will keep them cool—especially critical when you're running full throttle at low speeds for extended periods. Kenworth offers a wide range of automatic transmissions and automated manual transmissions for smoother startability and easier shifting. Factory-installed auxiliary transmissions. Pusher axles. Tridem drives. Rear axles to 70,000 lbs (120,000 lbs and more on the C500). And GCWs to 600,000 lbs. So if you've got heavy loads to haul, rest easy. Your Kenworth can handle it.
Since the early 1920s, Kenworth has been known as the best truck to buy if you expect to take a beating and survive.
Kenworth has earned its legendary reputation for reliability, craftsmanship, comfort, and longevity in forests the world over. In fact, take a close look at
how Kenworth designs trucks for logging, and you'll know right away that Kenworth engineers have spent
a lot of time working with loggers.
Note the tough-yet-lightweight cab construction for durability and higher resale. The flat-glass windshield for quick, easy and inexpensive replacement. The highly adaptable free-fit bolt design that allows maximum frame articulation and flex. The heavy-duty rear crossmember for pintle hooks.
Then check out the long list of application-specific options that you can get factory installed for job-ready, right-the-first-time delivery: stinger-steered end-of-frame configurations, bunk mounting angles, central tire inflation, specialized suspension systems (including Kenworth's own AIRGLIDE 200), and enclosed gladhands and lightlines.
