Kenworth is also now offering Watson & Chalin’s new 20,000-lb. Tru-Track steerable lift axle on Kenworth T800, W900, and C500 models for vocational applications.

“The 20K steerable pusher enables truck operators to keep weight down and increase payload capacity,” said Steve Gilligan, Kenworth general marketing manager. “Customers can also benefit from the reduced stress on the frame and chassis, as well as reduced tire scrubbing, provided by a steerable lift axle suspension.”
