KIRKLAND, Wash. – Kenworth Truck Company now offers a new 13,200-lb. steerable lift axle on selected Kenworth Class 8 vocational truck models for dump, mixer, heavy haul, logging and other vocational applications.

The Watson & Chalin Tru-Track Alumilite steerable lift axle is designed to provide greater payload capacity, reducing tare weight by nearly 150 lbs compared to the company’s previous Tru-Track models, and extended life bushings help make the lift axle more durable.

Other key features include a quick change ride height system with ride heights of seven inches to 18 inches, 13-1/2-inch axle travel, up to 11-inch axle lift, pre-loaded locking fasteners, parallelogram design, and a five-year warranty.
