C O M O c t o b e r 2 0 1 6 | T R U C K P A R T S & S E R V I C E Kenworth has introduced its T880 with a set-forward front axle confi guration. The new confi guration, named the T880S, is especially designed for fl eet and truck operators in ready-mix, dump and mobile crane applications where every incremental pound of payload delivered contributes directly to the bottom line, and excellent maneuverability and visibility are valued. "The new T880S advances Kenworth's heritage of pro- viding fl eets and truck operators with industry-leading, rugged and reliable vocational trucks that deliver excel- lent performance," says Jason Skoog, Kenworth assistant general manager for sales and marketing. Kenworth debuts new T880 axle confi guration Off The Line Spotlighting a new OEM innovation LED warning lamps Optronics International introduc- es a new family of LED directional warning lamps. The nine white and amber lamps are designed for work trucks and service vehicles. Optronics says the lamps feature sonically welded, watertight polycarbonate lenses and a solid-state surface-mount design that help guard against moisture, particulate ingress, shock and vibra- tion. They also feature 12 sync-capable fl ash patterns. Fiber braid hydraulic hose Gates Corp. says its Fiber Braid Lock-On Hose (5LOC) is now available in 300 ft. bulk reel and 50 ft. packaging. According to the company, this fi ber braid reinforced hose is ideal for petroleum-based hydraulic oils, glycol antifreeze com- pounds, water, engine lubricating oils and air. It has an oil and mildew resistant cover, a 300-psi working pressure and meets specifi c performance requirements for fuel and B20 biodiesel fuel transfer applications up to 125°F, the company says. Engine series replacement parts IPD has launched a new line of replacement parts for Caterpillar C18 engine applications. IPD says piston and liner kits for C18 engines are now avail- able for a variety of markets and applications, and IPD also offers a full range of C-Series engine kits, from C7 through C32. IPD continues to expand the IPD brand of replacement parts for both old and new Caterpillar applications. Spin-on oil fi lter HUBB has introduced a new 8-in. spin-on oil fi lter to its fi lter portfolio, which is designed for use on Class 2 through 6 light- and medium-duty diesel engines. The fi lter features the same patented fi lter-in-fi lter design as its 3-in. fi lter and is made with surgical stainless steel weave fi ltering media and two pressure differential values. It is backed with an industry fi rst 100,000-mile performance guarantee. Refi ned lubrication fi lter Cummins Filtration has further refi ned its Fleetguard LF14000NN combina- tion lube fi lter for the arrival of newer engine platforms including Cummins X15 engines. According to Cummins, the new Fleetguard LF14000NN uses a state-of- the-art co-bonding lamination process that pairs NanoNet and StrataPore media together to create a single fi lter element. Single-source electrical port Purkeys has developed Dual Shield, which provides a single source with multiple protected ports for electrical devices. It gives vehicles two levels of protection to help counteract parasitic loads from these electrical systems: a low voltage disconnect (LVD) and a timed disconnect. Purkeys says this handy electrical accessory also simplifi es adding necessary electrical devices to heavy- duty vehicles by providing a centralized, protected location for technicians to connect these supplementary devices.
