35 AGGREGATES MANAGER / April 2017 by Therese Dunphy | Editor-in-Chief | tdunphy@randallreilly.com SUPPLYLINES Moving Material to Market Transport aggregates from your site to your customer more economically with trucks that boast better payloads and fuel efficiency. The new Kenworth T880S with set-forward axle configuration is designed for fleet and truck operators in ready-mix and dump appli- cations where every incremental pound of payload delivered contrib- utes directly to the bottom line, and maneuverability and visibility are valued. The T880S is available with a set-forward front axle ranging from 14,600 pounds to 22,800 pounds. Single-, tandem-, or tridem-drive axles and a wide variety of factory-installed lift axles, are among a range of options available to meet the most demanding site requirements. The T880S is standard with the PACCAR MX-13 engine with up to 510-horsepower and 1,850 foot-pounds of torque. For weight-sensitive applications, the 10.8-liter PACCAR MX-11 engine saves 400 pounds compared to a 13-liter engine, and is said to offer an impressive power to weight ratio and provide low fuel consumption. Kenworth | www.kenworth.com Peterbilt says its Model 567 SFFA is the industry's leading set-forward front-axle vehicle and features its distinctive styling. The SFFA configuration is said to optimize weight distri- bution to maximize customer payloads while meeting state and federal bridge law require- ments, making it well-suited for weight-conscious applications. The SFFA configuration joins Peterbilt's Model 567 set-back front axle, the company's vocational truck and tractor that touts its maneuverability and versatility. Like the set-back axle version, the Model 567 SFFA is available in both 115- and 121-inch BBC lengths. The truck features a standard Metton hood, which is highly resilient and can absorb many impacts that would shatter or crack other materials, and the company's signature stainless-steel oval mesh grille and surround. It can be spec'd with a wide range of options to meet most jobsite requirements. Peterbilt | www.peterbilt.com Built on Bendix's ESP Electronic Stability Program full-stability system, Wingman Fusion integrates a suite of Bendix safety technologies — radar, camera, and the vehicle's brake system — into a comprehensive driver assistance system. Unlike radar-only systems, it combines and cross-checks information from multiple sources to deliver enhanced rear-end collision mitigation, lane departure warning, overspeed alerts and action, and braking on stationary vehicles. Because these technologies are working together, not just in parallel, the system is said to realize events sooner — alerting the driver and decreasing the vehicle's speed up to twice as much — to help the driver mitigate potential col- lisions or lessen their severity. The ability to cross-check information results in fewer false alerts or interventions than radar-only systems.
