She’s ideally suited to Steerable Platform and Low Loader combinations and will tow our 7×8 Steerable Platform Trailer to start with.

The Kenworth K200 cab-over is all about safety and driver comfort. “The more comfortable the driver, the greater the level of concentration,” Kenworth says.

SMC Heavy Haulage is absolutely committed to getting the job done safely. That’s why we keep a fleet of the latest model trucks and trailers that come with some of the best safety solutions available today.

Kenworth is at the forefront of innovative safety engineering and because they’re Australian, their trucks are built to handle the tough long-haul conditions only this country can throw at you.

These are just some of the safety features that come with our new SMK200 Kenworth K200:

• Kenworth Electronic Brake Safety System (EBSS)
• Amazing visibility thanks to the large 2 piece windscreen which makes for excellent forward visibility and a door design that gives the driver the best field of vision on both sides
• A wide, long top step and appropriate grab rails make cab access easier and safer
• Drag Torque Control (DTC) raises revs to prevent compression locking on slippery surfaces
• Automatic Traction Control (ATC) stops wheel spin in low traction
• The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) senses steering angle, yaw, suspension pressure and brake application pressure and uses individual wheel brakes or reduces engine torque where needed to keep the actual vehicle movement in line with the intended vehicle movement
• Trailer Response Management (TRM) is available for EBS compatible trailers and can help reduce stopping distances with electronic trailer braking
• Active Cruise with Brakes (ACB) helps avoid accidents by engaging the engine and wheel braking systems when the truck is too close to other vehicles.

See why a Kenworth is one of the safest trucks on the road

Better over the long haul

To make the K200 a pleasure to drive, they’ve loaded it with plenty of creature comforts like an awesome, easy-access sleeper, a wrap-around instrument panel that puts everything in easy reach and “Smart Wheel’ controls on the steering wheel enable the driver to manage the engine brake and cruise control functions with the touch of a button.

The cab also offers plenty of storage space including handy spots for personal items as well as enough space under the bunk to fit two 30 litre fridges or more storage.

In heavy haulage, when you’re travelling thousands of kilometres, some of the best features are the ones you enjoy when you stop driving. Things like being able to stand up and walk around.  With the SMK200 Kenworth K200, the low engine tunnel means the Aerodyne cab floor is nearly flat when the truck is stationary and a 6 foot driver can easily stand up and move around inside. Plus, the gear lever can be folded away for even more space.

The SMC Heavy Haulage fleet of current model trucks and trailers are the workhorses that can take overmass and oversize loads anywhere in Australia. With a reputation for getting the job done safely, we understand the specialist requirements involved with heavy haulage and can provide a full end-to-end service for your next oversize load.
