The new Kenworth 40-in. sleeper for the Kenworth T880 and T680 has entered production. Applications that the 40-in. sleeper is suited for, according to Kenworth, include regional bulk haulers, vocational applications that use straight trucks, and open-deck or flatbed operations where length and weight is a factor.
“The 40-in. sleeper offers drivers organizational features to make the space as efficient as possible for those who occasionally stay overnight,” said Jason Skoog, Kenworth’s assistant general manager for sales and marketing. “The layout provides excellent flexibility and choice in meeting the operational needs of truck fleets and operators. In addition, it’s 260 lbs. lighter than the Kenworth 52-in. regional sleeper offering important weight savings for additional payload.”
The new 40-in. sleeper features a 24-in. wide by 75-in. long liftable bunk that can be tilted up to 90 degrees for easy access to under-bunk storage. It offers a cell phone cubby, hooks specifically designed to hold hard hats as well as coats, and two standard toolbox doors. Fleets and truck operators may specify the Diamond VIT or Vantage interior. It can be ordered now.
