Description
2025 Kenworth T280 with Palfinger PHT22-M Hooklift
This isn't a spec truck. It's a finished machine — built by Smith Truck Body in Central Michigan with the same attention to detail we bring to every vocational upfit. Pull containers from day one and do it in style.
The Hooklift: The Palfinger PHT22-M brings 22,000 lbs of lift capacity with an adjustable 54"/62" arm width and compatibility with 12–16 ft containers (some states allow longer). It's one of the most versatile hooklifts in the under-CDL class — and it's paired with a chassis that keeps you out of CDL territory without sacrificing payload.
Powertrain: Cummins PX-9 — 360 HP | Allison 3000 RDS automatic transmission.The PX-9 gives you reliable mid-range torque purpose-built for vocational work, and the Allison 3000 RDS takes the guesswork out of shifting under load. It's the drivetrain spec that waste and roll-off operators reach for when they want to put miles on a truck without the headaches.
Built-In Intelligence: A Vulcan onboard scale with printer means you know your weight before you ever leave the yard — no guessing, no violations. Dual cameras (rear bumper and tarp gantry) feed a single in-dash monitor so you can see what's happening behind and above you without leaving the seat.
Load Management: The Roll-Rite DC203 automatic tarp system keeps your loads covered and your operation compliant. Two Protech toolboxes (36×24×24 and 48×24×24) handle the gear you need on every run.
The Finish: Metallic dark grey and metallic orange on the hoist, frame, and tarp system. Custom red, white, and blue underglow. This truck gets noticed — on the yard, on the road, and on the jobsite.
