New Zealand’s first new Kenworth T420 seems to have a numerically appropriate job description. It’s busy shuttling 40s and 20s around the Napier and Hastings road network.

Everfresh Transport from Twyford put the new T420 8x4 Day Cab to work in April as the third container swinglift unit in its fleet of more than 40 trucks.

With a steadily increasing container workload at Everfresh, the T420 Day Cab joins a 2022 T410 in a similar spec and the original Freightliner Century 6x4 which got the company into swinglift work. The Freightliner remains a nimble 6-axle combination for locations with tighter access while the Kenworth duo handle the heavier lifts as 8-axle units.
