Cummins LK375 33 · 12-speed FAST · DF300H 22 t hub-reduction axle 5.92 · 5,600 mm body
The K23Y is the workhorse of African construction and mining sites: a 54 t permitted gross weight, hub-reduction drive axles and a reinforced 300 mm frame give it reserve capacity well beyond its class, while more than 700 mm of bumper clearance keeps it out of trouble in deep-site conditions.
