  • These Massive 1000 horsepower Kenworth C510s at Burton Downs Mine are specifically designed for off-highway use and rated up to 250 tonne. They’re powered by Cummins’ 19-litre QSK-19 engine which complies with Australian on-highway emission requirements (ADR80). Designed primarily for high-end road train applications, the big-bore Cummins engine provides superior levels of durability and reliability than is currently available from smaller cubic capacity engines.

    The engine delivers 606 hp (447 kW) at 2100 rpm, with peak torque of 1950 lb ft (2644 Nm) at 1300 rpm. Other key components include an 18-speed Fuller RTLO-22918B transmission, with a first gear ratio of 14.4:1 through to 0.73:1 in overdrive. Rear axles are Axle Tech STRC-1297 hub reduction (they’re the old Rockwell off-road model) with a final ratio of 9.59:1. The front axle is Rockwell FL941 rated at 9.1 tonne and the 295 mm deep chassis which has a far thicker web and flange than its highway cousins and features a full length double frame.
    These power trailer units have a Smith built body on the power-trans chassis (they’re the company who built the power trailer unit) and they’re fitted with either Cummins ISX or Signature engines rated at 450 and 500 horsepower. They are coupled to an Allison automatic transmission and tri-drive SISU hub reduction axles.
    The control of these trailers is via both a cab mounted hand throttle and married to the accelerator pedal. The advantage of this for instance is when the unit is climbing a hill the trailer can be set at full throttle and when the driver changes gear in the Kenworth C510 there is minimal road speed loss as the trailer is still pushing the unit.

    I'm a railroad locomotive type of guy but I must say, this is awesome. Trains are flatland creatures but it looks like these machines can handle hills just fine. Often saw three trailer cattle roadtrains going north when I lived in The Alice, but five was from a bygone era, plus they're lighter too, so nothing compared to this machine. Nicely done.

    'Trailers built by Smiths of Gympie'. When I was an electrical apprentice with Noel Andrews in Gympie in 1970 we did Smiths electrical work. Their 'factory' was basically a corrugated iron roof down the side of a hill. We used to joke that if they had flat ground to build a truck body on it'd be crooked. They turned out lovely stuff, they got flooded 2 or 3 times a year and Jimmy Smith was the best bloke you'd ever hope to meet. I was working in Gunpowder about 1975 and GCL was using Smiths side tippers. Great that they've moved on and up.

      Now please don't ask me what does EINKI SINKI mean. It might just floor you or you may find it very offensive. But it is comical as far as we BLACK people who went back to Africa are concerned. Yes I was taken to Africa when I was a child during the early 50s. The experience in Africa is the reason why I don't believe in everything that the media is saying about Africa. I was blessed to have the opportunity to attend the GREAT LIBRARIES OF TIMBUKTU, and study the various manuscripts and carvings in the mountains and caves in Africa. I even met the Emperor of Ethiopia in 1957.
      I strongly suggest that you take the time to visit LIBRARIES OF TIMBUKTU before it is completely destroyed.

      Actually, it would be either 1056 or 1106hp.... he said the QSK 19 was spec'd at 606hp, and the pusher was rated at either 450 or 500hp depending on whether it was the standard ISX or the Signature version of the ISX.... which I don't understand, as the Signature version of the ISX was rated at 605hp with 2,050 ft lbs of torque, here in the states for Over The Road (OTR) trucks/Semis with the Owner Operator package from KW, Pete & Western Star.

    Saw the road trains in northern territory a few decades ago. Very imposing. Iirc they were limited to three trailers then. Perhaps others more familiar can confirm or deny if this was they case. I also saw the kenworths in action out in the deserts of Saudi Arabia years ago, running out to the rigs. It was amazing that something so large could just seemingly float over the soft sand that much smaller vehicles struggled with. Its all in the tyres.

      Lots of different trucks can be "powerful".... just depends on how they are powered and overall gearing. Gearing is Everything... you can make a "weak" engine pull a mountain off of its foundation with the right gearing (a "slow" Transmission with High Ratio (slow) rears.... and you can make a "strong" engine pull like a sick dog, with the wrong gearing... ie: too low of a ratio in the rears, and "fast" transmission.

    you didn't loose me. get a red and white spring with a size 5 button for your ntc engine, set timing at very advance to get more air in the chambers and you got a power producing eng
