Supreme performance, comfort and safety come together in the C509, one of the most durable trucks on or off the road.
Unrivalled power and presence
When power and reliability are the only way to deliver your load, the C509 has proven itself in the roughest and toughest environments. Whether you’re a small outback outfit or the largest of mining companies, the C509 will meet your operational needs, the conditions you work in, and the exacting schedules you demand.
Exclusively yours
Your home away from home, the C509 is designed to be spacious with room for all your creature comforts. With a range of options for all the important interior features, this truck will be uniquely yours.
Unbreakable heavy hauler
When you’re on your own in the middle of nowhere, you need to know you’re safe. With a comprehensive suite of safety features specifically designed for the Kenworth driver in mind, you are prepared for any journey.
Rugged durability
The Australian Outback has the harshest and most remote operating conditions on the planet, and in this environment, you cannot take risks. Built to withstand anything, the C509 sets the standard for durability and reliability.
The benchmark
With a traditional full-length bonnet, the C509 features a straight front frame, enabling room for a large radiator and long-range high-performance engine. Available in 6×4 and 8×6 configurations and a variety of sleeper options, the C509 has higher capacity front axles, steering and suspension for the most arduous road conditions.
The ultra heavy-duty expert
Built for punishing off-highway work, the C509 is designed to tackle 350-plus tonne loads, and temperatures higher than 50 degrees Celsius, muddy tracks, corrugated roads, and often unfavourable conditions. Optimised for routine maintenance schedules, as well as remote servicing where parts are scarce, it is engineered to be rugged and designed to be simple.
With features primarily designed to provide years of trouble-free service, the C509 can be configured for very high GCM in mining and off-road applications including remote road train, heavy haulage and mine service operations.
