Kenworth, Papé Kenworth, and Alliance Concrete Pumps have combined efforts to support the Concrete Industry Management program by donating a Kenworth T280 concrete pump truck. The annual CIM auction will be held during World of Concrete, January 24, between 1 – 2 p.m. Pacific Standard Time in N262.
All proceeds from the sale of the truck will be donated to the CIM program that awards scholarships to students pursuing four-year Bachelor of Science degrees in Concrete Industry Management at Middle Tennessee State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Texas State University, California State University – Chico, and South Dakota State University.
About the Truck
The Kenworth T280 features the PACCAR PX-7 engine rated at 260-hp and 660 lb.-ft. of torque with a truck-mounted Alliance Concrete Pumps JMP-60 line pump. Other contributing suppliers for this truck include Alcoa Wheels, Goodyear Tires, and Allison Transmission. The T280 concrete pump does not require a CDL to operate, making it a versatile and convenient option.
“Our JMP-60 line pump is truly a do-it-all machine,” says Clayton White, Alliance Concrete Pumps president and CEO. “The JMP-60 is one of our top-selling products, and we are excited to once again team up with Kenworth and Papé Kenworth to pair this machine with the T280, which should appeal to a wide range of concrete contractors and generate a nice donation to support CIM.”
“The CIM education program is key to developing future leaders in the concrete industry,” says Kyle Kimball, Kenworth director of marketing. “The company that places the winning bid will receive an excellent truck to add to their operation while supporting a great program.”
This year marks the fifth time Kenworth has partnered with industry suppliers and Kenworth dealers to donate a Kenworth truck for the CIM auction. For the past two CIM auctions in 2022 and 2023, Kenworth, Papé Kenworth, and Alliance Concrete Pumps provided Kenworth T880 concrete pump trucks, resulting in more than $1 million donated to CIM.
