The International brand has a new vehicle to drive construction customer profits over the life of the product: the International 5000i integrated dump truck, a concurrently engineered, assembled, marketed, sold and supported dump truck.

This purchase can be made now at select International dealerships in West Virginia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia just in time for the busy construction season that makes or breaks construction businesses.

Ownership of a new International 5000i integrated dump truck means customers partner with an organization that understands the construction business. Owners of the new product benefit from:

• 60-day order-to-delivery ... means customers get the hauling productivity benefits of the truck fast. Customers do not have to plan the typical six to eight months ahead to get their completed dump truck.

• Concurrently designed, engineered and assembled trucks mean the chassis, dump body, hydraulic components and controls are built as a complete product, increasing reliability and durability.

• One-stop financing, purchase, parts, maintenance and warranty for the complete truck at the International dealer. This means customers save time and can get back to business quickly to improve productivity with their new International.

“No longer will a customer have to buy the chassis at a dealership, buy the body somewhere else and get the product serviced from these two different organizations,” said Steve Keate, president, Truck Group, International. “And they’ll have this truck working for them faster through 60-day order-to-delivery, getting the truck working for construction businesses during the season when the money is there to be made.”

Additional features of the International 5000i integrated dump truck include:

• Available in 5600i model with set back front axle for optimum maneuverability.

• Available in 5500i model with a 71-centimeter (28 in.) bumper-to-axle setting for increased bridge formula payload.

• Aluminum cabs insulated for enhanced temperature control and noise reduction. And high roof, maximum cab space and seat to steering wheel adjustment means drivers are comfortable.

• Rigid and steerable third axle and quad axle configurations available for optimum load ability.

• Steel dump bodies from 4.5 to 5.3 meters (15 to 17.5 ft.) with 61-centimeter (24 in.) cab shield and 25-centimeter (10 in.) dump aprons for increased durability.
