BUILT TO BUILD!
30 T load capacity
Operating under the most severe working conditions, carrying maximum loads with optimal mobility while remaining economical and offering genuine driving comfort.
The Renault Kerax range is available with five new Euro 5 engines offering an excellent compromise between torque at low engine speeds and economical fuel consumption. Its new drive axles and double reduction tandems make it ideally suited to both on-road and off-road applications. The chassis’ load capacity is increased by interior reinforcement and a new higher quality of steel. The new manual or automated gearboxes enhance driving comfort and optimise fuel consumption.
Factory pre-fitted chassis
The chassis, assembled by bolting and riveting, is straight and smooth throughout its entire usable length and features pre-drilled side members, a specific overhang for each application, fixing with brackets and / or plates, plus pre-fittings for various items of equipment (crane, etc). Making Renault Kerax a vehicle on which bodies can be mounted easily and quickly.
90° door opening!
The Renault Kerax driving position has been designed to make working more comfortable and life on board easier. The ergonomic dashboard is both functional and practical. All the main controls are within the driver’s field of vision and easy reach.
New cab colour schemes contribute to creating a pleasant atmosphere.
Renault Kerax is fitted with a wide windscreen giving the driver a broad, unobstructed view. Its side rear windows further extend the field of view by 30°. All of which bring added safety to a vehicle which has to operate on worksites with large numbers of workers on the ground.
Available in Day, Global or Sleeper versions, the Renault Kerax cab is made very easy to access by its 90° opening doors with grab handles on either side and well-lit steps.
Climbing into and out of the cab is made easy by three anti-slip steps, including one fold up step in form memory material.
385 mm ground clearence
With Optifuel Solutions, Renault Trucks brings you the most efficient technologies and services designed to reduce fuel consumption. These include optimised powertrains, the Optidriver+ automated gearbox, SCR solution, Optifuel Training, for economical driving and Optifuel Infomax.
With five new Euro 5 compliant engines, the Renault Kerax range makes its power and torque offering even more comprehensive. The DXi11 engine is now available with power ratings of 380, 430 and 460 hp.
Designed to provide high power ratings and torques, these new engines deliver maximum torque between 950 and 1,400 rpm, guaranteeing superior mobility on the most difficult worksites.
Renault Kerax gives you the choice of a new ZF Ecosplit 4 to 16 speed gearbox, offering the most appropriate combination of engine torque and mobility, or the Optidriver+ automated gearbox, ideally suited to off-road working and capable of operating in automatic mode in more than 90% of situations.
With their high torques at low engine power, the Renault Kerax DXi engines preserve the powertrain’s robustness while at the same time keeping fuel consumption in check and contributing to lower vehicle operating and maintenance costs.
Its 385 mm ground clearance under the front axle sets the Renault Kerax ahead of all its competitors in this field. Associated with remarkable pulling power under all circumstances, this gives the Renault Kerax outstanding ground clearance capacity over rough terrain.
The Renault Kerax range is available in all the configurations demanded by the construction industry (4x2, 4x4, 6x4, 6x6 and 8x4). It also offers all pre-equipment requirements specifically designed for building activities.
Built to perform!
A range of cabs adapted to the needs of construction activities:
DXi11 Euro 5.
New gearboxes for an optimal combination of payload, lower consumption and smooth driving. Four 16 speed manual gearboxes and two automated 12 speed gearboxes.
3 systems making it possible to increase gear shift smoothness on manual gearboxes :
To switch from one range of gears to another, the driver simply has to activate the press button on the gearshift lever handle.
The electrovalve protects the system from driver errors when shifting gears.
The gearbox splitter syncro protection prevents inadvertent shifting from a high to a low range of gears. Gear selection is accurate, swift (with short selection travel) and secured (electrovalve).
The Optidriver+ gearboxes are particularly suitable for worksite supply and on-site applications.
A wide choice of PTOs are available, electronically controlled for greater reliability and safety :
Solo drive axles :
Tandem drive axles :
Axle :
1 E93 front axle with 0 mm offset.
Renault Trucks displays innovation with its electronically controlled air management system, Air Product Management. This system offers greater safety, as well as savings in weight, fuel consumption and maintenance:
Renault Kerax is fitted with drum brakes and the latest generation Electronic Braking System (EBS 5) as standard.
This is an electronically controlled air braking system which adapts vehicle braking wheel by wheel according to road grip conditions.
EBS Basic+
Braking system coupling
Renault Trucks offers the possibility of coupling different braking systems: service brakes and retarders.
This system is controlled by the EBS (Electronic Braking System) or manually by depressing the brake pedal :
Front and rear suspension (normal or reinforced) with shock absorbers and antiroll bar.
Parabolic front suspension with a capacity of 7.1t (tractor), 8t and 9t.
Parabolic rear suspension with a capacity of 13 or 15t for a drive axle. Rear suspension with a capacity of 26t (parabolic) and 32t (semielliptical) for tandems.
Maintenance frequency is adjusted to vehicle usage by means of an engine oil use analysis system.
Maintenance assistance provided by rapid breakdown diagnosis and a predictive display of maintenance and oil drain frequency.
The gearboxes: oil drain frequency maximum of 90,000 to 400,000 km depending on oil quality and type of application.
Rear drive axles and tandems: maximum oil drain frequency of 120,000 to 400,000 km depending on oil quality and type of application.
