Light weight mixer trucks have PAYSTAR name

In the late 1970s, International’s severe service trucks and tractors were introduced under the PAYSTAR name to fit with the company’s line of Transtar, Fleetstar, Loadstar, and Cargostar trucks. Known for its legendary performance, the PAYSTAR was used all over the world for decades. Many customers associated the PAYSTAR name with the personality of the International trucks. Several of International’s most respected severe service vehicles carried the Paystar moniker until 1998, when they were renamed the 5000 Series, which included the International 5500, 5600, and 5900 trucks. “We have a number of customers who still refer to our 5000 Series trucks as PAYSTAR long after we removed the badging,” said Bill Sixsmith, director of marketing for International’s severe service vehicle centre. “The International PAYSTAR name is what the customers want to see on the sides of their trucks. It also ties in to International’s operating company name of Navistar.” PAYSTAR will now be the brand name for all International 5000 Series trucks.
The new International PAYSTAR lightweight mixers feature a lighter weight design to haul more payload and still meet bridge formula limits.
The lighter weight comes primarily from a new engine offering, the Cummins ISL with 330 hp. The lightweight design and 12-inch frame allows customers to haul 10 yards of concrete legally (a 7.5 percent payload increase over the previous design) for the PAYSTAR 5500 model. For the PAYSTAR 5600 model, 11 yards can legally be carried (a 6.8 percent increase in payload capacity).
Other weight-saving features include a McNeilus Revolution Barrel that weighs approximately 2,000 pounds less than other types of barrels. The PAYSTAR also features aluminum wheels and hubs and a centrifuge drum to keep the overall weight of the truck low.
