Southaven, Mississippi-based Terex Construction, a business segment of Terex Corp., Westport, Connecticut, has equipped its compact wheel loaders with Tier 4 Final Deutz engines. Terex says its compact wheel loaders range from 50 horsepower to 101 horsepower and are built to excel in the most challenging applications, from general construction, earthmoving and agricultural work to specialized tasks such as landscaping, utility and municipal work. The company’s compact wheel loaders feature steering and hydrostatic drive systems, parallel kinematics and Terex Smart Control System.
Four models make up the Terex Tier 4 Final compact wheel loader family: The 50-horsepower TL65 unit offers bucket capacities from 0.65-1.31 cubic yards; the 60-horsepower TL80 has bucket capacities of 1.05-1.57 cubic yards; the 74-horsepower TL100 has bucket capacities ranging from 1.31-2.03 cubic yards; and the 101-horsepower TL120 model provides bucket capacities from 1.57-2.36 cubic yards. This range of models ensures that Terex has the right size of compact wheel loader to meet customers’ unique business needs, according to the company.
The articulated steering on Terex compact wheel loaders gives the machines a turning ability of up to a 40-degree angle, as well as helps the loader bucket maintain movement toward the material even at full steering angle, the company explains. This feature provides operators with increased flexibility when picking up or positioning loads, Terex says. The loaders’ oscillating rear axle design provides a 12-degree swing angle and keeps all four wheels in contact with the ground, which gives operators more ground pressure when pulling backward while operating on uneven terrain.
Terex says its compact wheel loaders use power where it is needed the most, resulting in responsive, demand-driven and intuitive operation with less fuel consumption. The closed-circuit hydrostatic drive provides a high power output per unit mass and has infinitely variable and step-less speed, according to Terex. In addition, up to 90 percent of the maximum torque is available at startup. This type of transmission, which replaces more traditional mechanical drive transmissions, provides high efficiency and economical output to reduce fuel consumption without sacrificing power. Terex compact wheel loaders also are equipped with a variable-flow hydraulic system that allows operators to perform several work cycles, such as lifting the bucket without slowing down the machine, Terex explains. Permanent all-wheel drive and an automatic limited slip differential in the front and rear axles for optimal traction when traveling and moving materials also come standard on the Terex units.
With parallel Kinematics as standard across the Terex compact wheel loader range, operators can lift loads to height without constant readjustment of the load angle. Terex says this allows operators to focus on accurate load placement, while increasing work cycle times for loading and unloading in the second row of the truck.
Further, the company says efficiency gains come from the Terex Smart Control operating system, which makes it easier for the operator to configure the machine to an application. Similar to menu guides on smartphones, operating the Terex Smart Control system is intuitive. Within the cab a new dashboard display provides a better at-a-glance of machine operation information, while the multifunction joystick comes with an electroproportional control circuit and a slow/fast key for handling. Automatic power shift and Terex fingertip controls help to further simplify operation for drivers, allowing them to concentrate more on the task at hand, Terex says.
A full range of attachments are available for use with Terex compact wheel loaders, including buckets, rippers, fork lifts, load hooks, object handling, sweeper, snow blades and salt spreaders. Terex offers a quick-attach system on its compact wheel loaders, allowing these machines to be quickly adapted to work in a wide variety of applications.
