Terex is introducing the newest product to its line of articulated trucks: the Terex TA300. The vehicle delivers rugged and reliable productivity. The company claims that the TA300, which replaces the TA30, is the only 30-ton hauler that comes standard with a fully independent front suspension (IFS) system.
“Everything about the new TA300 has been carefully considered to increase productivity levels and enhance operator comfort,” says Ken Emmett, product manager, Terex Construction Americas. “From the new ergonomic cab and oil-cooled disc brakes — to the standard independent front suspension system, exceptional fuel economy and highest torque and power in its class, it’s all designed with our customers’ needs in mind.”
The TA300 includes a 385-hp, Tier 3-compliant Cummins diesel engine, a ZF fully automatic with manual override transmission and a maximum torque of 1,309 lb ft at 1,400 rpm. The performance, coupled with the 100 percent differential locking action, enables the TA300 to tackle the most challenging grades and extreme site conditions with ease.
The 22.9-yd3 capacity body can be tailored to maximize production and durability through options such as liner plates, side extensions and a tailgate. “With a maximum payload of 30 tons and a body dump cycle time of 20 seconds,” says Emmett, “customers will benefit from low cost-per-ton per hour when moving material.”
