New TA300 articulated dumptruck unveiled
TEREX have unveiled their new 30-tonne class TA300 articulated dumptruck, which has been introduced as a replacement for the earlier TA30 model.
According to Terex, the TA300 is the only hauler in 30-tonne market that has fully independent front suspension (IFS) as standard. The IFS system provides a smooth ride when travelling over severe terrain, making the vehicle easier to handle and increasing productivity.
The TA300 is also said to provide the highest power and torque (287kW and 1,775Nm respectively) in the 30-tonne ADT class. This performance, coupled with the 100% differential locking action, allows the TA300 to tackle the most challenging grades and extreme site conditions with ease.
The 17.5 cu m capacity body also among the largest in the 30-tonne class can be tailored to maximize production and durability through options such as liner plates, side extensions and a tailgate. The body offers a maximum payload is 28 tonnes and has a body dump cycle time of 20s.
Another important feature of the TA300 is the oil-cooled multiple-disc brakes on each axle, which provide extended brake component life, reduce service intervals and operating costs, and improve overall braking performance in comparison to traditional dry-disc brake systems. Service brake life is further increased by the use of a Jacobs compression-release engine brake for retardation, while a hydraulic transmission retarder is available as an option.
For improved operator comfort and control, the TA300 has a new, ergonomically designed cab, with control positions and instrument groupings arranged according to operator feedback. The cab also benefits from reduced interior noise levels, an improved steering wheel, more effective air-conditioning, a high-quality sound system, and new mirrors.
Maintenance has also been simplified on the TA300, thanks to the wide opening angle of the hood, ground-level access to major components and wide service platforms on both sides of the engine.
