The Terex Trucks Generation 10 TA400 is revealed to visitors at CONEXPO/CON-AGG 2017 in Las Vegas. And with confidence in the performance of its products, the Scotland-based manufacturer is also upping the ante with the launch of an extended warranty package. To ensure customers benefit from a low total cost of ownership, Terex Trucks will unveil its new 6,000-hour warranty on all Factory-Approved Terex Trucks parts.

“Listening to what customers want, Terex Trucks has made various progressive moves over the last few years to make certain the machines and products not only maximize uptime but also provide a significant return on investment,”says Paul Douglas, director and general manager at Terex Trucks.

The EU Stage IV/Tier-4 Final emissions-compliant machine is the new generation hauler that the Scotland-based company has produced. It offers durability and quality to ensure that customers benefit from lower operating costs and increased performance – even in the toughest of terrains. The 38-tonne capacity articulated hauler is also the first product to be launched by Terex Trucks since its acquisition by Volvo Construction Equipment.

Made in Motherwell, the Gen10 TA400, which is the largest in Terex Trucks’ articulated hauler family, features upgraded hydraulic and electrical interfaces, new drop box and improved aesthetics in order to maximize the uptime of the dump truck. To ensure productivity in all haul conditions, the Gen10 TA400’s engine and drivetrain have been optimally matched, utilizing automatic adaptive shifting and a pre-selected two-speed transfer box (drop box). Cushioned stops on the steering cylinders have been integrated to provide operators with a more comfortable ride, and the cab also features an enhanced air conditioning and ventilation system.

Terex Trucks understands the significant investment customers put into acquiring machines and the company is committed to offering the very best aftermarket support available to maximize operational output. To back this commitment, Terex Trucks will introduce a two-year or 6,000-hour warranty – whichever comes first – on all Factory-Approved parts. Designed with precision engineering to work in tandem with all other core components of the off-highway machines, the genuine parts are manufactured to achieve continuous optimum performance and a longer service life.

Versatility for arduous environments
Also on display at ConExpo/CON-AGG will be Terex Trucks’ proven performer, the TR60 rigid hauler. With a payload of 55 tonnes, the versatile dump truck is designed to haul through arduous environments. Fitted with the Cummins six-cylinder 19-litre engine that boasts gross power of 522 kW (700 hp) and maximum torque of 2,981 Nm, the TR60’s drivetrain gear reduction provides excellent rimpull, powering the rigid hauler up the steepest of gradients, while a high capacity haul body makes for low retention carry-back and cleaner dumping. A popular model, the TR60 offers solid performance in a wide range of hauling applications – from mining sites to large construction and earthmoving projects.
