Sleator Plant, Terex Trucks’ dealer in Northern Ireland, showcased the recently upgraded 28-tonne (30.9 ton) hauler on their stand. The updated machine incorporates a new transmission that leads to a 5 % improvement in fuel efficiency. It allows operators to be more productive, achieving faster cycle times, lower cost per tonne and reduced carbon emissions.

Since August 2018, the TA300 has incorporated a new transmission. The updated machine now delivers a 5 % improvement in fuel efficiency, a 5 km/h (3.1 m/h) increase in speed to 55 km/h (34 m/h), an extended maintenance period and enhanced performance when compared with the previous model. All of this means that customers can be more productive, achieving faster cycle times, lower cost per tonne and reduced carbon emissions.

The TA300’s new transmission comes with eight forward gears as well as four reverse gears, higher overall gear ratio spread, equal ratio steps between gears, and optimized gear shifting with partial load shifts. These features mean that the upgraded TA300 offers lower fuel consumption with smoother gear shifting and thereby higher levels of operator comfort. The TA300 also now comes with long life transmission fluid, increasing the length of time between oil maintenance intervals from 1000 to 4000 hours.
Terex Trucks also manufactures the TA400, a 38-tonne (41.9 ton) articulated hauler which is used for hauling excavated rock, moving processed materials and removing overburden. Due to its ability to effectively traverse established haul roads quickly, even in adverse conditions, the TA400 is the ideal hauling solution for customers who need even more power and capacity.
