The TA400 articulated hauler has a 38-tonne maximum payload

Terex Trucks is unveiling the TA400, its biggest articulated hauler which is designed to meet the demands of the most extreme operations.

The machine has a maximum payload of 38 tonnes and is intended to deliver cost-effective production at large-scale construction projects, quarries and mines.

The TA400 has a heaped capacity of 23m3 and is powered by a fuel-efficient Scania DC13 engine that develops gross power of 331kW and a maximum torque of 2,255Nm. Terex Trucks says its fuel-efficient engine range is globally emissions-compliant and meets the requirements of EU and North American legislation without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This is achieved via the latest generation selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, combined with exhaust gas regeneration (EGR) and a variable geometry turbo (VGT).

Other features of the TA400 include an effective power-to-weight ratio, which is designed to ensure material is moved as quickly as possible in all conditions, in addition to cooled multi-disc brakes. Supported by an electronically activated exhaust brake and a six-stage modulating transmission retarder, the TA400 offers long brake component lifecycles. The Allison HD4560 transmission features high performance oil and up to 6,000 hours between service intervals.
