The updated TA300 has two additional forward gears

Terex Trucks is unveiling its updated TA300 articulated hauler. The TA300 benefits from the new EP320 transmission, which comes with two additional forward gears – eight in total – as well as four reverse gears. This helps to ensure smoother gear shifting and thereby superior operator comfort.

In addition to this, the TA300 now delivers a 5% improvement in fuel efficiency, as well as enhanced performance, productivity and operator comfort. It also now comes with long life transmission fluid, which has helped to increase the length of time between oil maintenance intervals from 1,000 to 4,000 hours.

The hauler’s maximum speed has also increased to 55km/h, up from 50km/h. Terex Trucks says that ultimately this means customers can achieve faster cycle times, reduce the cost of operation per tonne and minimise their fuel consumption.

“The TA300 is one of our staple products, hence why we worked long and hard to make it even better for our customers,” said Terex Trucks MD Paul Douglas. “The upgraded TA300 was rigorously tested for nearly two years internally and by operators on real job sites, working in a variety of conditions.”
