LOAD & HAUL
Terex’s TA300 machines are proving popular in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where they are being used for hauling coal at the Gracanica mine
XHP counterparts – build on the engineering advances in their D Series predecessors. Now standard on all six D2 Series models is the Caterpillar heads-up Advanced Display, and all feature a new engine-compartment sealing system for enhanced airfl ow debris control. Non-XHP models have increases in rated operating capacity (ROC), and XHP models now maintain their excellent ROC numbers without external counterweights. All models have a vertical-lift loader linkage and use a Cat C3.8 engine meeting U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV emissions standards. Cat is making much of the fact
The trucks are fuel efficient and have proven to be extremely productive, so we’re looking forward to putting the new TA300s to work

that as well as providing a theft deterrent system, the Advanced Display accommodates up to 50 operator security codes that allow each operator to adjust the machine to suit individual operating preferences. A full-colour, fi ve inch LCD monitor enables on-screen adjustment of implement response, hydrostatic drive response, creep control speed, ride control activation speed, language preference and gauge layout selection. Electronic instrumentation includes fuel level, DEF (diesel exhaust fl uid) level, hydraulic and engine coolant temperatures, and tachometer. An available rearview camera, standard
on the XHP models, displays high- resolution images on the monitor to comfortably increase the operator’s fi eld of vision for increasing job-site awareness. With increases in ROC of up to 8%, Cat says that the D2 Series models provide excellent lifting performance for heavy loads and/ or handling larger hydro-mechanical work tools. T e 272D2, 297D2 and 299D2 models deliver ROC ratings of 3,400, 4,700, and 4,600 lb, respectively, at 50% of tipping capacity. Ratings for the 272D2 XHP, 297D2 XHP, and 299D2 XHP are 3,650, 4800 and 4,725 lb respectively, at the 50% rating. For applications that require additional lifting capacity, all six models can be equipped with optional bolt-on external counterweights.
Dump trucks head to Bosnia coal mine In hauling business news, Terex Trucks has recently announced that its existing customer, Rudnik Uglja Gracanica, has purchased two additional TA300 articulated dump trucks for hauling coal at the company’s Gracanica mine in Bosnia and Herzegovina, bringing the total of Terex Trucks in the fl eet to nine.
