Terex adds forest models to compact track loader family
The new Terex Generation 2 (GEN2) R350T and R350T Forestry compact track loaders feature 120-hp, turbocharged Tier 4 Final Cummins QSF3.8 diesel engines and offer operators powerful productivity and quick cycle times, the company says.
Boasting 360 ft.-lb. of peak engine torque, high-flow auxiliary hydraulics, a high-capacity cooling system and a two-speed hydrostatic drive system that allows travel speeds up to 10 mph, these models are ideal for demanding site preparation, construction, infrastructure development and demolition applications, including brush cutting, mulching, cold planing and more.
Engineered with a radial lift path, meaning the loader arms raise in an arc pattern, these compact track loaders excel at digging and grading applications, Terex reports.
According to Terex, the power, engine horsepower, bucket breakout force and axle torque of GEN2 loaders contribute to the machines’ lift capability and pushing force. These attributes combined mean GEN2 loaders are able to handle heavier loads with faster cycle times than competitive brands, enabling operators to get more work done in a day.
Designed for maximum productivity, the R350T loader has an operating weight of 11,265 lbs., a tipping load of 10,100 lbs., a 3,535-lb. rated operating capacity and a lift height of 125 in.
To tackle tough forestry jobsite conditions, the R350T Forestry unit has an operating weight of 12,255 lbs., a tipping load of 10,700 lbs. with a 3,745-lb. operating capacity at a 35 percent tipping load capacity, as well as a lift height of 125 in. Engineered with a narrow 6-ft. profile, 15-in. ground clearance and low ground pressure, the loaders work well in limited access areas, as well as on soft or sensitive surfaces, with minimal damage or impact, Terex says.
The R350T and R350T Forestry loaders feature an advanced undercarriage system suspended from the chassis of the machine by torsion axles, the company adds. These torsion axles are independent so there are multiple levels of suspension points connecting the chassis to the undercarriage. The design allows the bogie wheels on these models to flex, creating a smooth ride and taking away much of the vibration and shock associated with running over rocks, curbs and other rough terrain, Terex says.
