Demonstrating its commitment to Indian infrastructure development, Terex in India has launched its new world renowned products - the TL 210 wheel loader and PT 200 mini dumper.

TL 210, equipped with the 160 hp BS III Cummins engine, is an absolute and powerful loading equipment that offers a wide range of loading functions in varied loading applications based on user industry requirements. The best stability and great lifting power are provided by its transversely installed engine. The unique Terex? SP kinematics provide for powerful operation in all bucket positions. The TL210 is an extremely cost-effective wheel loader thanks to its hydrostatic drive, exclusive cooling system with reversing blower and load-sensing hydraulics.

Oscillating rear axle provides stable operation on uneven ground while maintaining 4-wheel traction for greater operator comfort and control. With bucket capacity ranging from 2.0 to 3.5 cu m, it has a tremendous tipping load (articulated) of 7,600 kg. This enables the machine greatly to cut down lead times while undertaking loading-hauling-unloading-applications at various points at the job site. TL 210 is expected to meet the ever-rising requirements of the user industry and establish itself as a benchmark product to match.

Terex? site dumper PT 200 can handle the most difficult operating conditions and the toughest of operators, thanks to its robust design. This site dumper delivers exceptional power when needed and can access the narrowest of construction sites. Equipped with powerful and fuel efficient 24 hp Mitsubishi engine, it has a maximum payload capacity of 2 T, making it one of the best in its class. The front-end tipping of PT 200 enables the driver to unload the material at its exact location. It is effectively used to carry concrete and other building materials such as sand, stone chips, and bricks in locations where large machines find it difficult to operate.

Vijay Sharma, Executive Director, TEPL, says, "Terex has used a unique innovative process to develop insight and understand better the needs and preferences of the Indian customers and the end users of our products. Apart from the existing product portfolio, our new products - TL 210 wheel loader and PT 200 site dumper will go a long way in setting the benchmark for operational efficiency and low cost of maintenance. Our new products are going to enhance our reach in Indian market and help us in offering end-to-end solutions to the end users."
