The cover this month shows a Terex Trucks TR70 65 t payload, 567 kW rigid hauler
operating at a minesite. The robust TR70 is proven to deliver a high return on
investment thanks to low total cost of operation, and is built for ease of maintenance
and long-lasting performance. It is one of four rigid haulers in the range, along with
the TR45, TR60 and TR100; which are renowned for their robustness and efficiency,
from torque out of the pit to availability. These trucks are used throughout the key
mining regions but are particularly well regarded in the more challenging markets,
from Russian, South African and Indonesian coal to Middle Eastern phosphate and
quarrying. www.terextrucks.com
