Construction is big business in British Columbia right now, with lots of large-scale projects taking place across the region. That\u2019s why Terex Trucks has decided to strengthen its presence there by signing a new dealer: RDM Equipment Sales and Rentals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

British Columbia (BC) is the westernmost province in Canada. With its mountainous landscape and abundance of lakes, it\u2019s a popular holiday destination for thrill seekers who enjoy activities such as camping, hiking and river rafting. BC is also a very popular location for contractors in the business of construction, as there are many large-scale projects taking place across the region. The Millennium Line Broadway extension project is already underway, which will see the rapid rail line extended by more than 5km. There are also plans to replace the 629m (2,064 ft) George Massey tunnel and build a natural gas pipeline that will be 670km in length.<\/p>\n

Customer to dealer<\/b><\/p>\n

With such a strong construction market in BC, Terex Trucks<\/a> decided to sign RDM Equipment Sales and Rentals as its new dealer in the region. The team behind RDM Equipment Sales and Rentals has plenty of experience in the industry. \u201cHaving previously been a construction contractor for the past 40 years, we knew there was a need to service the market with a large rental fleet and a quality range of products,\u201d says Steve Madsen, President of RDM Equipment Sales and Rentals. \u201cWe\u2019re striving to be the first choice in value-based heavy equipment solutions \u2013 and with the level of product quality you get from Terex Trucks, I\u2019m confident we\u2019ll get there. This is a new chapter for us \u2013 we want to be bigger and better than any previous Terex Trucks dealer has ever been before. We are committed to delivering customer satisfaction \u2013 not just through providing quality machines, but also by providing an outstanding level of customer support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well suited<\/b><\/p>\n

The majority of RDM Equipment Sales and Rentals\u2019 customers are active in the mining, construction and landscaping segments. As a Terex Trucks dealer, the company sells, rents, services and provides parts for the TA300 and TA400 from its headquarters in Surrey, BC. \u201cWe\u2019re really happy to be a Terex Trucks dealer,\u201d says Steve. \u201cThe TA300 and TA400 articulated haulers from Terex Trucks fill a much-needed gap in our product lineup and will enable us to become an even stronger dealership. They are good quality products that are perfectly suited to the BC market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith RDM Equipment Sales and Rentals\u2019 extensive experience as a customer in this market, they know what good service looks like,\u201d says Greg Gerbus, Regional Sales Manager at Terex Trucks. \u201cRDM is a strong dealership that\u2019s keen to become even stronger, making them a valuable addition to our global dealer network. I think they will do very well now that the TA300 and TA400 are in their product portfolio \u2013 because a high proportion of their customers work in mines and construction sites, which are precisely the kind of challenging applications our machines are designed for.\u201d<\/p>\n

British engineering in BC<\/b><\/p>\n

RDM Equipment Sales and Rentals will be supplying Terex Trucks TA300 and TA400 articulated haulers within BC. The recently upgraded TA300 \u2013 which can haul 28 tonnes (30.9 tons) and has a heaped capacity of 17.5m\u00b3 (22.9yd\u00b3) \u2013 now comes with the new ZF EP320 transmission. This means smoother gear shifting and a 5% improvement in fuel efficiency, as well as enhanced performance, productivity and operator comfort. As a result of this product upgrade, the TA300 also now comes with long life transmission fluid, increasing the length of time between oil maintenance intervals from 1,000 to 4,000 hours. In addition to all of this, the TA300 also has true independent front suspension as standard, further enhancing operator comfort and enabling excellent traction control and maximum productivity.<\/p>\n

Terex Trucks articulated haulers are firm favorites among customers working in mines, quarries and large-scale construction sites. The largest articulated hauler in the company\u2019s product offering is the TA400. It is able to haul 38 tonnes (41.9 tons), boasts a heaped capacity of 23.3m\u00b3 (30.3yd\u00b3) and comes fitted with a Scania DC13 engine. It is fitted with an Allison HD4560 transmission, high performance oil and offers up to 6,000 hours between service intervals. This heavyweight hauler also provides great traction and an effective power-to-weight ratio, which ensures material is moved quickly and efficiently at minimal cost.<\/p>\n
