Landfill operations can be tough, but that\u2019s exactly when Terex Trucks\u2019 articulated haulers excel. Civil and demolition company DECC recently bought a TA400 dump truck to work on a landfill site just outside Brisbane, Australia, and the team is already impressed with its reliable and efficient performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Terex Trucks TA400 articulated hauler has been working hard at a site in Swanbank, near Brisbane, carrying out a variety of jobs from remediation of landfills to stormwater management. The TA400 has impressed the DECC team with its ability to perform in tough conditions.<\/p>\n

DECC specialises in demolition, environmental, civil contracting, earthworks, remediation and decontamination services, as well as project management and consulting services within the construction industry. \u201cWe have pretty rough conditions in demolition, so we choose equipment that\u2019s tough, reliable and efficient \u2013 but without that hefty price tag,\u201d says Josh Cutts, DECC\u2019s National Plant Manager. \u201cWe do lots of landfill jobs from design, construction, monitoring, remediation and post-closure management. The TA400 dump truck is performing a lot of these landfill jobs for us. It has been giving us heavy-duty and efficient performance in the various conditions that it has been used in so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

The TA400 is the largest articulated hauler on offer from Terex Trucks, with a maximum payload of 38 tonnes (41.9 tons). It has a heaped capacity of 23.3 m3<\/sup> (30.3 yd3<\/sup>). Powered by a high performance, fuel efficient engine that develops a gross power of 331 kW (444 hp), the TA400 meets the demands of the most extreme operations including quarries, mines and large-scale construction projects. For the Australian market, the TA400 is fitted with a fuel-efficient Tier 2 engine to meet local emission requirements. However, the trucks can be fitted with a globally emission compliant engine that meets the requirements of EU and North American legislation without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This is achieved via the latest generation selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, combined with exhaust gas regeneration (EGR) and a variable geometry turbo (VGT).<\/p>\n
