Device

The car is considered all-terrain, because... its cross-country ability on any type of base, including puddles and mud, is always high. The same applies to off-road conditions, which is especially important when working in agriculture. This is an undeniable advantage of the technology, because no other similar machine has such quality (with different wheel diameters). It is worth remembering that the weight of the loader is quite large. For work in difficult conditions, a rigid frame is provided.

The parameters of the Terex 970 are significantly higher than those of heavy-duty equipment. Not all models are capable of digging trenches of the same depth. This indicator is comparable only with the indicators of specialized equipment used for excavation work in construction.

The frame of the machine follows the U-shape and is made of a double steel frame. The welds are located locally, because The housing is made using stamping and practically does not require voltage concentrators. The coating of the supporting structure is anti-corrosion polyurethane. It guarantees the preservation of the original quality of the steel for the entire period of operation of the equipment and prevents the occurrence of corrosion due to contact with water (including precipitation). The coating is applied in two layers.

For the manufacture of components and working elements, only high-quality and reliable materials are used. The standard equipment of the loader includes working parts, the dimensions of which are optimal. Thus, by purchasing a basic assembly machine, you can get an assistant that is highly productive and efficient. This is precisely the key factor for purchasing equipment.

Excellent speed performance guarantees fast transportation of equipment, and fuel consumption ensures economical efficiency.
