Terex Introduces Updated PT-30 Compact Track Loader

Terex Construction Americas, based in Southaven, Miss., has re-introduced its PT-30 compact track loader with redesigned features. According to the company, the new version of the model is designed with a 26 percent increase in lift height, a 16 percent increase in operating capacity and a 45 percent increase in bucket rollback while continuing to offer operators the compact and maneuverable operation of its predecessor.

 “We continue to enhance our compact track loader lineup based on feedback from our distributors and customers,” says Rick Harris, senior product manager, Terex Construction Americas. “The original PT-30 was introduced in 2001 and continues to be one of our best-selling models for small landscapers and construction contractors, landowners, hobby farmers and municipalities. Our goal with the new PT-30 was to update it with the features that are most popular with our other compact track loader models, while keeping the attributes that have made it so well-liked.”

As the smallest compact track loader in the Terex lineup, the 4-foot profile of the PT-30 allows it to work in areas of limited space. The PT-30 features 33.7 horsepower, an operating weight of 3,600 pounds and a tipping load of 1,900 pounds. With a low 3-psi ground pressure, the PT-30 can work on soft or sensitive surfaces with minimal damage or impact, according to the company.

Terex says several features on the new PT-30 have been updated to match the popular PT-60 model, including the design of the loader arm. The PT-30 comes standard with loader-mounted quick attach interface, allowing it to operate a wide range of attachments, including an auger, backhoe, brush cutter, leveler, pallet forks, box rake, snow blade and blower, tiller and trencher, as well as general purpose, light-material and multi-purpose buckets.
