All Tracked Loaders Articles

Caterpillar launched three additions to its ‘C' designated range of compact tracked loaders (CTL) at the World of Concrete show in Las Vegas.

Caterpillar has added three compact rubber tracked loaders to its loader range. The 279C (pictured), 289C and 299C models use a newly designed suspension-type undercarriage combined with the existing chassis found on the multi-terrain 277C, 287C and 297C loaders. Caterpillar said the new loaders complement the very low ground pressure multi terrain models.

Terex has launched its new range of compact tracked loaders designed by ASV, the US manufacturer that it bought earlier this year. Initially, Terex has brought the PT-30, PT-60 and PT-80 to market with operating weights of 1500 kg, 2880 kg and 4070 kg respectively. A PT-100 model will follow in 2009.

Mustang Manufacturing Co in the US has upgraded three of its tracked loaders. The MTL316, MTL320 and MTL325 - which replace the MTL16, MTL20 and MTL25 models - meet Tier III engine requirements and are faster and more powerful than their predecessors.

Terex Corp aims to be selling at least three of the recently acquired ASV tracked loaders in Europe by the end of the year. The PT-30, PT-60 and PT-80 models will be available first, followed by the PT-50 and also the largest PT-100 model (pictured).

Terex has announced it will buy compact tracked loader manufacturer ASV for US$488 million (€342 million).
