Five Terex for Lafarge

Lafarge Aggregates has taken delivery of five new Terex trucks for haulage applications at four of its UK quarries.
The deal includes two Generation 7 TA30 articulated dump trucks and one unit each of the TR40, TR45 and TR60 rigid dump trucks.
The two 27t-capacity TA30 units have been delivered to the Mountsorrel super quarry in Leicestershire and will replace three older machines.
The trucks are being used to haul finished materials from the hopper bins to stockpiles. For this job it was important that the trucks drive through narrow entrances to the overhead bins. They were therefore specified with narrow tyres, 400mm body-side extensions and an auto-latch tailgate.
The Llynclys quarry near Oswestry has taken delivery of the 41t payload Terex TR45 to operate alongside an identical model bought last year. The nearby Graig quarry in north Wales has the 55t capacity TR60.
At the Marfield quarry in North Yorkshire, the recently delivered 36t payload Terex TR40 unit is hauling sand and gravel for a crushing and screening operation.
