The Terex Track Skid Steer Loader For Sale
Over the years, Terex has introduced TSL 200, TSL 210, and TSL 220 skid steer loaders with some state-of-the-art safety features. These three Terex Track Skid Steers for sale are best known for being effective combinations of technology, features, productivity, reliability, and effectiveness. If a buyer does purchase a Terex skid steer loader however, he should know that there is a definite correlation between good maintenance and its productivity. The owner has to hire professionally-trained operators despite the heftier price tag because they are not only more qualified, but also know the best ways to keep your machine in tip-top condition
The Terex skid steer loader has a relatively large size, making it undoubtedly one of the more demanding machines in your fleet. This means efficiency is an extremely crucial factor to consider. Without stringent safety practices, then the machine could give major problems in the future, not to mention the higher likelihood of accidents. At the very least, you should follow two important practices:
Start with training
All leading construction equipment companies provide operation and maintenance manuals for all their skid steers, and Terex is no different. In fact, they offer one of the most comprehensive training programs for both operators and service staff. All these programs introduce to participants the technical knowledge, and best practices for each machine. Though experience is clearly important, it does not mean that an operator with 20 years of skid steer driving under his belt knows everything. There is always new technology introduced, and the guidebook is a great read to teach an old dog new tricks. Regardless, the operator both fresh and veteran must familiarize themselves with the entire control configuration before operating it.
Machine safeguards
The Terex Company is constantly updating their skid steers’ safety features. These include:
Lift arm supports
The Terex skid steer loaders come attached with pin-type or strut-type supports that allow the loader to move with the arms raised.
Interlocked controls
These controls require the operator to be in a safe environment before the machine can be operated. Terex skid loaders generally requires the seat belt or lap bar to be fastened before it is usable.
ROPS and side screens
These keep the operator safe from being thrown out of the machine. The ROPS is a system of strong metal side screens to prevent the driver from reaching the area between the arms and frame.
Seat belts
Terex seat belts are designed to handle heavy duty usage and keeps the driver practically motionless even over rocky terrain.
