Terex TC85 compact excavator now available in the US The new Terex TC85 compact crawler exca- vator was designed specifi cally for demand- ing excavation jobs and space-restrictive trenching work. Its short radius tail-swing and offset boom allows operators to dig right along side the machine's tracks during excavation work. Weighing in at 18,080 pounds, the excavator's buck- et capacities range from 3.1 to 10.8 cubic yards, with a dig depth of 14- foot 10-inch at 11,960 foot-pounds of digging force. The digging arm has a total reach of 25-foot 4-inch, making the excavator suitable for a range of jobs, including landscap- ing, general construction, water and sewer, electric and utility and municipal work. There are three track options available for the TC85, including rubber (standard), steel with rubber pads and steel. Featuring a 75-horsepower, 2.9-liter Deutz diesel engine with 221 foot-pounds of torque at 1,600 rpm, the excavator meets emissions requirements through the use of a diesel oxidation catalyst, which replaces the catalytic converter and results in a low maintenance exhaust system, with no need for regeneration or injections of diesel exhaust fl uid. The engine also incorporates auto stop and auto idle features, which further impacts fuel consumption. Its duel-circuit hydraulics system uses load-independent fl ow distribution, which allows all functions to be controlled simultaneously, regardless of engine speed, but independent of the load. The TC85 is designed to work closely alongside walls or other existing infrastructure thanks to its specialized boom. The boom has an articulated joint, which allows the machine to be moved to either side at full digging depth. Its 120-degree angle or articulation provides enough fl ex- ibility to work in narrow construction sites, including hedgerows, slopes and walls. The operator workstation is ergonomically designed and air conditioned, and offers increased visibility from the cab and Terex Fingertip Controls, which uses shorter routes on the joystick to reduce operator fatigue. Terex has included its latest operating system, Terex Smart Control, which acts as a central control unit and allows the machines performance to be better tailored to individual jobsite applications. The 7-inch display screen incorporates a new menu guide that is similar in appearance to modern smartphones, and provides the opera- tor with a user-friendly interface when navigating menus and monitoring engine data. Doosan Portable Power introduces variable power air compressor Doosan's XP825/HP750 air compressor delivers the pressure and fl ow options typical of multiple units, but in one compressor. The variable settings provide versatility on the jobsite, and the Tier 4 Final Cummins QSB engine can operate at either 825 cfm at 125 psi or 750 cfm at 150 psi. Incorporating a diesel oxidation catalyst and selective catalytic reduction, the emissions system is low maintenance, with no regeneration cycles. The airend's effi cient rotor profi le requires less horsepower to sustain cfm output, which results in reduced fuel consumption. In an effort to further reduce fuel use, Doosan integrated a thermostatically controlled engine-driven cooling fan with a hydraulic clutch that engages when engine temperatures get too high, which also reduces the noise produced by the compressor. A 102-gallon fuel tank provides up to nine hours of operation, whether used in general construction, road work, or pipeline pressure testing. It features a redesigned control panel, with a simplifi ed digital display and LED backlit gauges, including machine diagnostics and service interval reminders. psi or 750 cfm at 150 psi.
