The Terex 970 model is a classic version of a backhoe loader with a wheel arrangement that has both drive and swivel wheels. In terms of performance characteristics, this machine is one of the best in its class.

Distinctive features of the equipment are relatively small overall dimensions and excellent maneuverability, which is especially appreciated when working in urban environments or in conditions with a small working space.

note

This backhoe loader is used almost everywhere. The high versatility of the equipment is due to a fairly extensive range of additional attachments, which are controlled using special levers located in the cab.

The excavator boom has a separate hydraulic line, which allows the installation of hydraulically driven units, such as a jackhammer and drill. Often the model is equipped with a ripper or a hydraulic gripper.

With the first type, the technique is used in agriculture, while with the second in the forestry industries.

The machine is able to maintain its full functionality even under very high loads, which is what increased the popularity of the model.

The backhoe loader has an optimal balance of technical characteristics and mechanical connections of working equipment with quite impressive lifting capabilities.

Thanks to the high ground clearance, as well as the rear axle differential lock, the machine has increased maneuverability, which allows it to be used in swampy areas and soils with reduced load-bearing capacity.

The machine also has several other distinctive advantages, namely:

• Service intervals have been increased to 500 working hours, which reduces not only material investments in maintenance, but also equipment downtime.
• The model has a fairly high speed of independent movement, thanks to which the machine is able to reach the work site in a fairly short time.
• The brake system has a long service life and is distinguished by its reliability. The brakes themselves are disc type, located in an oil bath.
• The model uses a modern closed center hydraulic system.
• In addition to high performance, the installed power plant is also famous for its environmental friendliness. The engine fully complies with American EPA Tier 3 standards and European EU Stage 3A requirements.
• The backhoe loader is equipped with a four-speed gearbox, which allows shifting without a clutch pedal.
• The existing rear axle differential lock is activated using a special pedal.
• The machine is equipped with a brake drive on two or four wheels.
• There are special functions of “crab motion” and “track to trail”, which allow you to simultaneously turn the wheels of the front and rear axles. This ensures incredible maneuverability, which is especially important when operating in tight spaces.
• The oil radiators of the hydraulic system have a very favorable location, which allows them to be cleaned without any difficulty.

All elements and components of the Terex 970 backhoe loader can operate fully even under rather harsh temperature conditions. The operating temperature range of this model starts from minus 40 degrees Celsius and up to plus 40 degrees Celsius. It is worth noting that any natural precipitation will not affect the performance of the equipment, which is undoubtedly a big plus.

Among previous models, this machine is distinguished by its all-terrain layout, which ensures the movement of equipment through mud, off-road conditions and puddles.

Not every analogue with unequal wheels is able to cope with such tasks. Despite its considerable weight, the Terex 970 is a very playful machine.

Important

The ideal combination of a wheeled chassis and a rigid frame allows the equipment to cope with quite complex tasks.

Also, compared to similar machines, the backhoe loader has significantly improved technical and operational characteristics. The machine is an ideal option for performing various types of earthmoving work. It should be noted that in terms of this indicator, this model is able to compete even with heavy tracked excavators.

The model is equipped with a modern cabin with excellent ergonomics. The interior layout of the Terex 970 is the result of long-term transformations in the comfortable work segment. The steering column has a special mechanism that allows you to select the desired angle of inclination, so the operator can adjust his workplace to his personal preferences.

Also contributing to the comfort of the cabin is a comfortable adjustable seat mounted on a pneumatic cushion, thanks to which it was possible to eliminate vibrations that occur during operation. A powerful heating system and efficient air conditioning are responsible for the necessary microclimate in the cabin.

Together, they allow you to achieve maximum operating comfort at any time of the year. The cabin is glazed along the entire perimeter, and the structure itself has very large windows, which ensures excellent visibility of the work area. There is a gearshift lever inside, and the gearbox itself operates in automatic mode.

It should be noted that gear shifting can be done on the go without loss of torque.

The backhoe loader uses a double U-shaped frame made of steel. The frame has local seams and has a huge margin of safety. The frame structure was additionally coated with a polyurethane anti-corrosion agent. This coating was applied in two layers, which provided increased resistance to environmental influences.

Other structural elements of this backhoe loader were made using high-strength materials.

The manufacturer has developed additional units specifically for the machine that are ideally combined, both in terms of overall dimensions and volume, which ensures high efficiency of the equipment when performing absolutely any operation. The model has become the most popular on the Russian market due to its versatility and reliability.
