Highlights of the new Terberg RT382-4x4
Tuesday, April 13th 2004
With the development of the RT382 model the handling capacity of a 4x4 tractor is increased considerably. It is the answer to the needs in the market for a 4x4 tractor with higher capacities.
An order of 4 units of the first RT382 model was delivered to Sigma, Finland in June of 2002. In September 2002 the order of 8 units was delivered to Brambles Shipping in Australia.
- The cabin on the Terberg RT382 is exactly the same as on the well proven TT/RT xx2 range and is thus equipped with the best possible ergonomical design available on the market. The cabin is equipped with a standard low noise level, a generous heater and as an option a very effective air-conditioning system which creates the perfect working environment for the driver, allowing him to make long and productive days without driver fatigue.
- The cabin on the Terberg RT382 is as a standard equipped with a newly designed air suspension. The new cab air suspension provides a super drivers comfort and combines this with a good feel for the driver what the tractor is doing. This new feature is also available as an option regarding the other tractors of the TT/RT range.
- New open profile anti-slip access steps to the cab and the platform behind the cab which create an easy and safe entrance to the cab or the platform behind the cab.
- The Terberg RT382 is equipped with the latest generation Cummins industrial 11 Litre engine, the QSM11 (see attached Acrobat files). We install the QSM11-335 which offers a rated power of 250kW (335Hp) @2100 rpm and a peak power of 274kW (367Hp) @ 1800 rpm. The extremely high maximum engine torque is 1704Nm @1100-1400 rpm. This latest generation, state of the art engine has very low fuel consumption figures below 200 g/kWh. The engine has a very modern and clean combustion process and is fully complying to the US EPA/CARB Tier 2 and European Euromot-II regulations as are in force at this moment. By the way all the Terberg equipment being produced for the European market is fully complying to these latest exhaust regulations.
- The engine is standard equipped with an isolating cover on the oil pump which effectively reduces the outside noise of the tractor.
- A totally new cooling system has been designed to cope with outside temperatures of up to 50°C continuously. The cooling package has been designed as a module which can be easily taken apart or removed from the vehicle whenever there is a need for. The cooling air is being provided by a new visco-coupling driven 11-blade fan which offers optimum airflow at the lowest possible power consumption and noise emission.
- The Terberg RT382 is equipped with a standard 350 Litres fuel tank which makes up for very long intervals between refuelling.
- The Terberg RT382 is equipped with the latest generation fully electronically controlled ZF 6WG260 Ergopower full-powershift transmission offering a standard choice between low speed fixed gears and a standard automatic shift programme. The transmission is fully protected from rough handling of the driver and offers a superior shift quality. The hydraulic system for the gearshifts is working with proportional valves, which allows a very precise control of the clutches. For each gear-change, the control unit performs a monitoring function to ensure the specified shift curve is adhered to, and re-adjusts the shift pressure applied to the clutches accordingly. This results in smooth gearshifts - even loaded - with no traction interrupt.
- The ZF 6WG260 Ergopower transmission is equipped with a standard interaxle differential which creates a standard 1/3 - 2/3 torque split between the front and rear axle. This interaxle differential is equipped with a differential lock which can be switched on while driving and is electronically protected so it will only engage when the engine torque is below 600Nm AND the vehicle speed is below 4 km/h.
- The Terberg RT382 is equipped with a standard brake system with 4 separate circuits, 4x30 litres air tanks and with large, high capacity diameter 500mm brakes on front and rear axle. This ensures the loaded tractor can be effectively and safely stopped.
- The front axle is a heavy duty Kessler unit which has a 42° wheel lock angle which provides an extremely small turning radius of 7.15 metres (with 3200mm wheelbase). The maximum loading capacity of this axle is 25 Tonnes @10km/h.
- The rear axle is a extreme heavy duty Kessler unit with a pneumatically operated differential lock. The maximum loading capacity of this axle is 48 Tonnes @10km/h.
- The suspension systems on front and rear axles are build around the well-proven heavy duty 5–leaf parabolic front axle suspension and around the also well-proven fixed and air operated rear axle suspensions of the present RT282 tractors.
- The max. outside width of the tractor is only 2570mm which ensures a very easy and unobstructed use of the tractor in all Ro/Ro and heavy pulling operations.
- A totally new chassisframe has been designed which can accept a max. fifth wheel load of 45 tonnes, a GVW of 58 tonnes, and a GCW up to 230 tonnes. (RoRo-transport) (350tonnes for MTS-applications)
- A new liftframe with standard cardanic fifthwheel and mounting preparations for Safeneck capable of accepting the 45tonnes fifthwheel-load has been installed.
- The hydraulic system on the Terberg RT382 is equipped with a standard 230 Litre capacity hydraulic oil tank. This makes sure the tractor can fulfil even the harshest hydraulic requirements.
- The lowest possible maintenance requirements because of maintenance free suspension systems, an absolute minimum number of grease nipples, very long engine oil change intervals.
