Terex releases Gen2 R265T compact track loader

Southaven, Mississippi-based Terex has introduced the R265T compact track loader, featuring a 74-horsepower turbocharged Tier 4 final diesel engine with variable flow hydraulics. The R265T is the newest member of the Terex Generation 2 (Gen2) loader lineup.

With its narrow width (70 inches), the R265T radial lift path compact track loader can maneuver and operate in confined or congested work sites, making it an ideal loader for rental stores and contractors working in site preparation, construction, landscaping, infrastructure development and demolition applications, Terex says. Its purpose-built chassis is designed to be a heavy-duty machine within a compact package. 

The R265T loader has 221 foot-pounds of peak torque, a tipping load of 7,571 pounds, a bucket breakout force of 5,800 pounds and a lift height of 125 inches.

The Terex R265T compact track loader comes standard with 18-inch wide tracks—20-inch tracks are optional—and patented Posi-Track™ undercarriage technology with multiple levels of suspension that distribute the machine’s 9,180-pound operating weight down to only 3.6 pounds per square inch of ground pressure, Terex says. The low ground pressure prevents damage to the ground below and provides extended track life, the company says.

The loader’s undercarriage is suspended from the chassis of the machine by independent torsion axles, so there are multiple levels of suspension points connecting the chassis to the undercarriage, Terex says. This design allows the bogie wheels on the Terex R265T compact track loader to flex, creating a smooth ride and taking away much of the vibration and shock associated with running over rocks, curbs and other rough terrain, the company adds.

Terex Gen2 compact track loaders feature a proprietary all-rubber track, rather than a rigid track technology with steel embedded tracks mounted on an existing skid steer chassis. This system enables the track loaders to achieve more traction and higher flotation, Terex says. It also offers improved operating comfort.
