PT-30 Posi-Track Loader Series 3
- Categorized in: Terex Posi-Track Loaders

At only 48 inches (1219 mm) wide, the Terex PT-30 compact track loader is sized to work in confined spaces yet productive enough to replace an entire crew of hand labor.
The 32.7 horsepower (24 kW) PT-30 uses patented Posi-Track™ undercarriage technology with suspension that maximizes traction and flotation. As a result, the machine’s 3,305 lb (1500 kg) operating weight is distributed down to only 2.8 pounds per square inch (19.2 kPa) of ground pressure.
A wide-range of performance-matched attachments makes it ideal for many jobs. The PT-30 may be equipped with general purpose 11-inch wide (280 mm) tracks or optional smooth Turf tracks for ultimate protection of finished surfaces.
- Compact and maneuverable, ideal for productive work even in tight situations where access is limited.
- Very low ground pressure allows work on soft or sensitive surfaces with minimal damage or impact.
- Easy operation with pilot-operated joystick controls and comfortable operator station.
- Standard auxiliary hydraulics and quick coupler attach easily to a wide range of performance-matched attachments
