Optima TC55 with Load Alert Delivers Reliable Personnel
Access for a Variety of Vocational Applications
Terex Utilities will display the Optima TC55 aerial device featuring the Terex®
Load Alert™ system at The Work Truck Show, March 5-8, in Indianapolis, Ind.
“The Optima series ‘optimizes’ weight and payload with enhanced features of
ground access, greater side reach, lower travel height, increased boom speed and
responsiveness and improved maintenance access,” said Joe Caywood, Director of
Marketing.
Optima TC55 is a 55-ft non-overcenter aerial with up to 42.8 ft of side reach.
That’s three feet longer than the legacy model which helps with truck positioning
at the jobsite. Increased boom speeds and responsiveness also help to increase
productivity on the job. Additionally, the platform can be lowered near the ground,
making it easier for operators to access and handle tools and equipment passed
from the ground crew.
“Fleet managers regularly request reliable equipment with maximum uptime. To
that end, Terex reduced and simplified maintenance on the Optima TC55,” contin-
ued Caywood. A new pedestal design allows for easier access for torqueing lower
rotation bearing bolts. O-ring face seals allow for improved hydraulic connections
and are used on hoses and fittings above rotation.
Additionally the optional feature of Load Alert will be shown on the aerial device.
“Load Alert is an innovation first brought to the market by Terex,” said Caywood.
Load Alert monitors and analyzes the truck’s jib and basket capacity and provides
visible and audible alarms when an overload has been detected to aid users to
support their safe work practices.
