Komatsu equipment is involved on almost every Terra Contracting job site. One of the machines that AIS supplied to Terra was the Komatsu HM-400 (pictured at right). The Komatsu HM-400 provided Terra Contracting with productivity and reduced maintenance costs. The HM-400 is designed with hydraulic articulated steering for light and easy maneuvering as well as a wide cab that offers comfortable operation and excellent visibility. Inter-axle and differential locks provide maximum traction for this articulated dump truck that features an “ecot3” environmentally-friendly engine.
