The Rokbak RA30 and RA40 articulated haulers’ appearance at the 2023 ConExpo construction show happening March 14th to 18th in Las Vegas will be the first for the off-highway trucks at a North American trade show. Rokbak introduced the haulers in September 2021 at the same time it announced a full rebrand from its former name, Terex Trucks. The Scottish manufacturer is owned by The Volvo Group, and will appear at ConExpo at booth F8926 with Volvo Construction Equipment and Volvo Penta.

In High Demand

The RA30 and RA40 are well-suited for quarry, mining, infrastructure, and commercial construction projects. Rokbak delivered the first units in September 2021, sending two sand-colored RA30s to Easton Sales and Rentals, which immediately sold them to Linco Construction of Houston. Rokbak says most U.S. dealers had confirmed orders within the first few months of the haulers’ introduction.

“Rokbak is seeing huge demand for its RA30 and RA40 articulated haulers in the U.S.,” says Robert Franklin, Rokbak director of sales, Americas. “The U.S. is leading articulated hauler demand globally with huge infrastructure spend. There is a lot of construction activity at the moment around house and road building, so we are keen to meet with customers and potential customers at ConExpo and discuss how the RA30 and RA40 can help with these projects.”
