Other
The company may assist customers in their rental, leasing, and acquisition of its products through Terex Financial Services (TFS). TFS uses its equipment financing experience to facilitate financial products and services to assist customers in the acquisition of its equipment. On a global basis, TFS facilitates financing transactions directly between end-user customers, distributors, and rental companies and third-party financial institutions, providing recourse in certain circumstances. Most of the transactions are fixed and floating rate loans; however, TFS also facilitates sales-type leases, operating leases and rentals. In addition, wholesale financing may be arranged between dealers and distributors who sell its equipment and financial institutions with which TFS has established relationships.
TFS uses third-party appraisal companies to provide a basis to project future values of Terex used equipment in the secondary market sales channels. These secondary market sales channels may also be used for re-marketing any equipment which is returned at end of lease or is repossessed in the case of a customer default. If equipment is received, TFS uses the resale channel which maximizes proceeds and/or mitigates risk for Terex and its funding partners.

Products
Materials Processing
Materials Processing Equipment
Materials processing equipment is used in processing aggregate materials for building applications and is also used in the quarrying, mining, construction, demolition, recycling, landscaping and biomass production industries. The company’s materials processing equipment includes crushers, screens, trommels and feeders, washing systems and conveyors, as well as wood and biomass chippers and grinders.
The company manufactures a range of jaw, impactor (both horizontal and vertical shaft) and cone crushers, as well as base crushers for integration within mobile, modular, and static plants.
Jaw crushers are used for crushing larger rock, primarily at the quarry face or on recycling duties. Applications include hard rock, sand and gravel and recycled materials. Cone crushers are used in secondary and tertiary applications to reduce a number of materials, including quarry rock and riverbed gravel.
Horizontal shaft impactors are primary and secondary crushers. They are typically applied to reduce soft to medium hard materials, as well as recycled materials. Vertical shaft impactors are secondary and tertiary crushers that reduce material utilizing various rotor configurations and are highly adaptable to any application.
The company’s screening and feeder equipment includes:
Heavy duty inclined and horizontal screens and feeders, which are used in low to high tonnage applications and are available as either stationary or heavy-duty mobile equipment. Screens are used in all phases of plant design from handling quarried material to fine screening. Dry screening is used to process materials, such as sand, gravel, quarry rock, coal, ore, construction and demolition waste, soil, compost and wood chips.
Feeders are used to unload materials from hoppers and bulk material storage at controlled rates. They are available for applications ranging from primary feed hoppers to fine material bin unloading. The company’s range includes apron feeders, grizzly feeders and pan feeders.
Washing system products, including mobile and static wash plants incorporating separation, washing, scrubbing, dewatering and stockpiling. It manufactures mobile and stationary rinsing screens, scrubbing systems, sand screw dewaterers, bucket-wheel dewaterers, water management systems, hydrocyclone plants for efficient silt extraction and a range of stockpiling conveyors. Washing systems operate in the aggregates, recycling, mining, and industrial sands segments.
Wood processing, biomass and recycling equipment includes shredders, grinders, trommels, chippers and specialty systems. This equipment is used in, among other things, recycling, wood energy, green waste/construction, demolition recycling industries and pulp and paper. Robotic waste sorting equipment consists of smart robots, powered by AI software, designed to pick, sort and recycle waste. Tree care and vegetation management equipment includes chippers, mulchers, spider lifts and dedicated tree care handlers.
The company manufactures a range of conveyors which include tracked and wheeled mobile conveyors. Conveyors are mechanical machines used to transport and stockpile materials, such as aggregates and minerals after processing.
Specialty Equipment
The company manufactures material handlers, cranes, concrete mixer trucks, volumetric concrete mixers, concrete pavers and robotics waste sorting equipment.
Material handlers are designed for handling logs, scrap, recycling and other bulky materials with clamshell, magnet or grapple attachments.
Pick and carry cranes are designed for a wide variety of applications, including use at mine sites, large fabrication yards, building and construction sites and in machinery maintenance and installation. They combine highway road speed with all-terrain capability.
Rough terrain cranes move materials and equipment on rugged or uneven terrain and are often located on a single construction or work site for long periods. Rough terrain cranes cannot be driven on highways (other than in Italy) and accordingly must be transported by truck to the work site.
Tower cranes are often used in urban areas where space is constrained and in long-term or high-rise building sites. Tower cranes lift construction material and place the material at the point of use. It produces self-erecting, hammerhead, flat top, and luffing jib tower cranes.
Concrete mixer trucks are machines with a large revolving drum in which cement is mixed with other materials to make concrete. The company offers models with custom chassis with configurations from three to seven axles.
Volumetric concrete mixers provide make-to-order, mobile concrete delivery that eliminate concerns over delivery time between a concrete plant and a job site by delivering ingredients that are mixed locally and to the exact specifications of each job.
The company’s concrete pavers are used to finish bridges, canals, concrete streets, highways, and airport surfaces.
Aerial Work Platforms
Aerial work platform equipment positions workers and materials easily and quickly to elevated work areas, enhancing safety and productivity at height. These products have been developed as alternatives to scaffolding and ladders. It offers a variety of aerial lifts that are categorized into six product families: portable material lifts; portable aerial work platforms; trailer-mounted articulating booms; self-propelled articulating and self-propelled telescopic booms; and scissor lifts.
Portable material lifts are used primarily indoors in the construction, industrial, and theatrical markets.
Portable aerial work platforms are used primarily indoors in a variety of markets to perform overhead maintenance.
Trailer-mounted articulating booms are used both indoors and outdoors. They provide versatile reach, and they have the ability to be towed between job sites.
Self-propelled articulating booms are primarily used in construction and industrial applications, both indoors and outdoors. They feature lifting versatility with up, out and over position capabilities to access difficult to reach overhead areas.
Self-propelled telescopic booms are used outdoors in commercial, industrial and institutional construction, as well as highway and bridge maintenance projects.
Scissor lifts are used in indoor and outdoor applications in a variety of construction, industrial, institutional, and commercial settings.
Utility Equipment
The company’s utility products include digger derricks, insulated aerial devices and self-propelled articulating insulated booms. These products are used by electric utilities, tree care companies, telecommunications and cable companies, and the related construction industries, as well as by government organizations.
Digger derricks are insulated products used to dig holes, hoist, and set utility poles, as well as lift transformers and other materials at job sites near energized power lines.
Insulated aerial devices are used to elevate workers and material to work areas at the top of utility poles near energized transmission and distribution lines and for trimming trees near energized electrical lines, as well as for miscellaneous purposes, such as sign maintenance.
Self-propelled articulating insulated booms are used for substation work and other applications where electrical hazards exist, but use of a bucket truck is prohibitive.
Telehandlers
Telehandlers are used to move and place materials on residential and commercial construction sites and in the energy and infrastructure industries.
Services
