TEREX SHOWS ITS STRENGH AT
THE 2011 CONEXPO
With a booth filled
with novelties for all
segments, Terex has
shown all
its variety and
technological capacity
02
T
he Conexpo-Con/AGG is
one of the most important
international exhibitions for
the construction industries during
which, traditionally, the latest
novelties in terms of technology,
services and products for the
segment are presented. In 2011,
the exhibition was held between
March 22nd and March 26th, in
Las Vegas, USA, counting with
over 2 thousand exhibitors, and
an estimated audience
of over 140 thousand
visitors.
Once again, Terex has
actively participated
in Conexpo, where it
presented equipment
from all the segments it
operates in. Located at
the external area of Gold
Lot, at the Las Vegas
Convention Center, the
company's booth was
one of busiest ones.
One of the notabilities
of the exhibition was on
account of Terex Cranes,
which showed seven
products: the Crossover 6000
Boom-truck, the
T100 Truck Crane , the RT100
Off-road Crane - with a special
update, the 16BT 28106 Boom
Truck,
the AC350/6 All Terrain Truck, the
HC165 Tracked Hydraulic Crane
and the SK 415-20 Tower Crane.
Customers could also meet a few
"stars" by Powerscreen, one of the
key worldwide suppliers of mobile
equipment for crushing, screening
and washing. The company
featured its successful products,
such as the Powerscreen®
XH500, Powerscreen® XH320SR,
Powerscreen® XA400S and
Powerscreen® Warrior 2400.
As to the construction equipment
segment, the notability was on
account of the TSR80 and TSV70
Wheeled mini-loaders, with radial
& vertical lift, ranging from 50
hp to 80 hp. They have come to
complete the Terex compact family,
which is being launched in Brazil.
The TL310 loader, with a 3.1 m³ to
4.2 m³ bucket, was also featured at
the Conexpo.

This larger sized machine proves
that Terex has the technological
answer for all market demands.
The aerial platforms segment
launched several equipment, such
as the AL4L and AL5L lighting
towers, battery and LED lights
driven, the GS2669RT, GS3369RT
and GS4069RT scissors-type aerial
platforms, the full kit for scissors to
work on maintenance of airplanes,
and the S-3200 and S-3800
telescopic booms, with 32 m and
38 meters, respectively (made

Terex closed its participation in
2011 Conexpo with great success.
Sales volume amounted to US$175
million and over 11,400 visitors
came to the company's booth.
There was a strong presence of
customers from South America,
who went to Las Vegas to value the
event and who expressed a great
interest on the equipment exhibited.
This caused a great repercussion
for the Terex brand. ■

CONSTRUCTION
A WELCOME AID
In a solidarity partnership, Terex and Tauron worked together in Franco
da Rocha City’s recovery works. The city suffered from flood with large
proportions
A
t the beginning of the year,
strong rains fell on various
regions across the country,
thus causing damages to some
cities. One of the most damaged
cities was Franco da Rocha,
located at the metropolitan area of
São Paulo area. The city remained
flooded for three days, thus causing
serious problems for most of its
inhabitants. With the increase to
Paiva Castro Dam's outflow and
the consequent opening of the
floodgates, the situation worsened
even more, leaving various
neighborhoods submersed.
In face of such a heartbreaking
scenario, however, the solution
always comes from solidarity
means. In order to help Franco da
Rocha City Hall with the recovery
works, Terex Latin America made
a partnership with Tauron, a
Terex equipment dealer for the
construction segment. Together,
they made it possible to send three
equipment from Terex compact
family to perform the cleaning works
on Ribeirão Eusébio channel, which
crosses the city.
The city got two tracked miniloaders, PT-50 model, each with
operational capacity of 862 kg
load, besides a TX 760B backhoe,
for 8 tons, 4WD. Terex compact
04
machines worked in a compelling
manner, driven by three operators
from Tauron. The location is of
difficult access and the terrain has
been quite impaired by the heavy
rains, which ended up worsening
the work conditions. However,
within the staves of the channeled
part, where large sized machines
would not be able to work, Terex
compact can do a great job.
"Nowadays, the channel does
not provide the necessary outflow
and a bit stronger rain might flood
part of the city again. With Terex
machines we have the ideal solution
to enter difficult access areas and
perform the cleaning that will benefit
the whole town", says Oscar de
Oliveira, engineer, Franco da Rocha
City Works Director.
Cooperating with Franco
da Rocha City was a grateful
experience, both for Terex and
Tauron, which is in perfect tune with
Terex Way principles - the Terex way
to work. Márcio Cecchettini, the
mayor, recognized the help provided
and sent a thank you letter on behalf
of the city. On the other hand,
the experience of working in such
important work for the recovery of
that city has served to prove Terex
compact line's productive capacity
and versatility. ■

CR ANE S
AGILITY FOR
CIMENTOS ITAMBÉ
With the aid of Terex SK415-20 crane, Cimentos
Itambé reduces the term the execution of its plant
enlargement works
C
ia de Cimentos Itambé is
one of the main companies
within the cement segment
in the South Region. It provides
products, services and quality
technical support for construction
companies, resellers, concrete
makers, fiber-cement and cement
articles industries. To cope with the
increasing demand for its products,
Itambé is enlarging its production
unit in Balsa Nova, within the
metropolitan region of Curitiba, PR.
In order to speed up the works
at the work site, the company
relies on Terex SK415-20 crane,
with maximum capacity of 20 tons.
The current crane height is for 65
meters. However, as the construction
work evolves, the crane will be
"telescoped" so as to increase
its size, up to a final height of 120
meters.
The crane is mostly being used to
move cargoes such as iron fittings
for the internal framing of concrete
columns and beams, wood plates for
columns and scaffolds molds, etc.
06
The crane also moves the concrete
buckets used for the filling of
columns and beams.
The company that rents and
operates the crane set up at
Itambé plant is Locar Guindastes
e Transportes Intermodais. With
headquarters in Guarulhos, São
Paulo, it has been in the segment
of special transportation since
1988, being the largest company
in Latin America for cargo lifting
by cranes. Large petrochemicals,
mining, hydroelectric, metallurgy and
assembler companies are among its
clients. The crane operator, Sidney,
lays great emphasis on the equipment
quality. "Besides being really good
to operate it, this crane provides you
with safety upon operation and is
real quick for the
work execution."
Actually,
rapidity is one of
the strengths of
the equipment,
as explains
Benhur Lemos,
Civil Engineering
Consultant of
the work. "This
crane increased
a lot our work
efficiency since,
without it, it
would take us
90 days to build one of the baseline
of the work. With the crane we have
accomplished it in only 20 days",
concludes Benhur. ■
PL ATFORMS
ADVANTAGES
FOR CIVIL
CONSTRUCTION
Relying on Genie's aerial work platforms,
construction companies in Manaus gain
productivity on painting services
and are able to comply with the work
delivery schedule.
T
he civil construction segments
has already realized that it
may profit, and a lot, from
Genie aerial platforms’ aid. To
that extent, ENTEC - Longhi &
CIA, in Manaus, AM, is having an
excellent experience. The company
specializes in rendering services for
the civil construction and industrial
segments. The search for aerial
platforms to perform services at
work sites has increased, specially
due to the agility, safety and ease of
use that this sort of equipment may
provide.
Reginaldo Francisco Junior, Trade
Manager to ENTEC, explains that
the company has been gaining key
clients in this area, mentioning, as
an example, the construction work
of 4,000 popular apartments that
is being carried out in Manaus.
"We have already made available
the rental of two GS-3268 Genie's
platforms and also of a Genie's
telescopic handler. The platforms
are deployed for the painting of the
buildings’ external walls", informs.
ENTEC clients’ productivity gain
can be easily measured. Now, with
the use of a Genie's platform, the
painting team takes only 24 minutes
to paint a wall, performing the whole
service with full safety. In case a
scaffold was being used instead, it
should be included the time spent
with assembly and disassembly
of the tool, which would make
impracticable to deliver the work
within the agreed term. The final
bottleneck would lie exactly on the
painting services.
ENTEC, which has been in
the market since the 70's, is
continuously updating its fleet
of equipment and is concerned
to always look for what is most
modern in the market. A pioneer in
Manaus region, the company rents
from manual tools to cranes and
platforms, among other equipment.
The goal is to ensure the maximum
safety, performance and economy
for its clients. ■

ROADBUILDING
DEALERS MEET
IN PORTO ALEGRE
The theme of choice for 2010 Dealer Meeting was navigation and it proved the
relevance of planning for success in the business world
B
etween November 24th
and 26th, 2010, Terex
Roadbuilding LA gathered
its dealers for an annual training in
Porto Alegre. The traditional Dealer
Meeting's team was navigation.
Making a comparison between
the sea the business world, where
accuracy and planning are essential
to face day-to-day issues, Terex
welcome 34 dealers from Brazil,
South America and Africa.
The meeting counted with an
intense program focused on the
diffusion of novelties, such as the
spare parts unit
and new work
tools,and for the
introduction of the
machines that are
being launched
for Terex portfolio.
Besides that, the
Dealer Meeting
also had room
for discussions
on the roadbuilding market
trends and for the
recognition of Terex
representatives
who stood out along 2009.
The great hit of the meeting was
the lecture by David Schurmann,
CEO for Schurmann Family,
known for leaving an easy life in
the mainland to venture on a turn
around the world on board of a
sailboat. David talked about the
most important lesson learned from
the adventure: the relevance of a
well planned project, performed
with motivation, the synergy and the
team-work needed for the success
of any enterprise. "This meeting
among dealers has been set to
perfectly match format and content.
Navigation was the conducting wire
leading to the presentation of key
information for our representatives.
This was a different manner we
found to transmit our message",
said the Sales, Marketing and
Post-sales Director for Terex
Roadbuilding LA, Gilvan Pereira.
This opinion is shared among those
who participated in the Event, such
as José Merinsky, from Venezuela at
Rimcov:
"This has been a great
experience. Very interesting. Ideal to
get and update
knowledge
and exchange
experiences with
other dealers."
"Excellent
organization,
interesting
content, positive
projection and
knowledgeable
speakers"", as
summed up
Ernesto Gehre,
from Taguato, in
Paraguay. ■
