Terex exhibited several utility products plus the new Crossover 4500L boom truck and the updated Genie 5519 telehandler in its booth last week at ICUEE. The featured utility products included the Tru-Level tilting pedestal system, General 80 digger derrick, and Hi-Ranger TM 100 Aerial device. The Tru-Level tilting pedestal accommodates “real world” truck positioning by allowing the aerial device pedestal to be leveled when its truck is set up on a slope of up to 20°. The Tru-Level pedestal decreases stress on the aerial lift’s swing system by eliminating the need to swing “uphill”, and it also cuts setup time by eliminating the need to crib the truck’s outriggers.
Terex Cranes introduced its Crossover 4500L, a 45-ton capacity boom truck that offers longer boom and boom-and-jib combinations than the standard Crossover 4500, plus the ability to attach a two-person work platform to either the boom top or the jib point. One key target market is high-line construction, where the Crossover 4500L could let a contractor use just one machine to lift both components and people, as needed. Maximum boom length is 129 ft., and the maximum boom-and-jib combination gives a tip height of 183 ft. Terex says the Crossover 4500L offers 25% higher capacity at most boom lengths and radii than any other boom truck in the 45-ton class. By November, Terex expects to have a four-function remote control that will let an operator run the crane’s upperworks from the aerial work platform.
