Terex CTLH 192-12 Luffing Jib Tower Crane

Company History

Terex was founded as the Euclid Company in 1933 by George A. Armington. The firm’s initial mission was to build dump trucks. General Motors acquired Euclid in 1953, and in 1970 GM started to build crawlers, front-end loaders, and scrapers under the new Terex brand. After changing hands several times in the 1980s, the company became known as Terex Corporation in 1988.

In 1997, Terex purchased aerial work platform and digger derrick manufacturer Simon-Telelect. Two years later, Terex acquired Australian pick-and-carry crane maker Franna. In 2002, the company bought aerial work platform giant Genie, while in 2012 Terex acquired Italian luffing jib tower crane manufacturer Recom. The company sold its Material Handling and Port Solutions business to Konecranes in 2016, its Demag Mobile Cranes unit to Tadano in 2019, and some mobile cranes assets to Custom Truck, Inc. of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, that same year.

Today, Terex produces rough-terrain cranes in Crespellano, Italy, tower cranes in Fontanafredda, Italy, and—under the Franna brand—17- to 44-ton (15- to 40-metric-ton) pick-and-carry cranes in Brisbane, Australia.

Tower Cranes

Terex manufactures tower cranes in flat top, luffing jib, hammerhead, and self-erecting configurations. Its FC- and CTT-series flat-top tower cranes ranges in lifting capacity from 1.7 to 44.1 t (1.5 to 40 mt). Terex flat tops also cover a spectrum of maximum jib lengths from 78.7 to 279 feet (24 to 85 meters).

Terex’s luffing jib tower cranes make up its CTL series. Models are available with 11 to 73 t (10 to 66 mt) of lift capacity, including a 13.2-t (12-mt) CTLH hydraulic luffing model. The maximum jib lengths of CTL cranes range from 164 to 246.1 feet (50 to 75 m). Terex also fields a derrick-style luffing jib crane in the 17.6-t (16-mt) CDK 100-16.

The Terex SK series of hammerhead tower cranes covers the 22- to 35.3-ton (20- to 32-mt) sector of lift capacities. Their jib lengths top out at 262.5 ft (80 m). Meanwhile, the self-erecting tower cranes in the CBR and CSE series from Terex bring 1.8 to 4.85 t (1.6 to 4.4 mt) of lifting power and maximum jib lengths of 68.9 to 131.2 ft (21 to 40 m) to bear.

Rough-Terrain Cranes

The RT and TRT series comprise the rough-terrain crane offerings from Terex. Models in this mobile, wheeled product line range in lift capacity from 39 to 100 t (35 to 90 mt). Maximum tip heights for Terex RT and TRT cranes fall into the 125 to 217 ft (38 to 66 m) space.

Rough-terrain cranes from Terex have four steering modes, a powershift transmission, and a full-power boom that can telescope under load. The user can operate the boom, the two-speed winches, and the swing of the boom simultaneously. Low-effort electro-proportional joysticks and optional heating and air conditioning keep the operator comfortable throughout the shift.
