TEREX® BACKHOE: FANTASTIC AT FIFTY

MOTHERWELL, SCOTLAND, 12th May 2009 – Celebrations are underway at Terex to commemorate the 50-year heritage of the Company’s backhoe loader. With half a century of hard work, research, and innovative design under its belt, the Terex® machine is storming over the proverbial hill to give customers even more for their investment in 2009.

Customers can join in through special 50th anniversary promotions; including aggressive finance offers, competitive product pricing and limited edition fiftieth anniversary models. There will also be a Backhoe Loader Demonstration Day on the 29th and 30th April where visitors will have the opportunity to operate the newest models and view historical loaders from the past 50 years.

The Terex® backhoe is renowned for its versatility on the job site and counts plant hire operators, construction companies, farmers and horticulturalists among its customers. With its high-performance wheel loader capabilities and reliable excavator functionality, the Terex® backhoe loader increases productivity on the job and cuts operating costs by offering one machine that does the work of two. A range of buckets and attachments such as hydraulic breakers, augers, pallet forks, high tip loader buckets and broom buckets increases its versatility even further.

Jon Beckley, Terex Product Manager for Backhoes, says, “2009 marks a special time in the life of the Terex® backhoe. The backhoe is one of our flagship products and is regarded as a vital tool by many in the industry because of its versatility and productivity. We’d like to take this opportunity to show our customers where we’ve come from and where we’re planning to go, as we begin to update our range for the next decade.”
