Innovative Power
with strong roots
Ever since the Company was set up in the year 1888, TEREX Fuchs has been a driving
force behind innovative solutions in mechanical engineering. In the course of its
110-year history, the Company has evolved from its roots as a handicrafts-based business
into an enterprise in the TEREX Group, where it is a specialist technology provider
and global player to be reckoned with on the world market for loading machines and
handling units.
Here, time and again, TEREX Fuchs has pointed the way forward with pioneering technical
solutions, writing its own piece of industrial history. More than 100 years of
experience in mechanical engineering and the most varied of production methods form
the basis for the tradition of continuous product improvement and further development
at TEREX Fuchs. The success of this corporate philosophy is reflected in surging
sales figures and in the steadily rising global distribution of its products, which are
now backed by strong logistics and spare-parts supply thanks to its integration into an
internationally operating Group. Worldwide, TEREX is now ranked no. 3 in the list of
global full liners, and the customers of TEREX Fuchs are benefiting from this position
on an increasing scale.
Still, the crucial factors behind the success of the products – as they were 100 years
ago in an age of hand-made individual production – are still the utility value of the units
and customer satisfaction. In this regard, TEREX Fuchs stands by its historical roots.
Just as the first mobile loading machines were designed to meet customers‘ need
for a robust easy-to-operate machine to tackle loading work and simple digging jobs,
customers find that the latest product developments for port handling jobs and in the
timber sector are a match for their day-to-day requirements. So, it is no accident that
the practical utility and the performance of TEREX Fuchs units are extraordinarily high,
particularly in the case of special applications.

Making Good Things
even Better
For the workforce at TEREX Fuchs, it is now virtually second nature to draw
only brief satisfaction from their good results. As soon as some machine works
glitch-free and performs as desired, the moment has normally come for TEREX
Fuchs to ponder whether things might not even be improved a bit more, perhaps
becoming a bit faster or a bit more frugal.
The result of this approach is worth writing home about: the performance of
the next-generation TEREX Fuchs loading machines has been significantly improved
yet again. Lifting capacities have been further optimized. Bigger undercarriages
make for even more stability and allow faster working motions and
greater lifts. A new geometry guarantees huge reaches, and better hydraulic
controls bring greater performance reserves and higher speeds and enable
even softer and more precise positioning of the load.
In the process, serviceability has been improved further thanks to simpler access,
while new micro filters have yet again lengthened oil-change intervals.
But it is not just the performance parameters that have been enhanced: new
engines with substantially reduced emission and consumption values also
make the new machines more environmentally friendly, which translates into
lower operating costs.
What is unchanged, however, is the proverbial handling quality and durability of
the machines and their easy-as-pie operation.

The quality of a machine is not only a matter of performance, however, but
also of availability. If a performer has downtimes smack in the middle of a job,
this is definitely annoying and, above all, expensive, so that quality has always
weighed heavily at TEREX Fuchs.
In this respect, TEREX Fuchs leaves nothing to chance. The entire production
process, from material procurement all the way to delivery and subsequent
trialling of the units, is subjected to continuous quality assurance and monitoring.
TEREX Fuchs meets the requirements of the quality standard DIN EN ISO
9001.
The quality-assurance process starts at the supplier already for incoming goods,
where each and every component undergoes close intake control and accompanies
every machine through all the various steps in production. In addition,
all components in every manufacturing stage are checked for functionality and
production quality until, finally, the entire unit is again subjected to a function
and performance test on a machine test rig.
Also, all hydraulic functions are put through their paces, until a thorough final
check of the machine gives the go-ahead for shipment.

Always open
For what‘s new
The role as specialized global player within the TEREX
network, with the steady extensions to its product range
and the continuous enlargement of its dealer base, is constantly
facing TEREX Fuchs with new challenges.
Of growing importance here is the question of communications
with dealers and customers in order, on the one
hand, to consistently further develop the product range in
line with practical needs and, on the other, to engage in
brand nurturing via PR measures by providing information,
as might be expected of a company this size. At TEREX
Fuchs, they appreciated early on that only exchanges with
dealers and customers can enable you to survive on the
market and develop the solutions required by practical operations.
For this reason, TEREX Fuchs has invested considerable
funds in training and information. A modern training and
information centre and new demonstration premises,
where regular dealer conferences and information events
are held, are a visible sign of the efforts that TEREX Fuchs
is making in this area.

Moving More
Everywhere
Since 1994, more than 6,000 loading machines have shipped worldwide to customers on all
continents via a steadily growing dealer base and TEREX‘s international distribution network.
As a specialist for innovative loading-machine technology, TEREX Fuchs offers a complete
range of universal machines in the areas of scrap handling, recycling, timber and port handling
as well as special applications. The product range consists of 7 mobile loading machines with
service weights from 19 to 77.5 t, engine outputs of between 84 to 248 kW and reaches from
10.4 to 21 m, designed to give max. performance and availability on scrap and recycling jobs.
For uneven ground, there are also two models on crawler tracks with service weights of 32.5
t and 40 t resp. and engine outputs of between 114 and 142 kW. For the timber sector, TEREX
Fuchs offers a complete range of 4 units in service weights from 23 to 33 t with an output of
between 112 and 165 kW, which are specifically tailored to the requirements of timber handling.
In addition, loading machines MHL 340, MHL 350 and MHL 360 are offered in a Fuchs
Quick-Connect FQC version for a multitude of jobs. With this, TEREX Fuchs offers an innovative,
efficient and proverbially reliable product range, covering every conceivable deployment in
the most varied of material-handling uses.

Moving more
in scrap handling
Jobs on scrap yards and at recycling facilities are not for
the faint-hearted. What matters here is handling capacity,
dependability and availability. The robust design and
long-lived components of TEREX Fuchs loading machines
and their by-now household stability offer crucial reserve
capacities.
With these reserves, full output can be achieved in everyday
deployment at all times even in extreme conditions.
This is ensured by powerful and tried-and-tested diesel
engines with ultra-modern motor management, fast and
responsive hydraulics with enormous lifting capacity and a
roomy driver cabin, setting standards on the market with
its comfort value. The hydraulically adjustable cab ensures
an optimal view of the work area and makes child‘s play of
feeding scrap shears and loading equipment.

Moving more
in timber handling
Operations at a timber yard or sawmill place heavy
demands on loading machines. Besides lifting capacity
and mobility, what is needed here first and
foremost is versatility. TEREX Fuchs loading machines
for timber handling are specially designed
for these specific requirements. The square design
of the undercarriage guarantees optimal stability
in all deployment situations when handling
round timber, while ensuring excellent manoeuvrability
coupled with high driving and curve-turning
strength. When it comes to the loading and
unloading of trucks and the pick-up of round timber
of various lengths for sawmill processes or
interim storage and the associated travel on the
timber yard ‚pick-&-carry‘ machines like the new
MHL 454 are the prime choice.
All-wheel steering and automatic steering control
with likewise automatic track control and automatic
correction ensure the highest-possible safety in
this respect.
Extra polder blades, which can be mounted to the
front or the rear of the chassis, permit quick clearance
of traffic routes and uncomplicated alignment
of the logs in the grab.
The MHL 460 is specially designed for traction operations
using a trailer and can load and unload the
trailer on its own without any uncoupling, and then
transport the material on as needed.
9

Moving more
in Port handling
For some time now, ports have increasingly been moving
on from traditional bulk handling functions to an ever-widening
range of complex services. Mobile loading machines
in this environment offer much greater deployment flexibility
than conventional stationary port handling units.
Contrasting with ship unloaders, portal and cable cranes,
TEREX Fuchs loading machines can be deployed at once,
can travel and are ready to go to work without any preparation.
Wherever general cargo and other loads must be picked
up and positioned with precision, mobile loading machines
offer definite advantages. Using hydraulic loading facilities,
bulk material, for example, can be picked up by a clamshell
grab directly at the ship‘s side avoiding any trimming of
the ship and set down on a heap spot-on, or also directly
into the body of a truck or another hull. Here, loading machines
specifically designed for port handling work, like
the MHL 585, have a reach of 21 m and permit unloading
even across high built ship‘s sides.
In this respect, the loading cycles can be precisely controlled
even with heavy loads and – relative to the loading cycles
of heavy-duty cable cranes – are a whole lot faster.
10

Moving more
thanks to optimal flexibility
Being a specialist for innovative handling units, TEREX
Fuchs offers a product range embodying the most varied
of handling concepts, which have been developed in close
cooperation with dealers and customers and designed for
the deployment situation concerned. Here, the practical
utility of the units and their constant availability in everyday
deployment are always to the fore.
The route toward solving a problem – as in the case of
the Fuchs Quick-Connect system – can consist in a much
broader deployment spectrum and greater mobility. But it
can also lead to a significant rise in output by focussing
on specialization, as in the case of stationary mounted
loading machines. What both solutions have in common is
the simple principle that our customers can expect optimal
performance from a TEREX Fuchs loading machine.
