REDMOND, WASH. (January 26, 2010) –The Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWP) segment
of Terex Corporation (NYSE:TEX) announced today that it has exited the generator
business as part of an overall strategic plan to focus on its core aerial
equipment business. As a result, Terex AWP has sold the Terex generator product
line to Cummins Power Generation for an undisclosed amount.
“At
this point in time, it makes sense for Terex AWP to focus on our core products,
such as Genie aerial lifts, telehandlers and light towers,” said Brad Allen,
Global General Manager of Scissors, Portables and Light Towers, Terex AWP. “The
Terex line of generators offers Cummins an opportunity to vertically integrate
and manufacture the same high-quality generators Terex has been private labeling
for them during the past several years.”
Terex models are among the industry’s most heavy-duty generators, offering a range of
power capacities from 30 KVA to 360 KVA. Features include enough capacity to
carry 24 hours of fuel on board, a heavy-duty trailer and consistent, accurate
voltage regulation.
Warranty
support for Cummins branded units will begin immediately. Warranty support for
Terex branded units will continue to the end of 2010. Parts support will be
supplied by Terex AWP for 180 days from date of sale, at which point Cummins
will assume parts support ownership.
