Forklift-free moving

Terex, a leading manufacturer of heavy material processing equipment, produces a wide range of crushing machines, which can vary in weight from 10 up to 38 tonnes.

Terex, a leading manufacturer of
heavy material processing
equipment, produces a wide range of
crushing machines, which can vary
in weight from 10 up to 38 tonnes.
The crushers are moved through various stages of production using bogies on rails in the factory floor.
Due to the weight of the crushers, manoeuvring the bogies can be quite a challenge: "Prior to investing in MasterMover's MasterTug MT20 machines, we were having to push and pull the bogies along the tracks using forklifts. Obviously, we wanted to look at another viable option," said Simon Croker, general manager.
The MasterTug MT20-1500 was identified as the most suitable machine for moving the bogies. It can pull, push and steer wheeled loads from 50kg up to 25,000kg.
Terex purchased two MT20s in June 2012.
