Terex/Advance mixers

[james j neiweem]

Volvo owns Terex off road machinery( now called Rokpac I believe). But I am not sure if they own Advance concrete mixer trucks built in Indiana. Hard to keep track of all of this heavy machinery ownership.😀

I don't think Volvo owns them? I think they just bought the articulated dump truck line?

Last I saw Terex does still exist? I think they are just more into the crushing and screening equipment now?

Not sure if they still have their crane division or if they sold it off?

[Bullheaded]

Their crane web site is still current. So they must have kept that.

[Bullheaded]

Yep, they still have Advance.

The Pick And Carry Cranes are interesting.

Terex/Advance is about 13 miles from my house. Their property butts up to a golf course that I used to play at often therefore I have made many a trip onto the property to retrieve golf balls.

I also have hauled chassis' in and out of there when I had my wrecker service and have hauled drums for them when I was flatbedding.

The picture is of a concrete pump chassis going to the Mack dealer for driveshaft work.  You'd never believe just how heavy it was! The front bumper on that old Ford had 1,000# of steel shot in it and I still had to "brake steer" and let the clutch out VERY slowly if I wanted to keep the steer on the ground...

That's a cool pic.

Thank you. That was taken on their driveway. The golf course is behind it.

So who owns Terex now America or Europe?

[james j neiweem]

Volvo bought Terex's off road. Terex an American company still owns Advance mixers from what I can gather.

You can see it's getting a little light on the steers.  Wow!  You'd never know from looking at that chassis that it was that heavy.
