‘Dirty Jobs' Host to Appear at Terex's ConExpo Booth

March 3, 2008 • Westport, Conn.-based Terex Corporation will display a diverse array of both new and improved products at next week's ConExpo. Visitors to the booth (G-200) will also have the opportunity to meet Mike Rowe, creator and star of the Discovery Channel® hit series “Dirty Jobs.” Rowe will be featured at the Terex booth March 11-13. By serving as an apprentice to everyday men and women who perform the jobs no one else wants, Rowe has found a hands-on way to pay tribute to a nation of unsung heroes, and get more than a few laughs along the way.

Among the Terex product highlights at ConExpo are the new Genie® S™-60 and S™-65 Trax telescopic booms that offer operators exceptional traction and flotation for easy maneuvering around jobsites, even on challenging terrain. Because of their innovative design, Genie® Trax booms also allow contractors to operate on sensitive surfaces year-round.

 

The Genie® GTH™-5519 Telehandler has been re-engineered to improve performance and serviceability while keeping the machine affordable and simple to use. Enhancements include a new cab, new engine options and an easy-to-service hydraulic system.

 
The Terex® Demag AC 100/4 all-terrain crane will also be on display for the first time in the U.S. market. It is currently the strongest 120-ton, four-axle crane, according to the company. The AC100/4 has a system length of 252 feet, with a 164-foot telescopic boom plus 26 to 62 feet of main boom extension.
