Maschinenbau Rehnen is the latest addition to Terex Trucks’ German dealer network. The family-run company was established in the 1960s and has since gone onto become a major player in the German construction market. It has three branches – in Heede, Georgsheil and Unna – and employs 50 people including mechanics, engineers and foreign trade clerks. “Our workforce spans several generations, which is partly why we’ve been able to grow so significantly over the years,” says Heinz-Hermann Rehnen, the company’s general manager. “Our long-term employees bring a lot of knowledge and expertise, whereas our younger employees bring fresh ideas and innovative thinking.”
“As a company, we’re committed to environmentally friendly technical solutions, which is a goal we share with Terex Trucks,” continues Rehnen. “I think that’s one of the reasons Terex Trucks decided to sign us up – we were a natural choice and will work hard to make their haulers a staple purchase among our customers.”
“Maschinenbau Rehnen has a big share of one of the strongest, most prestigious markets for construction equipment,” says Guy Wilson, global sales director for Terex Trucks. “We’re thrilled to have them on board. As a Terex Trucks dealer, they will be covering the north of Germany.”
As well as having expertise and a talented workforce, Maschinenbau Rehnen also has the benefit of working in one of Europe’s strongest construction markets. Germany is currently battling with an extreme shortage of affordable homes, which has led to a surge in residential construction. The government has set aside more than €5 billion to help tackle the problem. Real estate isn’t the only area in which Germany is investing its money, though – infrastructure is also a top priority. In fact, state spending on infrastructure has been a central focus for some years now – in 2015, the government allocated €7 billion to help fund large-scale infrastructure projects. With Germany being such a hotbed for construction, Terex Trucks is keen to expand and strengthen its presence throughout the country.
Maschinenbau Rehnen will be selling both of Terex Trucks’ articulated haulers – the TA300 and TA400 – as well as providing customers with spare parts, after-sale support and repairs. The TA300 has a maximum payload of 28 tonnes, a maximum torque of 1,880Nm, a heaped capacity of 17.5m³ and can achieve 276kW gross power. This, together with its
With a maximum payload of 10 tonnes higher than the TA300, the TA400 is the most powerful articulated hauler on offer from Terex Trucks. It is a popular choice among customers working on quarries, mines and steep inclines. The heavyweight hauler is capable of lifting up to 38 tonnes and has a maximum torque of 2,100Nm. The TA400 also has a heaped capacity of 23.3m³ and is fitted with an Allison HD4560 transmission, which boasts high performance oil and extends the time between service intervals to 6,000 hours.
