The company says that key markets and applications that will be served by ProStack include aggregates, mining, recycling, agriculture, ports & terminals and many other bulk material handling industries.
The ProStack launch portfolio consists of Terex’s bulk reception feeder range and its telescopic conveyor range, both designed to include a range of options to tailor these machines to meet customer demands.
Terex Materials Processing president Kieran Hegarty said Terex’s Fuchs material handlers business is developing and its products are now being used in river and sea terminals.
He added that the ProStack brand has been created as there is an opportunity for Terex to leverage some of its product knowledge and the distribution channels it has to further develop its presence in bulk material handling and product stockpiling.
The new brand’s products will compete with bulk handling equipment from suppliers such as Thor, Astec, Saxlund and Superior Industries. “We want to appeal to market segments that we don’t really reach at the moment,” said Hegarty, explaining the reasoning behind the new brand.
Terex says that high performance is at the heart of the ProStack brand and, as new products are developed, the focus will be on cost effectively moving the most amount of material in the shortest time possible.
Hegarty added that the small materials handling plant produced by Terex businesses such as Powerscreen and Terex Finlay will remain under those brands.
The ProStack products will be manufactured in existing Terex MP Centres of Excellence in Northern Ireland with additional support and service from facilities in North America and India.
