With more than 45 unique product models, the Terex compact equipment line offers a wide range of compact equipment from a single manufacturer, giving contractors numerous options for their equipment investment. In addition, Terex parts and service, and Terex Financial Services, are available to customers who purchase Terex equipment. Terex Financial Services offers a wide range of effective finance and leasing solutions, structured to complement customers’ cash flow and budgets.

Through Dec. 31, 2009, dealers who distribute ASV products only, and will not eventually become Terex dealers, will continue to offer these machines under the ASV brand. Effective Jan. 1, 2009, all current ASV products will also be branded “Terex” and will join the North American Terex compact equipment line. In the interim, customer events and media coverage that features both Terex and ASV-branded products will be promoted as Terex ASV.

“By combining Terex Construction’s broad line-up of compact products and services with our innovative compact track loaders featuring our patented Posi-Track undercarriage system, we are able to provide an exceptional ownership experience,” said Del Carver, area director, Terex North America Compact Equipment.
