Terex Tech Tips

In 2021, the Terex Utilities Services Department shared 26 new tips, making a total of 169 tech tips available on the company’s website.

Terex Utilities regularly distributes Tech Tips about troubleshooting, inspecting, and maintaining aerial devices and digger derricks.

• The 26 new tips alone were downloaded more than 1,000 times.

“Based on frequently asked questions from customers, our service team writes these tips as supplemental information to Terex equipment maintenance manual. Designed for quick reference, some topics are specific to certain Terex Utilities models and others are more general in nature,” said Jason Julius, Technical Support and Training.

Each Tech Tip identifies what the service call is, the tools required, and which Terex Utilities models it applies to. In many cases, photos are also provided. “In addition, we are now integrating video into some of the new and existing tech tips to help demonstrate the topic,” said Julius.

“Whether it is useful tips or our integrated equipment and service dashboard Fleet Horizon, our goal is to provide comprehensive tools to help technicians get equipment back in service as quickly as possible,” he added.
