Terex Trucks, which was fully acquired by Volvo Construction Equipment, Sweden in June 2014, has appointed Babcock International as the official distributor of its rigid and articulated haulers in Southern Africa. In addition to supplying new machines, Babcock will also provide parts and other essential aftermarket support services to customers in South Africa and neighbouring countries.
The Middleburg branch has been designed with large work bays that will accommodate trucks up to 100 t.
Headquartered in Motherwell, Scotland, UK, Terex Trucks is a manufacturer of off-highway rigid and articulated trucks that are used in mining, quarry and construction applications around the world. The Volvo acquisition, which includes ranges of rigid dump trucks with payloads from 32 to 91 t and articulated dump trucks from 25 to 38 t payloads, will greatly complement the other Volvo Construction Equipment products that Babcock represents.
Babcock is well geared to incorporate the Terex Trucks business into their current infrastructure, especially with the opening of their state-of-the-art branch in Middelburg which will serve as the head office for the Terex Trucks brand.
