The deal is another in a series of moves Terex has made to help bring more focus to its product range. Garrison said, “After completion of this transaction with Load King and the sale of Demag Mobile Cranes to Tadano, Terex will remain in the rough terrain and tower crane businesses. We will fulfill global demand for rough terrain cranes from our Crespellano, Italy, facility, including the popular RT 100US and for tower cranes from our Fontanafredda, Italy, facility.
