GET, LLC is encouraged by words recently by Terex
Chairman and CEO Rob DeFeo who speaking
to Great Britain-based International Construction Magazine recently said that the company's
2014 prospects will be strong led by its lifting division Genie.
“From a financial point of view, fleets are old and there
is high utilization today," said DeFeo. "Used equipment values are
strong, and ultimately the customer base is planning well when it comes to
replacing fleet.”
DeFeo said the company would leverage its Genie aerial
platform business to increase sales to the rental channel and further adapt its
products – which include excavators and backhoe loaders – to the rental market.
“Our construction products are still too expensive and
too traditional”, he said, “Give us some time to adapt them and work with Genie
[for the rental channel]…I’d rather grow the business than walk away from the
business.”
Terex announced that the company would develop a range
of ‘channel specific’ backhoes and material handling products during 2014 and
2015 and as part of the rental growth strategy, Terex launched a ‘Direct to
Rental’ (D2R) program-that will see Genie to sell selected Terex Construction
products to its rental customers in North America, including backhoe loaders
and boom truck cranes from Terex Cranes.
We are going to be a part of Terex's 2014 growth and we
want you to come help us make it a successful year.
