General Series

The strongest digger derrick in the transmission market - the Terex General 65 Max boasts greater capacities through all boom angles, but especially in the work zone. Whether the transmission crew needs low boom angles for digging holes and pulling a full auger flight of dirt, or unloading padmount transformers at high boom angles; the General 65 Max has superior lifting capacity in all positions. At zero degrees with the boom fully extended—which is the most challenging position to work from—the Terex General 65 Max digger derrick can lift nearly 2,000 pounds. It is important that a digger derrick can dig a hole, lift a full flight of dirt on the auger, and set the pole from one truck setup to keep crews productive. The General 65 Max leverages many Terex pioneered digger derrick design features such as trapezoidal dual hydraulic lift cylinders, which work to stabilize the boom during digging and rotating; a retractable rectangular boom; and filament wound fiberglass third boom section.

The Terex General 80 is known as the original digger truck to get the work done under the toughest working conditions. Both truck and track-mounted General Series digger derricks are core products for building and supporting the transmission grid. The General 80 leverages many Terex pioneered digger derrick design features such as trapezoidal dual hydraulic lift cylinders which work to stabilize the boom during digging and rotating; a retractable rectangular boom; and filament wound fiberglass third boom section.
