erex recently announced that it has moved its

auger drill product line (formerly known as Tex-

oma) from Terex Mining to Terex Utilities. This

move is the result of the previously announced

sale of the Terex mining business to Bucyrus Interna-

tional. Production and engineering support for Terex

auger drills will now be handled in Watertown, S.Dak.,

while product and service support will be handled by

the extensive network of Terex Service Centers.

“These products complement our digger derrick and

aerial device products, and we will be able to leverage

product development, marketing, sales, channel devel-

opment, and product service and support for the auger

drill line,” said Terex Utility Products General Manager

Lee Jacobson. “Our sales and support channel has

become very familiar with this product over the years.”

“The alignment of the auger drill business within

the Utilities group of Terex provides our drill custom-

ers with a team of dedicated professionals that under-

stands the utility business and the importance of supe-

rior drilling products,” said Gary Rice, Product/Sales

Manager, Auger Drills. “We look forward to providing

an enhanced product offering while further strengthen-

ing the level of service and support that our customers

have come to expect.”

A cross-functional group of Terex team members

from all areas of the company worked to enable a

smooth transition, ensuring that parts and service

support levels were uninterrupted and that production

was in place to meet the needs of our customers. In

addition, their efforts allowed for complete training of

other team members whose functions will now include

responsibility for the auger drill product line.

ith ten years of industry-leading technology, Max-

Cell is one of the fastest-growing products in the

network construction industry. RUS accepted and

installed by the largest global telecommunications

companies, cable MSOs, and Fortune 500 companies, Max-

Cell allows companies to maximize their conduit space while

reducing total system cost.

MaxCell is a flexible, multi-celled fabric innerduct solution that conforms to the shape of cables placed with-

in, greatly reducing the wasted space associated with rigid innerduct. MaxCell reduces the number of conduits

required for new construction and eliminates the need for additional conduit in overlay applications. Plus, it

enables incremental cable deployment to match system requirements as they change.

MaxCell configurations include one-, two-, and three-cell designs for use in 1.25-inch or larger conduits, and

most are available in standard, riser, plenum, and detectable versions.

As a pioneer in fabric innerduct technology, MaxCell has the industry experience and know-how to develop

unique solutions for specific application issues. Whether an overbuild of an existing network or the deploy-

ment of cable in a new FTTH system, MaxCell can help you select the right product and right design to maxi-

mize the efficiency of your assets.

MaxCell can reduce material and labor costs, and installers and network engineers can cut conduit instal-

lation time and increase cable installation speed. More than 250 million raceway feet of MaxCell innerduct

technology have been successfully installed worldwide.
