Buy new and used Terex construction machinery – a wide selection of mini-excavators, wheel loaders and dumpers direct from specialist dealers. We mainly stock used Terex compact machinery: TC-series mini-excavators, TL-series wheel loaders and TA-series dumpers manufactured in the UK, plus a selection of specialised machines – each listing includes the year of manufacture, operating hours, operating weight or payload and specifications. Supplied by Bontebok Trading from the Netherlands and Kraus Baumaschinen from Frankenthal; stock is constantly changing. Important to note: New compact excavators and compact wheel loaders are no longer available under the Terex name in Europe – the successor models are now marketed under other brands, with spare parts and servicing provided through their respective networks.
Terex at a glance
Terex’s roots lie with the dump truck manufacturer Euclid, founded in 1933 by George A. Armington and acquired by General Motors in 1953. GM created the Terex brand name in 1968 – a combination of the Latin words ‘terra’ (earth) and ‘rex’ (king). Today’s Terex Corporation is based in Norwalk (Connecticut, USA); in 2025 it generated a turnover of around 5.4 billion US dollars and employed around 11,400 people in 2024. The group comprises Genie’s aerial work platforms, materials processing with Powerscreen, Terex Finlay and EvoQuip, the material-handling machines from Terex Fuchs (Bad Schönborn plant) and, since October 2024, the Environmental Solutions Group (Heil, Marathon). In early 2026, Terex completed its merger with the REV Group.
The history of compact machinery is crucial for the second-hand market: In the early 2000s, Terex acquired the manufacturer Schaeff (founded in 1937 by Karl Schaeff), whose mini-excavators, wheel loaders and mobile excavators were henceforth produced as Terex TC and TL models at the Crailsheim plant. In 2016, Terex sold its European compact machinery business, including the Crailsheim plant, to Yanmar. The British subsidiary in Coventry (formerly Fermec and Benford), which produced backhoe loaders, dumpers and rollers, was sold to Mecalac at the end of 2016; Mecalac continues to manufacture the TA dumpers.

What the Terex model designation reveals
For compact machines, the name follows a simple principle: the letters indicate the model type, whilst the number denotes the size. TC stands for mini-excavators; the number roughly corresponds to the operating weight in 100 kg – a TC35 weighs around 3.5 t, a TC48 just under 4.7 t. TL refers to wheel loaders; here, the number corresponds to the bucket capacity: TL80 = 0.8 m³, TL100 = 1.0 m³, TL160 = 1.6 m³. For the TA series dumpers, the number indicates the payload in tonnes – a TA6 carries 6 t, a TA9 9 t. Older Benford dumpers have four-digit designations such as PT 9000 or PS 3000, in which the payload is given in kilograms. Letter suffixes such as S, H or E indicate equipment variants; it is best to check the type plate and documentation to clarify exactly which ones these are.
| Model | Data | Typical application |
|---|---|---|
| TC16 / TC20 | approx. 1.65–1.95 t operating weight | Gardening and landscaping, domestic connections |
| TC35 / TC37 | approx. 3.5–3.6 t | Pipeline and sewer construction, all-rounder in civil engineering |
| TC48 / TC50 | approx. 4.7–4.8 t | Excavation pits, sewer construction, heavier attachments |
| TC75 | The largest of the commonly traded TC excavators; weight as per advert | Earthworks, road and sewer construction |
| TL80 | approx. 4.9 t, bucket capacity 0.8 m³ | Farm, building yard, gardening and landscaping |
| TL100 / TL120 | approx. 5.7–7.0 t, bucket 1.0–1.2 m³ | Building materials trade, local authorities, agriculture |
| TL160 | approx. 9.2 t, bucket capacity 1.6 m³ | Earthworks, recycling centres, bulk materials |
| TA6 / TA6s | 6 t payload, approx. 4.2–4.4 t kerb weight | Earthmoving on construction sites, civil engineering |
| TA9 | 9 t payload, approx. 4.8–4.9 t kerb weight | Larger earthworks sites, road construction |
What we look for in a used Terex
Spare parts and model range: Terex compact machines have not been manufactured under this name since 2016. Check that the year of manufacture and serial number on the type plate match those in the advert – this determines whether parts are sourced via the Yanmar or Mecalac network or from the independent parts market.
Undercarriage, pins and hydraulics on TC excavators: check the rubber tracks, track rollers and idler wheels; measure the play in the bucket, boom and dipper pins as well as on the swing bracket. Inspect hydraulic cylinders for leaks and hoses for signs of chafing.
Articulation joint and drive system on TL wheel loaders: Check for play in the articulation joint and at the lift mast bearings; ensure smooth acceleration and braking; inspect the condition of tyres and the quick-change coupler. The bucket size should match the model designation.
Body, steering and brakes on TA dumpers: Dumpers work hard – check the body for cracks and warping, as well as the body bearings, tipping cylinder, articulation joint, brakes and roll bar. For Germany, ensure proof of UVV compliance is provided.

Frequently asked questions about Terex construction machinery
Are Terex mini-excavators and wheel loaders still available new?
Not under that name in Europe any more. Terex sold its European compact machinery business, including the Crailsheim plant, to Yanmar in 2016; Yanmar wheel loaders and mobile excavators are now manufactured there. Second-hand Terex TC and TL models are still available on the market.
What do TC, TL and TA stand for at Terex?
TC stands for mini-excavators, TL for wheel loaders, and TA for construction site dumpers. For the TC series, the number roughly indicates the weight in 100 kg; for the TL series, it corresponds to the bucket capacity (TL80 = 0.8 m³); and for the TA series, it indicates the payload in tonnes (TA9 = 9 t).
What is the connection between Terex and Schaeff?
Terex took over Schaeff, a manufacturer founded in 1937, in the early 2000s and continued to build its compact machines in Crailsheim under the Terex brand. Consequently, older Terex compact machines are based on designs from the Schaeff era.
Who manufactures the Terex dumpers today?
The British Terex subsidiary in Coventry, which emerged from a merger of Fermec and Benford, was acquired by Mecalac at the end of 2016. Mecalac continues to produce the TA dumpers, such as the TA3.5; older machines are still marketed as Benford.
Which Terex machines are most commonly traded on the second-hand market?
On the major second-hand portals, the TL80 wheel loader and the TA6 and TA9 dumpers lead the way, whilst the TC48, TC35 and TC75 are the most popular mini-excavators. These are joined by the TL100, TL120 and TL160.
Does Terex still manufacture construction machinery?
Yes, but in other sectors: mobile crushing and screening plants (Terex Finlay, Powerscreen), material handlers from Terex Fuchs in Bad Schönborn, and Genie-branded aerial work platforms. The large dump trucks were sold to Volvo in 2013.
How many operating hours are acceptable for a second-hand Terex?
Provided there is a record of maintenance, 3,000 to 5,000 hours is no problem for mini-excavators and compact wheel loaders. More important than the number of hours are the undercarriage, bolt play, articulated joint and hydraulics – and, in the case of dumpers, the condition of the tipper body and brakes.
Can I lease a Terex machine or finance it via hire purchase?
For many listings – both new and used – you can submit a non-binding leasing or hire-purchase enquiry directly. You can discuss the terms with the dealer or their finance partner; the purchase and payment are handled directly between you and the seller.
