The new maintenance workshops provided by Terex Utilities will involve hands-on training on the equipment in a shop setting.

Terex Utilities recently announced the offering of its new maintenance training workshops for mechanics working on Terex digger derricks and bucket trucks.

The first workshop will cover Hi-Ranger Optima bucket trucks and is scheduled for Jan. 28-30, 2025, in Watertown, S.D. A workshop on digger derricks is scheduled for March 4-6, 2025, also in Watertown.

"These workshops will focus on a single model, which gives the instructor flexibility to cover all aspects of the unit, while allowing technicians to perform the procedures themselves," said Kenny Vlasman, customer service manager. "We will put relevant parts in their hands during the discussions and will move the training out into the shop."

"The technical support team is always looking for ways to improve the training that we deliver," said Jason Julius, training and tech support. "Feedback from participants at our other trainings always includes the need for more hands-on activities during training, which makes sense because mechanics aren't used to sitting in a classroom for an entire day."

Subjects and activities planned for these workshops include understanding and using load charts; performing periodic inspections; troubleshooting PTO issues; changing the direction of a pump; and performing a leakage test on outriggers.

"Regardless of their experience level, the technicians will walk away with more knowledge and experience," Vlasman added. Current plans are to also schedule a Hi-Ranger aerial device workshop later in 2025.

"As we move forward, we will assess the demand and could possibly turn the workshops into a monthly rotation," said Julius.
