Terex Side loader FAQ

The Terex factory in Italy has been producing side loaders for over 40 years; indeed the Fantuzzi models can be found working through the world.

We have a dedicated parts and distribution centre located in Manchester which is also home to our technical team.

The range starts at 3 tons and goes all the way through to 55tons.

No we make LPG and 80 volt electric side loaders up to 6 tons. Although we have made special 34 ton electrics!

Very, very robust chassis, formed where possible for incredible strength. Around 30% less welds than some competitors.
Extremely strong mast designed which manufactured for side loaders using Fantuzzi’s unique patented design. Side loaders continuously work with heavy lateral stress’s (i.e. long loads) many of our competitors use a fork lift truck mast, which is obviously cheaper to produce but has been design for different stress purposes. The mast should not be under estimated, with the Fantuzzi it is not an issue, it is certainly not a cost centre, with many of competitors it is a big cost centre.
Reliability and cost of operation. Many of our dealers have a great deal of experience running side loaders on contract many have run different manufactures side by side. They tell us that the Fantuzzi beats our competitors “hands down” in terms of reliability and cost of maintenance. In fact on many contracts we have been told that the Fantuzzi five year costs are half our competitors.
