Terex – other mobile cranes and haulers with truck registration: AC and Demag-series cranes plus dump trucks, 315 to 480 kW, operating weights from 35.75 to 104.1 tonnes
This page gathers Terex machines registered as trucks over 7.5 tonnes, even though they are mobile cranes and haulers – visible in the model designations AC 220-5, AC 500-2 and Demag AC 80-2 for the cranes and FD3000 to FDC500SGL for the haulers. Terex traces back to an earthmoving business founded in 1933 that later belonged to General Motors' Euclid division before becoming an independent US-based construction-equipment group; in 2002 Terex took over Demag's mobile-crane division, building one of the industry's largest crane ranges. The AC range denotes all-terrain cranes, the number the approximate lifting capacity in tonnes, the suffix -2 or -5 the model generation.

The register lists here 64 versions with 315 to 480 kW from six- and eight-cylinder diesel engines of 7,201 to 16,000 cm³, operating weights from 35,750 to 104,100 kg, lengths from 11,490 to 19,295 mm and widths from 2,550 to 3,100 mm.
Mobile cranes of this class work in industrial and plant construction and wind-turbine erection, where their road registration as trucks allows travel between sites without a special transport permit; the FD-series haulers serve earthmoving and material transport in civil works and open-cast mining, where their high payload counts alongside comparatively compact dimensions.
On a used crane, the condition of the telescopic boom and hydraulic cylinders and the history of boom torsion count; on all vehicles, operating hours and the condition of axles and brakes given the high operating weight, and on the diesel engines the turbocharger and injection system; service and parts run through the Terex and Demag service network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
