Terramac LLC, a manufacturer of rubber-track crawler carriers, has announced that Shafer Equipment LLC, its dealer in West Virginia, has added 12 Terramac RT9 crawler carrier units to its rental fleet in 2014, with plans for further expansion to continue to meet growing customer demands in the construction and pipeline industries.
Located in Clendenin, W.V., Shafer Equipment specializes in equipment sales, rentals, service and repair. A Terramac dealer since early 2013, the partnership with Shafer Equipment represents a key step in Terramac’s goal to become a global leader in crawler carrier sales and marketing.
“Shafer Equipment’s legacy of serving their customers’ needs is closely aligned with Terramac’s, so when the opportunity presented itself in 2013 to expand our brand in West Virginia with a well-respected equipment dealership, we seized it,” said Mike Crimaldi, CEO of Terramac LLC. “We’ve established a very successful relationship with Shafer Equipment, as evidenced by their rapidly growing fleet of RT9 crawler carriers.”
“We are committed to serving our customers through innovations and continuous improvements, and that commitment is evident in our partnership with Terramac,” said Barry Casto, general manager, Shafer Equipment. “Terramac has proven to be an excellent brand to represent, with a solid reputation for reliability, durability and performance. Expanding our current fleet of Terramac RT9 crawler carriers allows us to continue to accommodate projects of all sizes.”
With an operating weight of 26,000 lbs. (11,794 kg) and a maximum carrying capacity of 18,000 lbs. (8,165 kg), the Terramac RT9 is the largest mid-sized rubber track carrier that does not require special oversize permitting to transport the machine. Equipped with front and rear bolt-on connections, this multi-purpose carrier can accommodate various types of specialized equipment for the job at hand.
Available for sale or rent, the Terramac RT9 crawler carrier can be ordered from the factory with the correct body configuration to accept custom accessories.
