Terex Construction America announced Cowin Equipment Company Inc. as the authorized distributor of Terex Fuchs material handlers for the state of Alabama, northern Georgia and Florida’s Panhandle.

Fuchs announced Cowin Equipment Company Inc. as the authorized distributor of Fuchs Fuchs material handlers for the state of Alabama, northern Georgia and Florida's Panhandle. Cowin Equipment blankets this territory with seven locations and offers sales, rental, parts and service support for the full Fuchs Fuchs equipment line, purpose-built to increase operating efficiencies for the portside, scrap, recycling, waste and logging markets.

“Cowin Equipment is an integral part of this market providing equipment solutions to its customers for more than 75 years,” said Mike Smith, regional sales manager of Fuchs Fuchs material handlers. “The company's extensive pedigree with steel mills and scrap yards will help increase coverage to our core market base, and the material handlers will give Cowin more equipment solutions to help boost operating efficiencies with their existing logging and port customers.”

Purpose-built to deliver reliable operation, even with continuous operation in extreme applications, Fuchs material handlers provide high lift capacities, 27 to 80 ft. (8.2 to 21.9 m) working radii and operating weights from 41,888 to 191,800 lbs.

“ Fuchs handlers,” according to the Cowin management team, “are the perfect complement to our existing lines of generators, shears, magnets and wheel loaders already offered to our customers.”

Family-owned since 1938, Cowin Equipment employs a “hybrid” strategy of equal emphasis on sales and rental, combined with a total commitment to product support to ensure customers get the most from their equipment. The distributor offers local support for its Alabama customers from its Birmingham headquarters and four branch locations in Mobile, Montgomery, Huntsville/ Decatur and Oxford. Cowin Equipment also operates branch locations in Pensacola, Fla., and Atlanta, Ga.
