Aurubis AG chooses
Terberg Container Carrier
over conventional truck
Aurubis AG is a leading worldwide provider
of non-ferrous metals and the largest copper
recycler worldwide. In 2006 the Lünen site
invested in a YT222 Container Carrier with
double rear axle (6x4). This vehicle is still used
daily to handle containers weighing as much
as 40 tonnes, making up to 140 cycles per day.
CC more durable
The Lünen plant also used a conventional
truck with hooklift system for container
handling. However, the heavy loads resulted
in deformation and cracking of the chassis.
Hence the site has now ordered another
Terberg YT222 Container Carrier to replace
this vehicle.
