News is spreading about the benefits of the Terex® HyPower™ hybrid system, but people have questions and want to see proof. No problem. We hit the road capture video of a couple competitors’ units that have been retrofitted with our HyPower hybrid system and contacted owners and operators to get their feedback.

The video footage and customer feedback was fantastic. The video features both an Altec® and a Versalift® unit retrofitted to utilize our hybrid system. The video shows both units in action with the hybrid system running while customers talk about the benefits they’ve experienced like:

1. Quiet operation
2. Fuel efficiency
3. Easily rechargeable
4. Low exhaust emissions
5. Unimpeded performance
6. Savings

If you were, then I hope you had an opportunity to check out the Terex booth. If you weren’t, let’s fill you in on what you missed out on at the booth.
I know, in our last blog post, we had you scratching your head and asking yourself what could we bring to this year’s show? On Tuesday, March 6, everyone found out, it was our Terex® Hi-Ranger™ SCM55 Unit featuring the Terex® HyPower™ Hybrid System.
The Terex® HyPower™ system, a former Green Truck Award winner at the show, hogged the spotlight again and was the center of attention. The SCM unit was, by far, the largest “green” aerial device there! At the booth, Nick Cammisa and Dan Brenden, our technical experts, answered questions about the SCM55 unit and the Terex® HyPower™ system, and were supported by Dennis DePazza and Terry VanConant. Bill Kugler from our Terex Equipment Services group in Birmingham, AL was also at the booth to discuss the various services our service centers can provide for utility truck owners and operators.
This show is becoming more popular with the utility fleet managers due to the wide variety of equipment available to view. This creates a great atmosphere for the NTEA’s Work Truck Show attendees and exhibitors. Terex Utilities plans to continue exhibiting at this show annually.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has approved the Terex® HyPower™ hybrid system for use in any Power Take-Off-equipped (PTO) heavy-duty, diesel powered truck application with a gross vehicle weight rating of over 10,000 lbs. as meeting the requirements set forth in title 13, California Code of Regulations section 2485.

What does this mean for you?
The HyPower™ hybrid system is an approved system that allows heavy-duty, diesel-powered trucks to meet the strict emissions requirement for anti-idling in the state of California – the most stringent emissions control state in the United States.

Many states have adopted the qualifier of being either CARB or EPA certified as a requirement for contractors and fleet managers to bid on projects or request projects funding. CARB’s approval of the Terex® HyPower™ hybrid system means that contractors and fleet managers can purchase new trucks with the hybrid system preinstalled or retrofit older trucks to be compliant so they can pursue CARB or EPA-certified projects and funding opportunities.

CARB was established in 1967 to attain and maintain healthy air quality, conduct research into the causes of and solutions to air pollution, and to implement rules and regulations to reduce the major causes of air pollution – motor vehicles being one of the main causes.

The CARB recognizes the Terex HyPower™ hybrid system for its many benefits.  First, truck operators can perform their job without requiring the engine to be turned on when the HyPower™ system is operating – significantly reducing the amount of harmful exhaust emissions being produced.  Also, by reducing the amount of time the engine is on, engine noise is reduced.  The system also benefits truck owners and operators as it lowers the need for refueling and reduces the wear on engine components since the engine is not continually idling. The hybrid system can save up to 1,500 gallons of fuel per year based on 7,000 miles/year and 1,250 jobsite hours/year.  Finally, the HyPower™ hybrid system can be retrofitted onto older truck chassis, resulting in a cost-effective solution to help truck owners and fleet managers extend the service life of their truck fleet while being CARB compliant.

The New Terex® SCM55 Incorporating the Terex® HyPower™ Hybrid System http://www.terexhypower.com/environment/unveiled-the-new-terex%c2%ae-scm55-incorporating-the-terex%c2%ae-hypower%e2%84%a2-hybrid-system/ http://www.terexhypower.com/environment/unveiled-the-new-terex%c2%ae-scm55-incorporating-the-terex%c2%ae-hypower%e2%84%a2-hybrid-system/#comments Wed, 22 Jun 2011 13:42:22 +0000 casey.pratt@terex.com http://www.terexhypower.com/?p=1017 As the EUFMC show opened on June 19, there was a buzz of excitement at the Terex booth when the curtains were pulled back to unveil the new Terex® SCM55 – part of the latest series of Terex aerial lift bucket trucks. The new SCM series has been designed to answer customer needs for more open bed space and reduced travel height for greater mobility. These overcenter material handler units continue our tradition with the quality and innovative design of our Hi-Ranger series of aerial device equipment. They feature the dependable Terex® lower boom cylinder design for low travel height and the Terex-patented Tri-Link elbow design for easy maintenance.
The SCM series uses a lower boom configuration that offers a reasonable amount of open bed space and an overall height under 11-ft (3.3 m) on a 40-in (101.6 cm) frame. The low-profile design allows for low platform stow near centerline of the truck to provide exceptional clearance of overhead obstructions such as bridges, trees and powerlines during travel.
The field-proven Tri-Link elbow design has been incorporated into Terex aerial devices since 1995. This rugged mechanical design features easy access to greasable bushings and bearings. Unlike other designs which use lift chains or cables, the Tri-Link elbow is designed to last the truck’s lifetime without a mandatory overhaul.
The SCM series includes three models – the SCM48, SCM50, and SCM55a all having a gross vehicle weight rating of 31,000 lbs. (14,061 kg). The SCM48, the shortest in the series, holds its own with a 48.0-ft (14.6 m) bottom of platform height, a 53.0-ft (16.2 m) working height, a 39.3-ft (12.0 m) overcenter side reach, and a non-overcenter side reach of 37.8-ft (11.5 m) at 120°.
The SCM50 features a 50.0-ft (15.2 m) bottom of platform height, a 55.0-ft (16.8 m) working height, a 41.2-ft (12.6 m) side reach overcenter, and it has a non-overcenter side reach of 39.3-ft (12.0 m) at 120°.
The SCM55 is designed with a 55.0-ft (16.8 m) bottom of platform height, a 60-ft (18.3 m) working height and a 46.1-ft (14.1 m) side reach overcenter, and it boasts a 43.1-ft (13.1 m) non-overcenter side reach at 120°.
The SCM48, SCM50 and SCM55 come standard with a side mount, single-person, 700-lb capacity platform.
