Here, at Truckpages, you will find trucks for sale with Atlas loader cranes fitted and also with Atlas Terex cranes. The names reflect the change of ownership of the German crane and excavator manufacturer. If the truck-mounted crane was made before 2001 and after 2010 then it will be an ‘Atlas’ crane. Whilst under the ownership of the US Terex Corporation, the loader cranes were rebranded ‘Atlas Terex’. After the business unit’s sale to investors in 2010, the cranes became simply ‘Atlas’ once more.
