8 | Reliability Report 3Terex ® markets more than 50 brands covering a broad range of equipmentfor the construction, infrastructure, quarrying, recycling, surface mining,shipping, transportation, refining, utility and maintenance industries. Henkelhad the chance to send a film crew to the Terex ® plant in Glasgow, Scotlandto see Loctite ® products in action.The enormous power the Terex ® machines wield requires the reliability thatLoctite ® adhesives and sealants can ensure. Locating studs – locked withhigh strength anaerobic compound Loctite ® 648 – allow easy and fastfixturing of the differential, a crucial construction part exposed to strongforces. The rigid flanges of the differential housing are sealed with Loctite ®518. Besides instant seal, Loctite ® 518 guarantees the reliable long-termperformance because there is no gasket relaxation, and correct clamp loadis maintained throughout the life of the assembly. This is a perfect exampleof how Loctite ® products provide optimisation in production.A wheelas big as a manInspiring strong feelingsHow do you measure a company’s appeal? Is it the level of brand awareness?The market position? Customer loyalty?There is another way of doing it, by asking a simple question: whoseproducts will inspire more excitement in a conversation amongst schoolchildren?

At theScottish location, gigantic coal-mining trucks and other heavy dutyapplications are assembled. To get an idea of how big these trucksreally are, just picture a wheel that is as tall as a grown man. Terex ®produces seven different models of these trucks, with loadingcapacities up to 100 tons.Attention to detail and emphasis on good craftsmanship are theattributes that Terex ® and Loctite ® engineers share. “Jackie is alwaysjust a phone call away,” says Steven Macholecki, a supervisor atthe Scottish Terex ® plant in a video documenting the use of Loctite ® inproduction. Jackie is Jackie Marshall, the Loctite ® sales engineer responsiblefor Terex ® in Glasgow.Marshall spends at least one day a week at the plant in Glasgow, andthe cooperation with the Terex ® engineers seems to be working well forboth parties. “I’m involved in finding adhesive and sealant solutions for newdesigns, but I’m also there when they encounter maintenance problems,”he explains.at work | no. 2/09
