Terex’s new line Magna is gaining traction worldwide, with the MT130J demonstrating the brand’s focus on large-scale yet mobile crushing
Magna, the Terex brand created to meet the demands of large-scale quarrying, mining and recycling operations, made its first appearance at ConExpo this year.
Terex launched Magna in the summer of 2024 after recognizing a gap in the need for large scale equipment that is also mobile.
The product range includes large scale jaw and cone crushers; horizontal and trommel screens; tracked and telescopic conveyors; and track mounted generators.
Now, 18 months after its launch, Terex is seeing success in the untapped market for large scale machines.
“It’s grown faster than we planned for, which is good news. We weren’t sure just how much acceptance there would be for some of these super mobile assets,” said Pat Brian, Vice President of Terex Aggregates.
The new brand has found success throughout North America, Australia, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
With Magna growing at an unexpected pace, Terex is now faced with the challenge of increasing production.
“At the moment, we’re trying to ramp up our factories. Giving the scale, you can’t make these anywhere. You really need specialized assembly,” Brian said. “We’re really excited about where it goes from here.”
MT130J mobile jaw crusher
At Terex’s ConExpo stand, the company showcased its flagship machine, the MT130J mobile jaw crusher, which is also the largest crusher in the range.
“ConExpo 2026 is the ideal platform to showcase what Magna delivers for large-scale operations,” said Neil McIlwaine, Business Line Director for Magna.
“We’re bringing the MT130J, the largest tracked jaw crusher in our range to date, to the industry’s biggest stage, demonstrating not only the power and efficiency of our equipment but the complete support package behind it to include digitalization and aftersales solutions.”
Weighing 126,200 kg, the MT130J is engineered for high-output quarry and mining applications. Designed to operate as a standalone primary crusher or as part of a mobile or static crushing and screening plant, the MT130J offers flexibility and efficiency for producers seeking to maximize productivity.

For ease of transport between sites, the plant can be split down and reassembled without the need for heavy crane assistance, reducing downtime and costs. Its electrically driven power systems deliver significant cost advantages and environmental benefits, while the large 13-metre by 1-metre opening allows the crusher to handle oversized material, minimizing pre-processing requirements.
Automatic variable speed VGF provides continuous choke feeding for optimal performance, and the high-powered electric drive delivers precise chamber controls and reverse functionality for clearing blockages and supporting demolition, asphalt and recycling applications.
T-Link telematics and a standard seven-year data subscription provide operators real-time insights and connectivity.
Terex has also invested in customer support for its materials processing brands.
Last year, the company opened a new 135,000 square foot warehouse in Louisville, Kentucky to consolidate parts distribution under one roof.
“Louisville reaches 80 per cent of the U.S. market within a day’s trucking. Strategically it’s in a great location,” said Kieran Hegarty, President of Terex Materials Processing.
