PowerScreen Warrior 600 and Its Role in Compact Screening Operations
#1
The Warrior Series and Terex’s Screening Legacy
The PowerScreen Warrior 600 is part of the Warrior series manufactured by Terex, a global leader in heavy equipment with roots tracing back to the 1930s. Terex acquired PowerScreen in the late 1990s, integrating its mobile screening technology into a broader portfolio of crushing and material handling solutions. The Warrior line was developed to meet the growing demand for compact, high-output screening equipment capable of handling diverse materials in tight job sites.
The Warrior 600, launched in the mid-2010s, was designed as a highly mobile, low-footprint screener for contractors working in urban environments, small quarries, and recycling yards. With a transport width under 8 feet and a weight of approximately 13,000 kg, it can be hauled without special permits and deployed quickly.
Core Features and Screening Capabilities
The Warrior 600 is equipped with a 2-deck screen box measuring 2.3m x 1.2m (7.5ft x 4ft), offering a screening area of 2.76m² per deck. It supports a wide range of media configurations, including:
  • Finger decks for sticky or wet materials
  • Punch plate for oversize separation
  • Mesh screens for fine grading
  • Self-cleaning options for high-moisture content
The machine is powered by a fuel-efficient Tier IV Final diesel engine, typically a Perkins or Caterpillar unit, delivering around 60–70 horsepower. Hydraulic drive systems control the conveyors and screen box, allowing variable speed adjustments to optimize throughput.
Material Handling and Application Versatility
Operators commonly use the Warrior 600 for:
  • Screening topsoil, fill, and compost
  • Separating construction and demolition waste
  • Processing wood ash, mulch, and biomass
  • Handling dredged material and aggregates
One of its standout features is the aggressive screen throw and adjustable angle, which enhances stratification and throughput. The high-frequency screen motion ensures efficient separation of fines, even in damp or compacted material.
In one field example, a contractor replaced an aging CV50 screener with the Warrior 600 to process wet topsoil directly on job sites. The CV50 struggled with overload and clogging, especially when fed without a buffer. The Warrior 600’s finger deck and feeder system allowed continuous operation without reprocessing tailings, saving time and fuel.
Mobility and Operator Experience
The Warrior 600 is track-mounted, enabling it to traverse uneven terrain and reposition easily. Operators appreciate the intuitive control panel and remote tracking capability, which simplifies setup and teardown. The machine’s compact height allows it to be loaded with standard wheel loaders or excavators without ramps.
A mechanic working with similar models noted the reliability of the hydraulic system and praised Terex’s customer support. When troubleshooting a track drive issue, the technician received step-by-step guidance over the phone, including diagnostics for the umbilical control cable—referred to as a “pigtail” in trucking circles.
Maintenance and Support Considerations
Routine maintenance includes:
  • Daily inspection of screen media and tensioning bolts
  • Weekly greasing of bearings and pivot points
  • Monitoring hydraulic fluid levels and filter condition
  • Checking conveyor belt alignment and wear
Parts availability is generally strong, with Terex maintaining regional distribution centers. However, operators should stock critical wear items like screen panels, belts, and hydraulic fittings to minimize downtime.
Conclusion
The PowerScreen Warrior 600 is a compact yet powerful solution for contractors seeking reliable screening performance in confined spaces. Its adaptability to various materials, ease of transport, and robust design make it a valuable asset for small-scale operations. Whether processing fill on a suburban job site or separating biomass in a recycling yard, the Warrior 600 delivers consistent results with minimal fuss—proving that big performance can come in a small package.
