Terex haul trucks 33-05 to 33-19, TR35 to TR100 and MT3300 to MT5500 – Euclid heritage, Motherwell and Unit Rig: 239 to 2,721 kW
The Terex name arose in 1968 when General Motors had to rename its Euclid construction equipment division after an antitrust case – Terex, from terra and rex, lord of the earth. The haul trucks in the register tell three chapters of that story: the 33 series (33-05B to 33-19) is the GM-Terex generation of the 1970s and 1980s with Detroit Diesel two-stroke engines of the 71, 92 and 149 series, whose number after the hyphen roughly gave the payload class in tens of short tons. The TR series (TR35 to TR100) came from the Scottish Motherwell plant, which Terex ran until 2014, with the payload in short tons in the name – the TR100 carries about 91 t. The MT series (MT3300 to MT5500) comes from Unit Rig of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the pioneer of the diesel-electric truck, which Terex took over in 1988; the number gives the payload in hundreds of pounds, so the MT5500 carries 360 short tons, and AC denotes the alternating-current drive. In 2010 Terex sold the mining business to Bucyrus, which went to Caterpillar in 2011 – the MT5500 lives on as the Cat 795F AC.

The register lists 21 versions with 239.4 to 2,721.1 kW from six- to twenty-cylinders – Detroit Diesel 8V-71T to 16V-149TI in the 33 series, MTU 12V 4000 in the big MT models – lengths from 7,672 to 20,345 mm, widths from 3,481 to 5,901 mm and heights from 3,890 to 7,670 mm.
The two-stroke Detroit Diesels of the 33 series with their characteristic howl are collector pieces of construction-equipment history today; the MT trucks with AC drive were the technical spearhead that moved Caterpillar to enter diesel-electric drives.
On used machines of this kind, frame and body pivots, the overhaul history of the engine and, on MT models, of generator and wheel motors, and the tyres count; parts for the 33 series are collector's items, for the TR and MT models available through Terex Trucks (today Rokbak) and Caterpillar.
