Euclid Earthmovers

[@davidkean1487]

Back in the 60's, my Dad would drive us down by Republic Steel in Cleveland, the Euclids would drive by on Independence Rd. Hauling red hot slag. Cool to see as a kid!

[@EarthmoversofthePast]

Back in August of 2023 I got some time behind the wheel of a Euclid R20 truck moving some broke up asphalt, that was my first time operating a truck that big, hope to get another chance to do it again. I have always like watching and operating old earthmoving machines. Thanks for your comment.

In the early 60's I attended a boys camp in Black Mountain, N.C..Next to the camp was a quarry of some kind and we would watch Euclid bottom dumps roar down a wide lime rock road and they were really rolling. The tractors had fully enclosed cabs and I swear they had to be traveling 40-45 mph at least... quite an impressive machine.

I grew up living right next to I90 in Cleveland by the first pedestrian bridge overpass by 185th. I remember they would not fit under the bridge, taking them downtown to load on freighters for shipping around the world. I remember watching them drive through the grass off the side of the freeway with lower height to be able to fit under the bridge.

[@jimmccormick6091]

I had totally forgotten about the pedestrian bridges!

[@richleskovec4075]

@@jimmccormick6091 the first one by 185th was slammed into by a raised bed dump truck about eight years ago and destroyed and they had to tear it down then have rebuilt it. But I’m not sure why they spent the money to rebuild it because those two pedestrian bridges the one by 185th St., and the other one closer down near 152nd were built after the freeway went through because so many people worked at Collinwood yards in the factories that walked over those bridges on the way to work. Of course today there’s hardly any of that volume of pedestrian traffic walking to work anymore so I’m not sure why they rebuilt that one.

Nothing had brakes...true wonder no one was killed! Always welding and getting a bigger hammer to fix stuff!!! Man, those were the days!! One day the old D8 got in bind and we had to take a track off. The mechanic was beating the heck out the link pin with a 12 lb sledge and it wasn't going to move. I said why don't you use the 90 lb pavement breaker with moil point. He stopped, looking at his helper, cursed, told him to pull the compressor over...we held that point up on that pin with 3 seconds on the lever - out it popped...

They had to be attentive back then, know their surroundings. I hate to be around today's construction sites with constant beeping sounds from all directions. Is that safer or would just being attentive work? Thanks for your comment.

[@EarthmoversofthePast]

The Euclid company is not in business. Here is a link to the Wikipedia article about them en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid_Trucks.

15-30 tons is laughable! Nowadays, off road trucks used in quarries and open pit mining can haul 20X that. That is a HUGE difference. Although, at the time, they were a huge step up from a donkey and a cart. Believe that!

Bought out by the Chinese??

[@EarthmoversofthePast]

In 1959 the Department of Justice under Attorney General William P. Rogers initiated an antitrust suit, under the Clayton Act, against General Motors Corporation. It charged that GM was too dominant, and its business methods stifled competition in the off-road hauler and earthmoving market. GM fought the suit for eight years, finally surrendering in 1968, agreeing to sell the Euclid Division. Article from Wikipedia.
