Euclid Dump Truck

Does anyone have information on this truck??

• The company I work for used to have 10 or so Euclid Trucks, they wear 60 ton trucks, green, and very loud. My understanding is Hitachi bought out or merged with Euclid, and they are still around though it seams there trucks are not particularly popular, why I do not know, we have switched to all cat trucks. http://www.hitachi-c-m.com/global/news/press/PR20050131114648945.html Zath42 16:11, 10 April 2006 (UTC)ok

Error in "Standard dump truck"

Reading the part "standard dump truck" I was confused a bit. Obviously it explains the construction of a semi-trailer dump truck (which has its own section below) and not a solo truck. Besides it might be explained that the hydraulic ram is placed either in the front of the dump body or somewhat under the middle. Also some are configured in what we call 3-way-tip here in Denmark (don't know if there are special english words for that) that can be set to dump to rear or either side according to needs.

The reason why I don't correct it myself is that I'm not that sure of the technical words in english - I only drive it in danish :-) G®iffen 14:05, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Not understood

I removed this from the part about "Side dump truck":Its key disadvantage is its length which impedes maneuverability and limits its versatility. I don't know how those are built in other parts of the world, but they surely have the same length as any other dump body where I come from. Maybe I'm not thinking of the same type of vehicle, so i picture wouldn't hurt anyone.

Also I didn't catch the "super dump truck" part? It's a one-liner and no pic.
