 Euclid




Euclid, founded in 1926, was once one of the world's leading heavy
equipment manufacturers and produced haul trucks and scrapers for the
heavy construction and mining industries.  By the late 1940's Euclid's
product line had expanded to include bulldozers and loaders and it's
name, as well as unique green color, had become known around the
world for quality equipment.

In 1953 General Motors acquired Euclid and during the 1950's and 1960's
they continued to grow and as a division of GM they developed even
larger types of earth moving equipment.  In 1968, as the result of an anti-
trust lawsuit, GM was forced to sell Euclid but retained the bulldozer, loader
and scraper product lines.  The later became products of Terex.  Euclid
and the hauler product line then passed through the hands of White
Motor Company, Daimler-Benz, Clark Michigan Company and Lincolin
Electric before finally finding a home with Hitachi in 1994 and becoming
known as Euclid-Hitachi.  But in 2004 the famous "Euclid Green" was
replaced with "Hitachi Orange" and the Euclid name was phased out by
the end of the year, ending 80 years of the Euclid name appearing on
earth moving equipment.

While the color and name may be different, the spirit of Euclid still lives on
to this day in the current Hitachi heavy construction and mining haul
truck product line.
