The Euclid Trucks was a manufacturer which specialized in heavy equipment for earthmoving, particularly dump trucks, loaders and wheel tractor-scrapers. It operated in the United States from the 1920s to the 1950s, when it was purchased by General Motors. The firm was later bought by Hitachi Construction Machinery. [1]
The heavier scraper types have two engines ("tandem powered"), one driving the front wheels, one driving the rear wheels, with engines up to 400 kW (536 hp). Multiple scrapers can work together in a push-pull fashion but this requires a long cut area. Smaller scrapers may be towed by a bulldozer.
A bulldozer or dozer (also called a crawler) is a large, motorized machine equipped with a metal blade to the front for pushing material: soil, sand, snow, rubble, or rock during construction work. It travels most commonly on continuous tracks , though specialized models riding on large off-road tires are also produced.
US-1 Elevated Piers, although never sold separately, the light gray piers appeared in four of the trucking sets and were a key part of the '3453 Elevated Gravel Unloader' action station. A set of piers included two of each. Pier 1 is 19mm or 3/4" high, number 2 is 38 mm or 1 & 1/2" and pier 3 reached a height of 57 mm or 2 & 1/4".

[2] This was a tractor attachment with four functions: dozer, clamshell, bucket and scraper. The "International Drott" was an International Harvester tractor fitted with Drott equipment. [4]
Perhaps because of the complexity of casting a metal model, Hubley's range of marques for the kits was not that wide – basically a 1:20 scale range of Ford Model As and 1932 Chevrolets, a 1:22 scale range of Packards, and two 1:18 scale Duesenbergs. The small range was made up for, though, in the number of variations for each car model.
The twin-cylinder steam engine could be used either to drive the plough winch or to drive the vehicle along, at a speed of up to 150 cm/min (5 ft/min). Although the machine weighed 30 tons complete with 6 tons of fuel, its ground pressure was only 869 kg/m 2 (178 lb/sq ft), considerably less than a man.
