Terex Titan

[MetalDragon_boy]

Hi!

I have a Q! Does anyone know if there is still some Terex Titan left in use?

I have seen pics of Titans being loaded by a shovel but I dont know how old they are...

According to Wiki the Titan operated in Sparwood British Columbia was a prototype and no others were built... I guess in our industry this could be the considered an equivalent of the famous Howard Hughes' seaplane 'Spruce Goose'

Yeah, the difference being that the Spruce Goose only flew one time, with Howard Hughes himself at the controls. He did it just to prove that it would actually fly. The Titan actually worked for a living, as Metal Dragon Boy's picture shows.

There's pictures of it as it appears today (it's clean!), in this thread:https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=1753

Hmm that may explain why they restored it in the first place, if only one where built it is a unique machine that should be saved.

Although there are several 1:87 Titans out there! So not only one where built! :wink2 :bouncegri

The 33-19 hauler spent some time right here in So. Cal.
In 1978, it ran at Kaiser Steel's Eagle Mt. Mine for 1 year.
The Terex was too wide for the haul roads at Eagle Mt. It was "tested" there for 12 months, dis-assembled and hauled off.

I've spent some time working at the mine and have lotsa pics to share.

You spent your vacation at Greenhills Ross

I went over on personal Business. The Guided Tour was to good to pass up. Especially with the break in the weather high up in the Mountains.

I also Had a look round Elk View site were the Titan worked.

Hey Ross, excellent pics! I spent two summers on contract at the Fording River mine, which essentially shares a lease border with Greenhills (I did spend some days at Greenhills as well). Your photos brought back some great memories, thanks.

Hi Dickie. Fantastic place. I am looking to move out there soon :drinkup

I never got the chance to Visit Fording River site North of GreenHill.

Anyway. A few more pic's :drinkup

the titan just isnt practical, the video said if the engine went down they would just retire it because of the cost to fix it... dumb idea, but that thing is neat
