A small batch of trial machines were constructed to be field tested at GM’s Milford proving ground. These were known by the factory as the Euclid model L-X. Following successful trials, Euclid intended to put the new wheel loader into full production as the model 72-80, but following GM’s renaming of the Euclid earthmoving division to Terex in 1968, the decision was made to keep the designation all in the “1” family and the 72-80 became the 72-81.It was intended for opencast mining, bulk stockpiling and large earthmoving projects. The new 72-81 wheel loader was officially introduced to the public in February 1969.The machine remained in production until 1982 when it was replaced by the totally redesigned but smaller Terex Model 90C. Manufactured only in Terex/GM’s Hudson, Ohio plant, the 72-81 was exported worldwide with total production amounting to approximately 450 units.
The 72-81 remains the largest loaders ever manufactured by Euclid/Terex. (Extract from an article written by Richard Campbell in Contractor Magazine - March 2016)
