The TS-24 scraper: an overview by Richard Campbell

The Euclid TS-24 was a development of the Euclid TS-18, which was Euclid’s first two-axle, twin powered motor scraper (This TS-18 by the way should not to be confused with the later Terex TS-18).

First introduced in 1957, the TS-24 was in continuous production in various versions right up until the late 1990s, by which stage it was known as the Terex TS-24B Loadrunner, and bore little resemblance to its forebears, other than in its cubic capacity.

In this article we will focus solely on the machines manufactured prior to the Terex name change – that is the pre-1968 models.

Basically a ‘stretched’ version of the previous TS-18, the TS-24 was initially powered by a General Motors model 6-110, six-cylinder, supercharged diesel, rated at 317 horsepower in the tractor unit, and a General Motors model 6-71, six-cylinder, supercharged diesel rated at 210 horsepower in the scraper.

Hydraulically actuated Allison three-speed powershift transmissions were used in both ends – a model CLT5360 in the front and a type TG604 in the rear.

For quite a large machine the TS-24 was capable of a fair turn of speed reaching almost 30 miles an hour (50kph).

Exceptionally well constructed, the Euclid TS-24 used a bowl very similar to the company’s model S-18 single-engined scraper, but with a redesigned rear frame that was longer and incorporated engine and transmission mountings.

Capacity was 24 cubic yards struck and 32 cubic yards heaped.

The familiar Euclid single-acting ram and lever arrangement was used for bowl and apron operation, while a three-stage single acting cylinder took care of the ejector.
