It had an operating capacity of 350 ST, an empty mass of 256 ST, and a maximum loaded mass of 606 ST. The 33 series started out as Euclid models prior to GM taking then over in September 1953. Terex assembled the Titan for Kaiser Steel in its Eagle Mountain, California iron mine in late 1974. At this mine the Titan suffered from downtime problems but eventually hauled some three-and-a-half million tons of earth until 1978. In late 1978 it was then brought to Kaiser Steel's Sparwood, British Columbia mine in Canada. In 1980 the mine changed hands as B.C. Resources acquired all of the Kaiser property, and was renamed B.C. Coal. In 1983 the mine was again renamed, to Westar Mining, and the Titan also changed colors from lime green to Westar's blue and yellow. Shortly after, Westar directly purchased the Titan from General Motors, for US$200 thousand and $1 million in spare parts. In the following six years the Titan had a uptime rate of over 70% as it hauled loads of over 360 tons during this time. Westar finally retired the Titan in 1991.
