The Terex zero tail swing TC37 Crawl-
er Excavator meets the demand for
a compact machine in applications
where space is a premium. Designed to turn
360 degrees within the width of its tracks, the
TC37 zero tail swing excavator is at home in
confined and restricted areas. Ideal for utility
contractors, this mini allows operators to get
up close and personal in places where con-
ventional excavators can’t fit.
If you’re working in an alley, next to a build-
ing, or on a street, where traffic is an issue,
you can be certain that the rear of the TC37
isn’t going to swing out into traffic or into a
wall, plus, the off-set boom allows operators
an unobstructed view of the task at hand,
increasing visibility at every turn.
Weighing in at 7,870 lbs., the TC37 offers
a maximum digging depth of 10’6” and a
reach of 18’ 1”. The 30 hp Mitsubishi 4-cyl-
inder diesel engine and hydrostatic drive de-
livers the speed and power needed to dig,
load, lift and place material like the big boys.
Terex is known for its extreme reliability. The
TC37 zero tail swing excavator is no excep-
tion. For instance, the cylinders are on the
back side of the boom – not on the front
of the machine like you find on competitive
models. According to Wright, this reduc-
es damage and increases uptime: “All of
our cylinders are mounted with spherical,
self-lining bearings so that less stress is
transmitted to the pins or bushings.” Add
load-sensing hydraulics with variable dis-
placement piston pumps and closed center,
flow compensating valves and you have a
high efficiency, low fuel consumption oper-
ation. Plus, the TC37 features an optional
quick change hitch that allows a wide range
of optional attachments and accessories to
be used for even greater versatility.
Spacious cabs with exceptional visibility in all
directions keep operators focused and pro-
ductive. The cab features a fabric-covered
hydraulically cushioned driver’s seat that
adjusts to the operator’s height, weight and
length, plus height-adjustable armrests. Two
power touch, pilot operated four-way control
levers make for nearly effortless operation.
And the control pattern changer (standard) is
out in the open and doesn’t require a wrench
to make adjustments. b
