Re:  Terex Corporation Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No.
     333-112097) (the "Registration Statement")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Terex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the
Company's 7-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the "Exchange Notes"). The
Exchange Notes are to be issued pursuant to an exchange offer (the "Exchange
Offer") by the Company of the Exchange Notes for a like principal amount of the
Company's issued and outstanding 7-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the
"Original Notes"), as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, dated
as of November 25, 2003 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), by and among the
Company, the Guarantors (as defined below), Credit Suisse First Boston LLC,
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., ABN AMRO Incorporated, Banc of America Securities
LLC, Credit Lyonnais Securities (USA) Inc. and Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein
Securities. The Original Notes were, and the Exchange Notes will be, issued
under the Indenture, dated as of November 25, 2003 (the "Indenture"), among the
Company, the Guarantors and HSBC Bank USA, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). The
Exchange Notes are to be guaranteed pursuant to the Indenture by the
unconditional guarantees of the Company's subsidiaries which are parties to the
Indenture (the "Guarantors").

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item
601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act.


In connection herewith, we have examined the Registration Statement, the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture and a form of the Exchange Notes.
We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to
our satisfaction, of such corporate records, agreements and instruments of the
Company, certificates of public officials and officers of the Company, and such
other documents, records and instruments, and we have made such legal and
factual

inquiries as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for us
to render the opinion hereinafter expressed. In our examination of the
foregoing, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal
competence and capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of documents
submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original
documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were
not independently established, we have relied without independent investigation
as to matters of fact upon statements of governmental officials and upon
representations and certificates and statements of appropriate representatives
of the Company. In connection herewith, we have also assumed that the Indenture
has been duly authorized by, has been duly executed and delivered by, and
constitutes the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Trustee, the
signatory to the Indenture signing on behalf of the Trustee has been duly
authorized and the Trustee is duly organized and validly existing and has the
power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform the
Indenture.



Based upon and subject to the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to
the assumptions, comments, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth
herein, we are of the opinion that when the Registration Statement becomes
effective and the Exchange Notes (in the form examined by us) have been duly
executed and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and
have been delivered upon consummation of the Exchange Offer against receipt of
Original Notes surrendered in exchange therefor in accordance with the terms of
the Exchange Offer, the Exchange Notes will constitute valid and binding
obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture.

Our opinions herein reflect only the application of applicable New York law, the
Federal laws of the United States and, to the extent required by the foregoing
opinion, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The opinion set
forth herein is made as of the date hereof and is subject to, and may be limited
by, future changes in the factual matters set forth herein, and we undertake no
duty to advise you of the same. The opinion expressed herein is based upon the
law in effect (and published or otherwise generally available) on the date
hereof, and we assume no obligation to review or supplement this opinion should
such law be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise. In
rendering our opinion, we have not considered, and hereby disclaim any opinion
as to, the application or impact of any laws, cases, decisions, rules or
regulations of any other jurisdiction, court or administrative agency.
