These were known as Caterpillar and towmotor.

You may be getting a little bit confused here Garry. Towmotor corporation was a company that manufactured forklift trucks which ultimately became a subsidiary of the Caterpillar Tractor company.

Sorry Eddie, I don't know why, but I've always known them as Caterpilar/towmotor open bowl scrapers? Can't think where the connection is from.
