We are acting as special counsel to Terex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-184713) as amended (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to the issuance by the Company of $850,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). With your permission, all assumptions and statements of reliance herein have been made without any independent investigation or verification on our part except to the extent otherwise expressly stated, and we express no opinion with respect to the subject matter or accuracy of such assumptions or items relied upon.

The Notes are issuable under a senior debt indenture, dated July 20, 2007 (the “Base Indenture”) attached as Exhibit 4.1 to the Registration Statement, as supplemented by the supplemental indenture, dated June 3, 2009 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), the supplemental indenture, dated February 7, 2011 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), the supplemental indenture, dated March 27, 2012 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture), the supplemental indenture, dated November 26, 2012, by and between the Company, the guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).

For purposes of this opinion, (i) the “Underwriting Agreement” means the Underwriting Agreement related to the Notes, dated November 8, 2012, between the Company, the Guarantors and the several underwriters party thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), (ii) the “Prospectus” means the base prospectus, dated November 1, 2012, contained in the Registration Statement, and (iii) the “Prospectus Supplements” means the final prospectus supplement, dated November 8, 2012, to the Prospectus related to the Notes.

In connection with this opinion, we have (i) investigated such questions of law, (ii) examined originals or certified, conformed, facsimile, electronic, photostatic or reproduction copies of such agreements, instruments, documents and records of the Company, such certificates of public officials and such other documents and (iii) received such information from officers and representatives of the Company and others, in each case as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.  We have examined, among other documents, the following:

As to various questions of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon, and assume the accuracy of, representations and warranties contained in the Documents, certificates and oral or written statements and other information of or from public officials and officers or other appropriate representatives of the Company and others and assume compliance on the part of all parties to the Documents with their covenants and agreements contained therein.

We have assumed, for purposes of the opinions expressed herein, that (i) all of the parties to the Documents are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, (ii) the parties to the Documents other than the Company have the power and authority to (a) execute and deliver the Documents, (b) perform their obligations thereunder and (c) consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, (iii) each of the Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all of the parties thereto; (iv) each of the Documents constitutes a valid and binding obligation of all the parties thereto (other than as expressly addressed in the opinions below as to the Company), enforceable against such parties in accordance with its terms; (v) the Notes and have been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee against payment therefor in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement; (vi) all of the parties to the Documents will comply with all of their obligations under the Documents and all laws applicable thereto; and (vii) the Notes conform to the specimen thereof examined by us.

(v)

any provision of the Documents purporting to give any person or entity the power to accelerate obligations without any notice to the obligor; and

(vi)
