Both Banks Mining and UK Coal have a number of these machines at work up here in Northumberland, mostly based on CAT 325 machines but a few O&K's among them as well.

Does anyone have specifications for the CAT 325 coal shovel? Never seen it listed on their site before.

I have heard there was a coal shovel version of the Akerman H10B, not sure how many were built.

Love the last picture, shows the flat bottom bucket to good effect - an ideal tool for stripping thin seams of coal without ripping up the layers of rock underneath.

Hi Stuart,

Thanks so much for posting these photos! I've been away from here for a long time, but I will find your previous post with photos of the machine(s) new; eventually.

To the best of my knowledge; these machines are exclusive to the UK? I met a man from Scotland many years ago at the bauma who told me these "coal shovel" conversions were done by the companies Allied and Kocurek. I was never able to find out any information about Allied, and Kocurek never answered any of my correspondence.

I am a dry sponge when it comes to information about these shovels. Anyone; everyone, tell me all you know about these unique machines???

Do any of you modelmakers out there produce coal shovel conversions of existing models? I would also be interested in original brochures concerning this specialized attachment. Any information, photos, specs, etc...

'All the best,
Kocurek did conversions on cat 325 about 2 or 3 years ago i saw them in there yard.
John
