Its a Britains toy that was produced until a few years ago, they are quite fragile but yours is complete.

Hello and welcome.

Not seen a machine like that one before but I certainly dont think it is a Dynahoe machine as it looks too small and flimsy.

They are currently sold as Case machines in the US and Europe, as Sumitomo in the asia-pacific region and also as Link-Belt (who Sumitomo own) branded machines through the LBX company joint venture between Case/Sumitomo. Also between 1991 and 1998 Sumitomo had a joit venture with JCB to build Sumito...

The smaller Koehring hydraulic excavators were sold as NCK machines in the UK and other countries, a 1066 was bought by Shand to work on a British opencast coal site in the late 70s/early 80s (?) but didnt meet with much success. Some later Koehring models were badged IHI machines before they decide...

CAT is a big shareholder in the company.

Im sure I read somewhere that all the RH400s produced to date are to be found working in the Canadian oil sands.

I get the impression that as Cat stopped building mining (85 tonne plus) size excavators because they werent able to compete with O&K, Komatsu, Liebherr products.

Great shot, but isnt that a CAT 245?
