Just to add to the list there were also a few Samsung based machines up here at one time, and of course Peter Grimshaw had/has an Akerman based unit at the VET. Dave S. |

SB Hi Stuart, The buckets look very similar to the Bofors type, we used to have lots of them fitted to 932 and 942 Liebherrs years ago,(Amec and Keir Mining and a few others) I believe Bofors used to make the sticks as well.dont know if Bofors is defunct now.

As IBH said these shovels are very common. Other models I've seen are Akerman H7 in Nant Helen and a big seller was the O&K RH9. Can someone tell me how wide the bucket is thanks. |

I thought Kocurek made the booms for the cat's. At the time of the visit 3 years ago they have these booms in production. |
