LME is Long undercarriage and Mass Excavation....basically a short boom and dipper normally with a big bucket!

ME's also have different rams, have much higher breakout forces than a standard hex.

L - long undercarriage
N - Narrow undercarriage (not seen much in UK)
LN - Long Narrow u/c

ME - Mass excavator
MH - Material handler
