Hi!
I was hoping that someone could recognize this dumper.. i have looked at the most brands and pictures here and on Google but can’t find one like mine.. is it homemade?
Did find a tag under the Seat (see picture) but Google strikes zero.
Engine i think it is Lister LD1..the plate that holds the specs are of course gone.
Best regards
Johnny Sweden

Yeah but still the big question is what model and how do you get any information on Bonser when Google strikes zero and all you get is forklifts..? Found one website but they didn’t wan’t questions send to them.

Looking at the size and axles it is probably something like a 15cwt dumper. Bonser seems to have been swallowed by other companies many years ago.

Yes I turned up nothing on web for Bonser dumpers . I never saw one on a site so assume they were not big sellers . I did have an old plant book that mentioned them but I think I threw it away a few years back.
Unless something comes up on Ebay I think you may be stuck for info.
However they are simple machines assembled from bought in parts and engines so I think it should not be a problem to fix up and run.

Bonser is also a term that used to be used here in Australia. It was at least a positive term indicating your approval. To say it was a "ripper bonser" meant that you really liked it. Possible slight difference in the Ozzie spelling department would be BONSA !

Bummer that i get one machine that dosen’t seem to be popular then..hehe.
Not much on them but it could be fun to know what they looked like original if you want to restore.
So next problem then. Lister engine, is ther any more engine stamps on them besides the one in brass? (Or what they are made in) Need to know what parts to get, missing some..

Hi Johnny those could be casting numbers on the engine block it may help better if you posted some photos of the whole machine and the engine; of course there is also a chance that Bonser simply got another dumper manufacturer to make their machine and they simply badged it?
