I remember Benati having a big push for sales in the UK, maybe in the 80s, with quite large machines including wheeled loaders and 360 degree excavators - the importer/agent was Booth, a demolition contractor somewhere in the midlands IIRC. Dave. S. |

Benati were bought by Fiat-Hitachi in 1990, apparently to prevent Sumitomo gaining a European foothold. Ironically Sumitomo excavators are know sold by a Fiat company (Case)! |

I like the concept of having the sideshift over the entire width of the machine - makes sense

Did not notice the side shift rails at first, the equal wheeled machine looks useful bit of kit. What would they be powered by? |

I might of been mistaken but I thought that the 11c was made by BENFRA ? Who also made a lot of machines for Fiat Allis Wheeled Loaders, excavators, crawler loaders etc. they also manufactured Fiat rough terrain Fork lifts |
