Akerman excavator (modified); difficult to ID this one

Post #1 by Gavin Phillips » Mon Jul 29, 2013 1:54 pm

Well this one is something of a conundrum, and a surprise as I hadn't seen an Akerman for quite some time. I'm not even sure what the modified machine is supposed to be, a pile driver perhaps? Drill rig? No idea... :doh: But oh well, it brightened up my day anyway.

Akerman EC-series of some kind. The place and number of the headlights on the cab roof, plus some small features on the bodywork seem to match up with an EC229 but I'm still just not sure. If this is an EC229, that'll be yet another model that I just wasn't aware of. Akerman seems to have made alot of these that I just didn't know existed. Makes me wonder how that slipped by my attention really. :lol:

Here is a nice overview over all produced models:

The EC229

In simple words it is a H10B with EC230 pumpcontrol.
Or, if you want, a EC230 with short boom and the H10B undercarriage and counterweight.
