Re: Unknown make
. Based on an Hitachi EX1200 hydraulic excavator, the machine has undergone extensive modification at the Kocurek Excavator facility in Ipswich. Those modifications include:
• Converting the machine to run on biodegradable hydraulic oil
• Hydraulically-removable counterweight and an elevating/tilting cab
• Walkways and handrails to the two main booms and the topside of the machine for optimum operator safety.
These modifications have increased the machine’s operating weight from an original 120 tonnes to 200 tonnes.
But it is the change of front-end equipment that has made the greatest difference to the machine. Heavy Decom International specified the unit with both a three-piece triple arm and a four-piece quad boom. These allow the machine to carry a 25 tonne shear to a working height of 26 metres; and a smaller 12.8 tonne Genesis GXP1500R to 33 metres. The machine can carry a 7.0 tonne tool to its maximum 38 metre working height.
