The DEMAG H421 was used by McErlain at Ryefield OCCS, Denby, Derbyshire and delivered in 1980.

Of the P&H 1200 shown, W.J. Simms, Sons & Cook bought five of the first 14 built. The P&H 1200 weighed up to 183 tonnes, was available as a backhoe or faceshovel with bucket capacities upto 13.8 cu m (18 cu yd).The machines went to sites at Amberswood, Hindley; Millers Lane, Atherton and Pica, Cumbria.

Hi IBH, I remember the H241 at Ryefield on an open day there in 1986 - there's pictures of it on this post. I also remember one of the P & H 1200's in Dyggor Gaylords yard at Giltbrook (Where IKEA is now) in 1987/88. IIRC it was a face shovel.
