Re: The Poclain Thread "Vive le France"!!
Has there ever been a book published dealing with the company history of Poclain? As one of the early hydraulic excavator pioneers, it'd be great to learn about the company at large.
Look out that window, Eden isn't burning. Its burnt.

Thanks Steve but you will find that Poclain's history has already been covered by a group of French enthusiasts, a link to their book can be found here:

As you can see there is an English version.

I understood Poclain were still in the business of supplying hydrostatic transmission components and complete systems to rest of the industry, including CAT and other major brand names.
Majoring on their hydraulic motor expertise basically?

Comment above was in response to the post somewhere buried in this thread that it was a pity that the Poclain company were no more/not building excavators any more
I too had gathered they were "no more" until I recently found a very active Poclain company website, still family owned too. I liked that.
