The local water supply co here in Adelaide, Australia had these machines for trenching work, and could be used as a crane or fitted with a special hook for lowering-removing shoring planks! They were extensively used here for final cleaning up of trenches.
Leads me to another question, what was the continous chain bucket excavator used, had a belt device running thru to deposit soil either side of the machine as needed. The operator sat on a metal seat on the side of the machine and Meccanno did plans for a model of one. Spent a lot of time googling these types of machines and no results. As a kid I spent hours crawling over these machines, was wondering if any one has any pictures or info on them???
