Is that excavator on the uMngeni water project?

BellBoy you disappoint me. Usually you are quite quick on the details(haha). Umgeni water project at Cato Ridge - the pipes are 1.2m wide and that would need a helluva trench. The Sany excavator is digging for a 40mm pipe.
Location township of Mkhawanzi which is just past the Zululand University outside Richards Bay. Cane lands have been allowed to be to ruin and is reverting back to grassland

I have always been Cat faithful but this has been a really interesting thread. Iwonder how long until these machines (Sany, LiuGong, etc.) begin to show up here in Canada? Or are they already here?

True, that pipeline got some huge pipes, but here in PMB along the old Howick road where they are working at the moment, they are using just a Doosan Solar225LCV and a VolvoEC210B... I'll see if I can't get you some pics of them

I've seen a few SANYs.. yep. Vancouver BC.
Doosan is almost becoming the machine of choice around here. Incredible prices, and good reliability.
The chinese are in the exact same position as Japan was in the 50s.. everything in america that was sold 'made in japan' had the reputation of being cheap crappy copies... but people bought them, and that put alot of money in Japans hands... and now japan is synonomous with quality, and cutting edge technology. It won't belong before we do the same thing to the chinese (meaning, give all of our money to them and finance all of their r&d and improvements until they produce equipment that is on par or better than domestic products).

Hahaha, I like them because: they never break down (well, seldom ever do), they are cheap to buy and maintain, and they are pretty comfortable and helluva fast too.
