The standard Cat 245 weighs around 65tons (thats metric tons).

When Hitachi had its EX-series being produced; the EX200 was a 20ton machine, EX400 was a 40tonner etc. The older UH-series had no such obvious link, the UH181 for example weighed around 40tons in a standard configuration.

Hymac's mid to late 1980's machines made more sense than the earlier ones, the 181 was an 18ton class machine, the 141 was roughly 14 tons and the 121 approx 12tons.



Just be weary, Caterpillar uses the US/short ton so sometimes the figures don't quite match up...

Where does the Cat 300 Excavator fall into this?

I will asssume you are asking about the EL 300 that was one of the first series of machines after the Mitsubishi deal. They were made in the late 80's, into the early 90's, and are 30 ton machines, comperable size to a 330 Cat or most other 300 series metric machines

So where does a twin engined Hitachi UH20 fit in ?

We still run an old 245b on site...have a labounty shear head on it. Just retired the other 245 we had after she shuked her engine....(not the only problem with the machine,just the final one)
She is a hard worker.

Now you mention it, that machine had an engine transplant.
It also had some major welding done around the lift ram, attachment to boom area and the dipper arm.
