A couple of months ago I was fortunate to review a brand new Hyundai 250LC-9 excavator as it came off the float from the distributors in Brisbane.

Andy Haggarty, of Caldme Excavations from Tamborine in Queensland, told me this machine was designated to become his third long reach excavator in his fleet.

Haggarty reckons that they are as good as you can get for his application and has had a brilliant run with several other Hyundai excavators over the years. Porter Equipment has also been a solid distributor and parts supplier so he just stuck with what was proven.

In his yard upon arrival, I saw a Hyundai 210LC-9 long reach excavator on a REMU

Big Float pontoon undergoing repairs after recently purchasing it for a WA mine contract. Beside the shed was another 45-tonne Hyundai long reach excavator having the final paint touches done after coming home
