Compact Machinery is a sector that has grown out of the rising cost of manual labour and increasing Health and Safety restrictions on use of manpower. The original machines were small, compared to modern equipment. The increasing versatility og modern compact hydraulic equipment has enabled a whole range of Compact machines for Agricultural and Construction use.

  • Compact Machinery is a sector that has grown out of the rising cost of manual labour and increasing Health and Safety restrictions on use of manpower. The original machines were small, compared to modern equipment. The increasing versatility og modern compact hydraulic equipment has enabled a whole range of Compact machines for Agricultural and Construction use. Compact tractors were built for use in Vineyards and Orchards from the early days. This was then followed by people building small versions of most implements specially for them. The addition of Loaders and Backhoe arms to compact tractors then grew into firms building all in one machines. one early digger was the Powerfab 125 WT towable excavator for confined spaces, which was backhoe arm on a turntable, powered by a small 4 stroke petrol engine. While early versions of the 125 WT could not drive by wheels- it moved by pulling or pushing the ground with the bucket. These models had a hydraulically operated rear spade/stabiliser with two manually adjusted outriggers/stabilisers. It could be pulled by a car or small pick-up truck from Job to Job on the wheels and the outriggers formed a draw bar. Later versions included a skid-steer hydraulically driven wheeled 125 WTD and a 360 WT with a full 360 degree slew. Later the Japanese (citation needed) invented the tracked 360 deg Mini excavator, made by companies like Kubota, Yammaha, Hanix, and Bobcat in the USA, and JCB in the UK and others like Pel-Job of France (most major manufactures now producing (or Badge engineering some in there line up).
