Mike is in China checking that the Powston PE80, an 8 ton excavator, is exactly what his customers should receive. The day before, he reviewed the 6.5 ton PE65 he ordered, and he is also looking at larger machines on order.
WALK-AROUND HIGHLIGHTS
- Engine compartment: engine air filter, a large battery, coolant reservoir, radiator, and hydraulic oil cooler, with a relief pressure valve and a place to add hydraulic fluid.
- Cab: a cup holder, air conditioning controls and a roomy layout. Full technical specifications are on the website.
- Tracks and undercarriage: massive steel tracks and a heavy rear counterweight.
- Build checks: Mike inspects the wiring harnesses and found that some bundles were tied too tightly, pulling a wire out of the thermistor so the air conditioning wasn't working. He had the harness tension checked on the machines.
Mike notes that the PE80 sits next to the 6 and 12 ton machines he has also ordered.
