Powerfab
From Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki
Powerfab was a brand of Welsh manufactured compact excavators built in the 1980s, before the Japanese Mini excavator boom took off. They were basically a small back actor (Backhoe) on a set of wheels for towing with outriggers for working off. They were powered by a small Honda or Briggs & Stratton type engine. They were manoeuvred by pulling or pushing with the bucket. The operator sat on top of the power pack. They could be towed behind a car with a drawbar attachment. Latter models were tracked machines like the Japanese Micro excavators. Powerfab company folded in the early 1990s.
