Werikimbe area 2008
  While researching the origins of this machine which was found on the Carrai Plateau it was discovered that: · It is probably more than 150 years old and · The Ruston Proctor Co of Lincoln UK was building diesels engines a full eight years before Rudolph Diesel's engine was produced commercially.

Hi All
Found this on our way back from the Grampians. It has a nameplate which says HARMAN. I cannot find out anything about them on the net apart from an old Melbourne co. that imported heavy machinary, but made no mention of excavators. Any Ideas ??? The Structure next to it seems to have some sort of conveyer or maybe a chain for ?? Thanks Andrew Last edited by adonuff; 12th February 2010 at 03:06 PM.

Harman of Melbourne made a wide variety of equipment, from logging winches to locomotives and rail tractors. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the same Melbourne Harman that built this. It is the same Harman company that is around today too, they have a lot of history.

Looks like a bucket chain used when the angle was too great .
They probly never had conveyor belts back then. Harman and Jaques were Australian companys that built cranes and excavators They were gone by the early 60's They tried to compete with Bucyrus and the american stuff. Looks like a 10 RB size. I think harman was taken over and Jaques was taken over by Terex
