THE ALMOND BLOSSOM RAILWAY

Un Pequeño Ferrocarrile de Vía Estrecha - A Tiny Estate Railway Of A Very Narrow Gauge
SELF LOADING MINI DUMPER 
 
 
 
In October 2008, after several years of researching into the availability of small, motorised, earth moving equipment from electric wheelbarrows to mini diggers, we took delivery of our Hinowa, self loading, tracked, mini dumper! This fantastic machine, made in Italy and fitted with a powerful Honda petrol engine, will carry up to 500kg loads. Model Ref: HS400
We immediately put it to work to see what it could do. Driving it into a pile of ballast, it picked up full shovel loads effortlessly......
 
.....and emptied them into the bucket with very little spillage
Then the bucket was tipped with full hydraulic control to discharge the contents into the required area. No more shovelling and wheelbarrowing for me!!!  
What a great asset. We purchased the machine direct from Hinowa UK in Winchester. http://www.hinowauk.com/
