Type

Poclain TC45 tracked shovel

Comments

Metallic. Big problem of finishing: the paint, very thick, does not hold. Moulding burrs. The cab is in transparent plastic very approximately painted. The multiple rivets are more or less well laid and very unobtrusive. The jacks have an excessive diameter. In short, the only positive thing is that it reproduces a French shovel.

This excavator is equipped with a triangular bucket specially designed for digging rainwater drainage ditches.

History

The TC45 is the tracked equivalent of the famous TY45 on wheels. This machine was released in 1963.
