Rob Sinclair has loved excavators since the age of 4, in particular the Åkerman H-series and Caterpillar 200-series, as well as models from British manufacturers, Hymac, Priestman and JCB. Now retired, he has worked for C. J. Pryor (the UK’s largest privately owned bulk earthmoving specialist), Volvo Construction Equipment and Caterpillar Global Mining (Dortmund). His favorite role at Dortmund was as service engineer for the RH200/6050, the Dortmund product and mining class shovel he admired most of all.
