IHI????? That’s what I thought when I saw this machine a few weeks ago at a local ski center. At first I thought it might be the name of the company that operates this excavator but other markings indicated that IHI was indeed the brand name. Google doesn’t turn up much for this nameplate other than some links to mini excavators under the Kato U.S. website. As it turns IHI is a Japanese industrial concern that makes just about everything. If you’re so inclined you can visit their website here.
Now you can tell your friends and family you saw an IHI.
