Hall Conservation Ltd was asked to undertake a condition survey on this excavator and produce a report with recommendations for treatment.
The wooden cab had been removed, exposing the internal mechanisms to the elements, there was severe flaking corrosion on the bucket of the excavator and algae growth on the treads.
In addition to researching the original cab design in order that it could be reproduced to protect the internal mechanism we also recommended the cleaning back and coating of all the exposed metalwork.
