Clark Michigan wheel loader history

The Clark Equipment Company took control of the Michigan Power Shovel Company in 1953. In those days the brand name Michigan was so synonymous with the manufacture of quality wheeled loading shovels that Clark continued to market the machines as Michigan.

These two videos offer a great insight into the history of this once great wheeled loader manufacturer who at the time produced a big range of shovels which culminated with the massive 675 which carried a 24 cubic yard bucket and was powered by twin Cummins engines which offered a power output rating of 1,270hp! The production run for these giant machines was relatively short, the model being discontinued in 1976 and only 14 of them being manufactured. 700x0_1304618688_scan0019-2
