History and service record of SH400-3 to SH800LHD-5

  • The Link-Belt partnership. Sumitomo's own company history records a 1972 joint development agreement with Link-Belt Corp. that set up an international division of work, a Chiba factory in 1975 to reinforce hydraulic excavator production, and, in 1976, exports of Sumitomo-built hydraulic excavators to FMC Corporation for the U.S. market. History, Sumitomo Construction Machinery.
  • From licence to joint venture. Link-Belt's excavator arm dates the partnership to 1962, when Link-Belt Speeder signed a licensing agreement with Sumitomo Heavy Industries to build cranes. In 1986 Link-Belt Construction Equipment Co. was formed as a joint venture of FMC and Sumitomo Heavy Industries, in 1998 its excavator division became LBX Company, and in 2010 Sumitomo Construction Machinery acquired full ownership of LBX. History, Link-Belt Excavators.
  • Brands that carried Sumitomo machines. In a July 2025 owners' forum thread, a land-clearing and quarry owner asks which brands had Sumitomo build their machines between 1990 and 2010, naming Case and Link-Belt in the USA, and mentions a 1994 JCB JS300 that its owner said had come into Canada. Sumitomo partnership machines?, Heavy Equipment Forums, 9 July 2025.
