Benati?

[Cat 328d lcr]

Has anyone heard of a wheel loader MFG called benati? Theres a loader in a mall parking lot I found and the most it says on it is Benati. I searched it up on google but only one pic comes up of a loader that is similar. Wondering if anyone ever heard of it

Thank you very much!

Can anyone shed some light on what model number would be about the size of a cat 966?

Benati made Crawler Loaders,Backhoes ,Loaders,& other gear.
They were popular in Europe.There is a site from Italy,called MMI (or similar),which has good pics of European gear.
Benati briefly had dealers in Australia in the early 90s,but never took hold here.
