Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. The excavator got its nickname following a naming competition on Christchurch radio station More FM.

At 40 metres (130 ft) reach, the machine can handle a 6 tonnes (5.9 long tons 6.6 short tons) concrete breaker. At full reach, a 2.5 tonnes (2.5 long tons 2.8 short tons) demolition attachment can be fitted to the hydraulic boom. The excavator is not suited for demolishing the bottom two storeys of a building. When the telescoping arm is not extended, the reach is 25 metres (82 ft). The tracked excavator weighs 220 tonnes (220 long tons 240 short tons) and has a maximum reach of 65 metres (213 ft). It was bought for around NZ$4m and imported to New Zealand by Auckland-based demolition firm Nikau Contractors, and arrived in the Port of Lyttelton in September 2011. The excavator is based on a 2008 Liebherr 984 that was heavily modified by Kocurek Excavators Ltd for the Birmingham-based demolition Coleman & Company.
