[Mobile Crane] LIEBHERR LTM1200-5.1 Mammoet Colors
-
Image Intensive
Scale: 1 to 50
Weight: About 3 kilograms
Comes with: Lattice fly jib extension. Hook and accessories.
The box, a bit of 'cheapo' feeling, a 30cm rule as scale.
The crane itself.
Stylish steering. All steering modes on the real thing can be done on the model (and this is also one of the reason I would buy it).
They said that the real crane can lift 200 tons in this configuration. The configuration itself can be done on the model, but not lift 200 tons, nia...
Price? SGD 450. Sells on the net for 480-550 inclusive of freight.
Now finding suitable location and time to bring it for an outdoor shoot. Might get some weird looks for people but thats alright...
Some pains; except for price, the weight is not very friendly, plus the boom's 'hydraulic' piston cannot do too much cycles; my friend changed his once per year when it became loose!
But I hope this weird collection (I heard only ten odd people like to collect crane and construction related equipment in Sg) can also have its own share in Die Cast toys... Besides, this isn't really much of a toy, not suitable for children! -
$550 for this monster...

wow...nice lookin crane
u mean the weights behind the cupola are adjustable?? where do they sell the spare parts for the cranes??
i bought 1 some yrs back...nt quite sure whats the model but its by siku, yellow in colour and has a cross-jointed boom(the non-adjustable kind, like those used by tower cranes). but too bad the weight behind are fixed

Nice Mobile crane
enjoy this from my father collection
with my Evo 9 hang!

Woah, larrylee, I bet that is a Demag CC series crawler crane? Exact model I not sure, do enlighten me...
Ah yes, the counterweights are adjustable, the weight may seem a certain amount, but when come to 'counter' the weight, nia, the crane still depends heavily on its outriggers (the little things that stick out).
Regarding the Siku crane, I also have one, yeah, the counterweights are not removable, I find it quite pain to do and cannot lift heavy things; the crane tends to topple easily!
I have only got in touch with collector grade crane models recently, about three weeks ago. It took several sleepless nights to decide whether to buy or not!
I am heading for the Demag AC500-2 with luffing fly jib as the next crane, requiring a total bill of 900-1100 SGD!
Now that is really expensive...! -
Impressive crane and photos you have there! WHat camera are you using?
-
Oh, Konica Minolta Dynax 5D, 24-85mm lens, hoping to get a macro lens so can go nearer and have a slightly nicer effect.Originally posted by HeXy:Impressive crane and photos you have there! WHat camera are you using? -

Oh, the following is the luffing fly jib...
Copyright Azcrane.com
Its very very long... but can only support less than 10 tons at its end, for the real thing. Weight is sacrificed for height (can reach up to 149 metres in real situation).
The 1200 comes with two lattice sections, one lattice adaptor and one lattice/solid jib...
Photos tomorrow, cause haven't take yet... -
that is simply crazy!

WTF

The jib is called a lattice jib.Originally posted by nicholademus:wow...nice lookin crane

That model is a stepped down configuration of the Liebherr LG1550 . The real equipment can lift a max of 550tons . But in that toy crane (that Siku crane is a toy crane , not a true model crane.) configuration , the crane can lift only about 150-250tons* . Theres another Siku crane, the Mega Space Lifter . Ist also modelled after a LG1550 , but with the max config for heavy lifting , with derrick and ballast . In that config , it can lift close to 500tons.
* Capacity is estimated. -
OMG.. Now that is long!! Height of 149 meters! Wow...

cool....if onli will get to see the real thing...
i've noticed there's a Demag AC500-1 for sale too...wats the diff between 1 and 2? -
The Demag AC500-2 boasts a new SSL system . SSL stands for Sideways Super Lift. If i rmbr correctly , the AC500-1 comes in a Demag label . The Demag AC500-2 however , comes in TerexDemag colours . Also , in the AC500-1 , it has a small hook , having only a pathetic single sheave line hook . The AC500-2 have a chunkier and larger hook .Originally posted by nicholademus:cool....if onli will get to see the real thing...

I like em! Wanted to get them but i can't seem to find any stores selling these kinda construction vehicles anymore... There used to be one @ Ginza Plaza.

There are shops selling them at Orchard . One of them is located at Meridian Shopping centre , second level . Another one i cant rmbr , but is located near teh Meridian .Originally posted by wonderamazement:I like em!

Anw , even so , be prepared to fork out about $300 - $1500 if you want to buy any of them. -
I saw a pretty small one... Ard $150 back then... which is about nearly a decade ago...Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:There are shops selling them at Orchard . One of them is located at Meridian Shopping centre , second level . Another one i cant rmbr , but is located near teh Meridian .

This thing is truly an engineering marvel. Cant wait to see the crane when everything is folded in..Originally posted by TIB1224Y:Oh, the following is the luffing fly jib...

Actually the crane's luffing fly jib cannot be transported by the crane carrier itself. It needs at least a convoy of 6-8 trailers (for the 91 metres luffing fly jib), plus another 4-6 trailers for the counterweights...
One operation of these cranes require lots of manpower, rigging up the crane lifting into position, lots to do... -
i just love these machines. used to see these machines at work on one of the programs showed on discovery channel, 4got the title. nice and interesting collections
-
amazing machines...remember standing next to the window for hours watching it work when i was younger...while there're a number of us here talking abt flat 6s and V10s and 12s, enzos porsches and JDMs, great to know that there're collectors like u who has interest on the tonnage and abilities of these...have lots to learn from u guys
the outdoor photoshoot would be interesting if we could have the cranes n cars...sure would attract more attention though -
Ok, for those who are wondering what the set comes with, the following is the complete set of the crane.
Crane itself, foldaway jib beside the boom, two lattice sections (those with lots of 'X') and the counterweights.
Was really bored last night, so dug out this old Ferrari F50 (luckily its 1:18, or else headache for future collections!). Believe me, the Ferrari model is ten years old. Still shiny dah (Cause I never play with it so it still looks new...).

Thats why I am thinking of going to the photoshoot on the 9th...Originally posted by nicholademus:amazing machines...remember standing next to the window for hours watching it work when i was younger...while there're a number of us here talking abt flat 6s and V10s and 12s, enzos porsches and JDMs, great to know that there're collectors like u who has interest on the tonnage and abilities of these...have lots to learn from u guys

But personally I might be going down for a personal shoot coming weekend, maybe to VivoCity as well. Sundays are quite a headache, and I guess you guys know the water in the rooftop pool (urgh, you might puke at the smell; I can still remember despite miles away from it!) and kids running about... Models can become potential 'skateboards', not to talk about the damage bah...
Oh haha I knew ScaniaN113CRBluver for a few months. He was the one who introduced me to these crane and after that we hunt for models. Currently I am finding PT job to host the hobby, believe me, its a pain to decide and even harder to buy it! -
Decades ago diesel also only less than $1.10 nia. Prices all going up lah.Originally posted by wonderamazement:I saw a pretty small one... Ard $150 back then... which is about nearly a decade ago...
