Liebherr LR1280, Model:

Blood, sweat and tears! That is what it costed me to build this crawler crane model (1:50) in Mammoet colors. I am used to making the mobile crane models, but these crawlers are a world on it’s own, all the reeving work is amazing!

Making details in 1:50 I am glad this is stuff isn’t as fragile in real life.

Fully erect it’s about 1,8m high.

In real life this is a medium crawler crane with a lifting capacity of 280tons and an operational weight of 224,4 tons!

Mammoet ordered 25 of these trucks 15 with 4-axle configuration and 10 with a 5-axle configuration, therewith upscaling the total amount that the truck is allowed to weight.
