    Triple axle X 4!

    These guys are able to transport the 375 with a lot less axles....

    Triple axle X 4!

    I figure this would be enough to maybe carry a D11 instead of a light 349F? ;)

    Smallest lattice boom crawler crane?

    The look of the cab doesn't match America cranes which has fairly consistent box like cab I think you are right that the cab looks most like that of a Unit crane. also the fact that Unit makes a lot of these smaller ones. Not a clear picture but it sseems like that one i saw is in very good...

    Smallest lattice boom crawler crane?

    I would say the one in the pic is even smaller than the BE 15b. Ailso def smaller than America 998 90ton: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203068454717 Like i said, would be hard to find an even smaller lattice boom crawler crane. Much appreciated if anyone can find me the model of this crane. Thanks

    Smallest lattice boom crawler crane?

    I saw this recently and thinking this must be one of the smallest lattice boom crawler crane with extendable main boom sections? Anyone know what it is? i couldn't get closer to find the name. wondering if there's anything even smaller. probably a capacity of 10ton or less?

    Two cranes collide

    looks like a fix jib rather than a luffing jib. would be very interested to see how that was folded over like that

    Just bought a Liebherr LTM1160-2

    lol... guess you gotta jump in headfirst and start somewhere? It's just a toddler actually in the whole crane range. Hope you find success and upgrade or add a LTM 1500 or 1750 soon ;) I can tell you that i collect crane models and i can't get enough of them. You might find yourself...

    Another crane collapse

    From the final resting position, it definitely look like it fell backward over and not forward... Here's another guy theorizing: I am actually surprised to also learn that this crane does not use extensive deep foundation attachment but rather just a lot more depending on balance. kinda...

    What do you do if you drop a small tool into the area around the winch drum?

    1/14 is too big for me. and too much cost ;(. But it is cool to see a model crane over 10m tall lol..

    What do you do if you drop a small tool into the area around the winch drum?

    I would pay to see a luffing jib being rigged up! haven't seen any personally except on youtube ;( even the luffing jib sets are hard to find for model cranes

    What do you do if you drop a small tool into the area around the winch drum?

    LTM 1500 next to XCMG XCA1200 and its separate very heavy boom. Makes the LTM 1500 looks small. XCA1200 is almost a chinese copy of the LTM11200. in this model, there is even an adapter that will allow for use of the 11200 luffing jib! I would pay to see either one of these in action!

    This ones going to leave a mark

    I wish they would have included more of the boom at the top of video and less of the water at the bottom...lol

    This ones going to leave a mark

    Let the blame game begin....lol... Liebherr was quick to make statement trying to wash their hand. So did Ropeblock. I am sure ropeblock supplier will also issue a negative statement and and will just blame it on the workers that casted the hook? lol..

    This ones going to leave a mark

    Def looks like that's what happened. I think i saw a post somewhere that this is supposed to be a lifting test of 5,000t. That ballast barge next to it is supposed to be the test load. And this is exactly what would happen if a load that heavy is suddenly taken off. The boom just snaps...

    What do you do if you drop a small tool into the area around the winch drum?

    it's amazing that a lot of these full length luffing jibs are actually a lot longer than the actual main boom! I
