Just bought 2 of the 1400s. Not going to miss out on this gem.

Im a little concerned with this:

Your display model and it is missing the hook ring and appears to have yellow paint bleeding through in some areas. I hope these were painted Mammoet colors from the factory.

Yes I also saw that and mentioned it on their FB page. I suspect the final production will not have these flaws but it was a shame that they used these photos as their promotional photos.

Hey Paul, after looking closely at one of my YCC hook blocks, id be willing to bet that isn't yellow paint after all. I believe it is the bare metal. My old YCC hook block has a scrape on the corner of the safety latch and it looks exactly the same as in the pic above.

Just a heads up, I got a shipping notice for the 2 Mammoet 1400s. Check your email if you ordered them!

Wow just seen this now! As a gold member with Mammoet store I thought I might have had a notification about this release.
Thankfully this forum is a good place for finding these things out.

Hi Cranecraz, looking at your photos I noticed that there was a empty space for the keyring, did you get one or is yours like mine there is no keyring. Just wondering if anyone else has the same issue.

If your talking about the ring on the front of cab, I noticed there wasn't one there but I only took it out of the box quickly and took those photos and put it back. Didn't look to see if it was in the box or not.

Hi Steve, I've just received mine today and like yours there was no key ring, it must not be part package.
