I had a certain new model on order for some time, and today a package arrived from Germany...   Yes, from Hans Warner I just opened up the package, and, oh my, what a beautiful model!!! All I can say is: "WooooHooooo!!!!!!!":shock: :shock: A few years ago, Liebherr introduced a new type of crane in their product line. A telescopic crawler. Pretty simple actually, take a LTM 1100 and LR 1100, throw them in the blender and voilá, LTR 1100!! Ever since I saw the real thing on the Liebherr site and Bauma, I've been waiting for a model. Even considered building something like it myself. But, there was a model announced after all, and I pre-ordered it from Hans Warner a while ago. It was finally delivered yesterday. So, here is my review, with something special in the final post!! After opening the package, this is what comes out!! The model is packed in the usual Conrad style styrofoam box with a carton sleeve. Like other Liebherr models the box features photo's of various examples of the real machine at work.    Opening the box reveals the model, typical Conrad-style, with a nice display of teh various components.  A nice added bonus, a paper Liebherr flag is included with the model.  All the parts displayed. Like the real machine the tracks can be separated from the undercarriage to decrease the transport size and weight.  Closer look at the undercarriage and the outriggers. Unfortunately the outriggers are attached to the undercarriage with the standard plastic Conrad pins, so I'll have to replace them with something else.  Undercarriage ballast, which is also detachable, together with the small jib, two kinds of hooks (a doubl with tree sheeves and a single with two sheeves) as well as the second cabledrum.  The main ballast is composed of 6 pieces. Two large slabs, and 4 smaller blocks which go on top of the slabs on either side.  Base model with the outriggers.

Continuing... Model build up with all the counterweight pieces, secondary cable drum, small jib (at the side of the boom) and crawlers set narrow.  Model seen from the rear with a clear view of the counterweight. This can be lifted on the model using two sets of chains just like on a large crawler crane. But because of a strong wind I haven't made any photo's of this yet.  Model seen from the left...  Boom erected with small jip attached and the crawlers in the working position. Like all good cranes the cab is of course tiltable.  Other side...  Close-up of the basic model...  The jib is positionable. It's too bad there are no more jib parts included with the model. Other jibs from Liebherr models (LTM 1030 or LTM 1200-5.1) don't fit either.  Seen from the top...  First boom part extended . The boom consists of a 6 parts in total...  Completely extended and in a near vertical elevation the model reaches about 109 cm (43 inches) high.

Final set of photo's. A comparison of the LTR 1100 from Conrad and the Sennebogen 683 from Ros. With both booms at the same elevation and fully extended the Sennebogen is clearly much lower than the Liebherr.   Rear view...  Front view...  Booms retracted...  Booms completely lowered and the tracks on narrow...  Other side...  Final photo...

Mine comes in today and I pick it up tomorrow. I have already planned on doing a larger jib for this model. Jason

Jason Jason, it's unfortunate that there isn't a larger jib included, but I just got a tip suggesting tthe jib of the Liebherr LTM 1070-4.1 might fit. I'll be getting a second model in a few months for some custom purposes. Those crawlers gave me a lot of ideas!!

Jason Jason, let me know if and when you are able to do a jib for this model, i would be interested in buying one from you since i plan on purchasing this model in the future

Nice photos Remko. I got mine yesterday as well, but it's already suffered the fate of having been stripped down and in the process of a repaint. It's really a nice piece with the usual detail and quality that Conrad produces. Very solid with few plastic pieces on it.
I've got a few ideas for a luffer as well and I'll see how they work out. I'll post a few pics over the weekend, or as soon as the paint cures.
Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years.

I'm thinking about repainting it as well, but I don't know which livery yet... There are several interesting choices, but I'm also considering a fictional company in which more of my models will be repainted. On the other hand, this looks good too... http://rollingthunder.piranho.de/Bilder%20rhein%20ruhr%20krane%20raupe.htm

Cant go wrong with that paintjob Remko. It's almost worth getting another just to do it up with the black and red, but I figured Bob would have a Mammoet one done up soon. LOL. I'll send you some pictures of whats going on.

A link to a page with a bunch of LTR 1100's photos on it. I think the paint on the first one would be interesting to see done. http://www.janvanwees.nl/LTR%201100/index.htm

theres a very good reason for not having a larger jib on a small hyraulic.
i wish i could get the manual to get more in depth but,after running a smaller one my theroy is this.
your never completely level most of the time in a crawler.especially with the smaller ones,they kinda scoot here and there around the job,the hydraulic boom wont handle the side loading of just being out of level on a capacity pick.(it should have allowances built into its design and laid out in the chart for how much you are of level .)the one i ran allowed up to 5 degrees off level. but only had 108 of boom with the jib.the charts got more sterngent on prep and conditions had other jibs had been mounted and being used .l
to have the addtional jib ,preperations would have to be made to get the crane on an even surface,(may as well hire a AT, RT or truck mount hydraulic for the day for what its gonna take if site conditions are that bad.cost $$$$ to prep.)
the LTR1100 is ideal for those windmill jobs and probably designed to just that. here there and every where as fast and effeciently as possable.it dosent need a longer jib to tail out blades ,move mats or unload trucks
it probably a decent machine, but pounded out to fill a void in the market before competion gets to thick,
,give it time ,im sure the next generation well offer a jib ,probably a hydraulic luffer.

It might be that Conrad uses the same molds for various models to be more cost effective. dirtboy wrote:...sorry to jack your thread Remko. It's just a great model.

Well, as you can see on the photo's posted above by Dirtboy, in the link I posted to the black crane, and in the official brochure, the crane has a full jib available. Conrad just didn't include it with the model.
