Thanks for the nice comments guysSmile Smile

DiggerDan. i got this from the Liebherr website.

(The Liebherr family business was established in 1949 by Hans Liebherr. The great success of his first mobile, easy-to-assemble and affordable tower crane was the foundation on which the company flourished. Today Liebherr is not only one of the world’s leading manufacturers of construction machinery but is also an acknowledged supplier of technically innovative user-oriented products and services in numerous other fields. Over the years the family business has grown into what is today a group of companies, employing a workforce of approx. 30,000 in more than 100 companies on all continents.) so i think it started Germany.

Very nice work indeed!! I too have been thinking about making a HS 895 out of my LR 1280, preferably with a big long boom but no jib. I couldn't find a good sized fairlead though, so nothing has come of it yet, but now that I know the TWH fairlead fits well size wise, I might contact TWH if they have one for me. I also hope they will start selling the seperate pieces (dragline bucket and clamshell bucket). The available buckets (Conrad / NZG) are too small for a crane this size.
