How'd you reserve one?

Also.... wouldn't really be surprised if it was a huge hit that they'd continue production on it... but who knows.. hope i'm lucky enough to get one!

how do you reserve a crane that has no price yet?

i think its going to be a limited #, only 2 people have ordered this crane so far so not a big market for a model i would think, im sure its going to be expensive as all hell too, look at the price of the 18000, if the detail is the same on the 31000 and its way bigger of a crane expect the price to be way bigger as well

i would like to get one as well but we shall see, and depending on the price also. would be nice to see an LR 13000 model though like Jason said LOL

Man I really hope its not too expensive! I'd love to have one! But yes a LR 13000 would be even better!

Oh and for those who forgot what the crane looks like!

she sure is a big crane.... model would be a huge beast thats for sure... im betting somewhere in the PTC range

after seeing that Lampson crane next to it, the 31000 would look pretty good in blue!!! Whistle repaint?

Cost of the model .... eehhh maybe round $2,000? Shipping? Lucky if its not truck freight shipping... Price of cutting a hole in your ceiling? DIY $0.00 ... hmmm

Gonna have to wait and see whats included with the model, luffer? is the boom still hand made twisted,. out of square brass pieces? or has it been cast? winches not turning... hmm....

I'd hope they would include everything with it! boom extensions separate. yadda yadda yadda...
Wonder how much the model would weigh?

Its an amazing crane to say the least, a beast an American made beast!

Thats exactly what I was thinking. The multi-crawler setup is pretty awesome, but something about a two crawler crane really draws me to them. To me it is the classic crawler crane configuration. I think I will definately hold off for the big 13000. But to each his own I guess!Teeth.
