Okay, I will risk a flogging! Not to be a smart***, but a true collector would never have missed this. It was announced at the DHS open house and has been on their site since then. Now, I know you love cranes just as much as me, so where have you been??? Oh I know, the same place I was when I missed the LTM 1070 in Sarens and the AC500 in Sarens....  All kidding aside, this should be a good piece and I am quite excited about it. Rumors are that it will be about $1,900.00 so start saving..... It is hard to keep up with everything that has been coming out lately! Bryce

They have not made it yet..I used to have PTC, it has many detailed parts & huge! all come at cost. But sold it away,because jib tip touch my ceiling.. TheTWH 31000 also a huge crane, I am sure it will have a lot of details too, since it is to be made by TWH. If you talk about details, price should not be an issue. If this type of details in many years ago, in OHS/CCM era, then it may not affordable to just anyone,only those big buck earner can afford...

I think the rumoured price could be in the right ball park,
if you look at the 18000 and when it was released 6 ot 7 yrs ago,it was light years ahead of anything,and wasn't a whole lot dearer than the cc8800
it wouldn't be fair to compare a model made in the last year or so to one made 7 yrs ago with regard to detail,as every year manufacturers are trying to out do each other in the detail and features department,
If i was to come into some money I would without doubt go for the 31000 over the PTC,a factor of that is I just can't stand the look of that crane,anyway... this should be a very exciting time
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?
... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt
The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Maybe our money from the presales of the 4100 is going to build the 31000? If TWH is having troubles we may not see the 31000 model for another year or so? I for one would love to see this in model form but I am still holdig out and crossing all of my fingers for the LR13000. JAson

hummer13, Manitowoc requested and is funding the model of the 31000. Not the case with the P&H 4100 XPC. Randy M. Smolenack RMSmodels@aol.comrandy.m.smolenack@us.army.mil

This does bring up an important point, weather the model manufacturer was contracted by the OEM to produce the model and funded by them also. Or are they going it alone, self financing the project. I had not considered that, Mark

April of next year? That is pretty aggressive for such an undertaking! Any bets on actual delivery date? 80M main and 40M jib puts it at about the same height as the PTC, maybe a bit taller. Price is not all that unreasonable either. Looks like I am going to have to talk Mammoet into getting one so I can get the model and repaint it!! LOL!

will have to see pictures of the model first before deciding if its really worth it or not.... 120m of boom puts it just over 7ft tall, pretty healthy size crane.... im curious to see how well it turns out first though

Looks like I am going to have to talk Mammoet into getting one so I can get the model and repaint it!! LOL! I agree about the price but I have some concerns about the model. 1) Has TWH address the "hand made brass boom" problems? Will the boom sections be twisted? 2) Have they created new winches for the crane? Unlike the ones for the 18000/16000. 3) Is the luffing jib attached by rivets like the 18000 and unable to remove without drilling? I'd really like to know these before I purchase one (or two). I know someone from TWH surfs DHS often, Maybe he'd like to chime in? Theres no doubt in my mind that the 31000 will be the biggest, baddest crane model ever (aside from PTC). I would just like to know if TWH has addressed the issues with their past models to improve them. For $1,800 I would hope so. My faith is still with you TWH the 4100 series cranes are awesome! Would just like to know if the problems have been fixed!

Anyone know how much you need to put down to reserve one?? I agree that April is an agressive date to hit, but to the point the Manatowoc is paying for it, they will probably make it. This is probably why other less funded projects get delayed.
