I was just browsing around google and found a new pic of the 31000 that I haven't seen yet, so I clicked on it and it went to another Diecast shop. They have the weight of the model listed at 65 POUNDS!!!! Not sure if this true weight of the model yet as I don't think the final product is completed yet. Just thought you guys who are interested in it might want to know. I remember a while back some guys were asking how heavy it was for shipping purposes.

So who all is for sure getting one? I know of 4 people getting one (gaz, me, craneman, and Ben). Anyone else

I have my name on one, hope it does surface next year! 65lbs sounds a bit heavy, but it could be. That will be my big crawler for next year, and some 11200 jibs.

Nice find! I am on the fence as of right now about the replica (looking forward to Conexpo). I like the first photo on the link to the site! That was taken early this spring (notice the Cianbro 16000 from the earlier post next to it as well as the 31's rigging). But this is also the first time I have seen a photo of thee 31000 with the "feet" up. And the 3rd one of the max capacity test...impressive!

Thanks Mr. CraneBrain! I've seen a few of those other pics on the Twh website, but couldn't make them bigger, I'd like to get some poster size prints of a few of those pics, I can't wait to see it

Jeez! That's almost 30kg's! I haven't reserved one but it seems DHS doesn't have them listed anymore though the Mani Store does.

If that is an accurate figure then it would also be nice to know the box dimensions to get an accurate shipping cost.

Dhs probably ran out of their supply so they took it off the list but I've heard from Twh they are still on schedule to deliver the 31000s on time in april

wish I could order 2. I would if I could afford them both
