Here is a custom MAX-ER for my Manitowoc 16000 that I built. It used to be the 18000's, and used to be Lampson blue, everything was repainted, and was rebuilt to fit a 16000.

Nice job sweet. The 16000 actually uses a shorter attachment or shear frame then a 18000. The floating counterweight trays are more popular on the 16000 models. But sharp model good work

It's pretty sad when the only modeling tool you own is a box cutter.

Thanks. Yes you are correct, but it was so much easier to just use the setup from the 18000 maxer, didn't feel like building a new attachment system. The floating cw trays are nice, but my favorite ones are the wheeled type. I based mine off of this one:

Looks great. Did you put the luffer from the 18000 on it as well?

Thanks Dan. I have not tried to to put the luffer on yet, it seems to be to big for it, looks unproportional to the rest of the 16000.
