The
Liebherr 36 XXT has a vertical
reach of 35.8m and a horizontal reach of 31.5m.
Depending on the pump it has an output of up to 167m³/h.
It is mounted on a Mercedes-Benz Arocs 6x4 chassis.
Packaging
The model comes in a
Liebherr branded box and it is wrapped in foam
rubber.
The review model had no defects or missing parts.
There is no information about the real machine or the
model. The only assembly is to fit door mirrors, roof aerial
and rear light bar.
Detail
The transmission and suspension is modelled largely in
plastic, with
the
steering modelled for functionality. The wheels look good although the
tyres appear the same on all axles.
The
Arocs cab has
door mirrors and an aerial, and the interior is fairly
basic, but at the front the grille looks good. There
are no number plates as this is a generic model.
The
fold-out outrigger beams are
metal and the pad pistons are screw threads. There
are sharp graphics on the beams.
There are textured walking surfaces at the rear, and the
pump is nicely detailed including the piston tubes which
seem to be plastic but with an excellent colour match. The handrails are also
metal. At the back the hopper has a grille and
a lid.
The boom
sections are metal with a Liebherr graphic on the first
section and a rubber
hose at the end, and the pipework is plastic. Most
of the pipe connections line up well but a couple were
off a bit.
The colour match on the plastic hydraulic ram jackets
is very good.
Features
The front axle has excellent steering with a very
good range of movement and the rear axles have some
suspension movement. The model rolls very well.
The outriggers
pull out with the front pair having telescopic sections.
The
pads can be screwed down.
The articulated boom opens and rotates and the full range of
movement of the original machine can be replicated.
It is stable with the outriggers out. At full
extension the boom did not bleed down during the review.
The hopper has an opening cover.
Quality
This is a robust model
with a high metal content.
The
paint is very good and
the graphics are very sharp.
Price
It is reasonable value for money.
Overall
This
concrete pump model is very functional, and the placing
boom performs well. It is a strong and robust model
which looks good.
