 Comment on this model.
This kit comprises boom reducer sections for the
Liebherr LG 1750 Mobile Crane and the
Liebherr LR 1750
Crawler Crane.
It is in Liebherr yellow, but it is a lighter yellow
than the yellow or early LR 1750 models.
Packaging
The kit comes in a
plain box with a sticker indicating that it contains the
parts. The parts are packed within foam rubber
and the
review set had no defects or missing parts.
No instructions are supplied.
Detail
and Features
The boom reducers enable the main boom sections to be
connected to the smaller luffing jib / derrick sections.
The section with the sign boards appears to be the same
as the top of the luffing jib usually supplied with the
base variants of the LG/LR 1750 models. The boom
sections are well made and strong.
Spare suspension bars are supplied (in the later design
using bolts) and plenty of bolts.
Also included is a mid-point attachment set between the
suspension bars and the boom which are used on the real
crane for lengthy booms to minimise the deflection
during erection. Two lengths of cables are
supplied which is a nice touch.
Quality
and Price
The metal parts are of a robust quality and are
painted well. As with many accessories they are not
cheap.
Overall
This kit adds flexibility to the configurations
available on the crane models and is a worthwhile
addition.
Footnotes
The kit was first made available in Summer 2012 and
it pairs up with the
