|  Comment on this model.
This kit comprises a wind plant jib 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
One part is a boom section with a lifting head, and the second part is the auxiliary wind plant jib. The parts are cast well and include plastic pulleys, and additionally the auxiliary jib has tiny plastic parts which appear to be erection rollers.
Plenty of bolts are supplied and the connection of the parts is a latch arrangement so that the weight of the jib does not rest on the tip when the crane is being assembled.
The auxiliary jib is rated at 120 tonnes so the hooks supplied with the base model of the cranes is too large and a smaller hook needs to be used to look right.
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 February 2013 and it pairs up with the Boom Reducers - Conrad part 99921. |
