The Liebherr HS 8130.1 is a duty cycle
crane which can be configured for foundation engineering
work.
This
accessory set includes a Liebherr LSC 8-18 Slurry Wall
Cutter and the associated equipment that has to be
fitted to the Liebherr HS 8130.1.
Packaging
It comes in a Liebherr-branded
box and the various parts are packed into two
expanded polystyrene trays.
There were no defects or missing parts on the review
kit.
An instruction leaflet is included. It is
simplistic in places and assumes some knowledge by the
collector. Not all parts are covered by the
instructions.
Detail
The
kit includes two large drums, one for the energy chain
and one for the cuttings discharge. The drums are
detailed in rigid plastic and have metal work platforms.
There is a diesel tank modelled underneath and drum
motors are modelled on the inside.
The discharge hose and energy chain are made of soft
rubber-like material and they rest realistically.
An additional drum is clipped inside the lower jib
section. A hydraulic oil cleaner is fitted to the
jib butt.
Plastic guide frames clip to the jib. The jib head
is a special lattice metal part which includes large
plastic guide wheels for the hoses, and metal pulleys
for the crowd winch.
The LSC 8-18 cutter is an impressive part. It has
a metal turning device on the top, and the frame of the
cutter is metal too. The steering and guide plates
are modelled and there are good looking mesh sections.
The cuttings discharge pump is modelled and hydraulic
hoses run to it.
The cutters are modelled in detail with the separate
cutting picks formed.
Features
Some of the parts can be used as transport loads.
The drums can be rotated but they are not free-rolling
which means that it is possible to tension the hoses to
get a good appearance.
The internal drum on the jib has no brake so unwinds the
rope too easily.
The turning device allows the cutter to be angled
differently compared to the crane.
The cutter wheels rotate freely.
Quality
This is a high quality kit with most parts being made in metal.
The paint quality is very
good.
Price
It is
relatively pricey.
Overall
This
kit turns the base model into an impressive foundation
engineering machine. It combines very nice
detailing with some appropriate functionality.
Footnotes
This kit was announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2023.
