The 155W is a wheeled mobile excavator with an
adjustable boom. It has a maximum dig depth of 5m.
It weighs around 16 tonnes.
Packaging
The model comes in an Atlas branded box and is held between
a pair of trays.
There were no defects or missing parts on the review model.
The model is fully assembled out of the box and there is
a little information about
the real machine on the box.
Detail
The model has a simple chassis
with no drive train, but the tyres have a good tread
pattern and they are mounted on detailed wheels. At one end of the chassis is is a simple
metal blade.
The cab has good detail and inside there is a steering
wheel, seat and control levers. On the outside there
are lights, and there is a plastic mirror and grab rail.
A grille on the side of the cab is formed by graphics.
The body is very good, with a painted indented grille on
the cab side, and the rear is nicely decorated and includes a video camera.
Many small graphics add detail.
There are thin metal handrails and steps lead to
textured surfaces on top of the body and there is a nice
etched grille.
Hydraulic lines run from the engine area to the boom and
silver pipes run up the boom. Delicate rubber hydraulic
hoses run to all rams. Friction pins are used for the
boom and stick connections and they create a realistic
look. They are small graphics which give a realistic
look.
The metal bucket is simple
with sharp teeth.
Features
There is a steering axle and the wheels can be steered to a good angle.
The body turns smoothly on the undercarriage and the blade can be raised and lowered easily.
The movement of the boom sections and
bucket is generally very good although the first stage
boom cannot lower fully restricting digging at depth a
little.
Quality
It is high quality with a high metal content.
The paintwork and graphics are very good.
Price
The model is moderately priced.
Overall
This is a typical high quality
and well made model by NZG. As always a detachable
bucket would have been a nice touch.
Footnotes
The model was released for the Bauma Exhibition in 2025.
