This set provides a large load intended for use with a
heavy crane.
Packaging
The set comes in a high quality Mammoet branded box,
with the parts wrapped in soft paper, and all held in an
expanded polystyrene tray.
There were no defects or missing parts on the review
set.
There is no information included with the set. However
assembly of the full lifting arrangement is relatively
straightforward.
Detail
and Features
Spreader beams are included and they are metal with a
very good finish, and the capacity is marked with
graphics. There is a 100 ton beam and two 50 ton
tubular beams
Also in the set are nylon rope slings and web slings in
appropriate lengths. They are nicely made parts.
There are diecast shackles rated at 120 tons. These are high
quality parts with working screw locking bolts.
However as they are diecast they will not bend so care
has to be taken when using them.
The beams and slings could be used to lift other loads,
or as haulage loads.
The generator load comes mounted on two legs which are
screwed in place, and these should be removed to display
the load suspended.
The generator is a substantial piece made up of a number
of components. Various grades of plastic are used
and the overall effect is impressive. Graphics are
used to add detail, and some of these are very small and
detailed.
Quality
and Price
This is a high quality set. It is very large
and in part that accounts for the level of pricing.
Overall
Owners of big model cranes will welcome the chance to
own a realistic and impressive load. Weiss
Brothers have done a very good job with this piece.
Footnotes
The set was released at ConExpo in 2017.
