Mammoet Merchandise launches its tallest ever crane collectible

about 13 hours ago

Mammoet Merchandise has announced that its largest ever 1:50 scale model, the Mammoet LG1750 SX3, is now available to purchase from its online and retail stores.

With a combined main boom and jib measuring 3.6 meters in length, it stands as one of the tallest Mammoet 1:50 model cranes ever produced.

The collectible is based on the Liebherr LG 1750 mobile crane, which is notable for having a mobile undercarriage that affords it the versatility to work on civil projects where space is limited.

The LG 1750 is also a popular crane for onshore wind turbine construction. For the past decade, Mammoet has used the LG 1750 extensively for work on wind farms all around the world.

Produced with meticulous attention to detail by German scale-model maker Conrad, this marks the first time that an LG 1750 model crane has been produced in Mammoet’s iconic red livery.

It is also the first to include a miniaturized SX3 boom system – a component that can be fitted to the lowest part of the LG 1750’s main boom to make it wider and stronger.

In addition to the SX3 kit, the collectible also comes with three different jib configurations (fixed fly, windmill and luffing), a derrick mast and a floating (detachable) split ballast tray.

These accessories allow the model to be built in a range of different configurations; another aspect that sets it apart and is sure to appeal to collectors.

The model was first unveiled at an open house hosted by Conrad in January 2024, and later at Modelshow Europe, held in Ede, Netherlands, in March.

Paul Gregoire, Managing Director at Mammoet Merchandise, said: “The LG 1750 is an important and iconic crane in the Mammoet fleet, and we are delighted to finally bring this impressive, and unique, scale model to collectors and model enthusiasts. It’s a stunning showcase of the incredible engineering that goes into the design and assembly of these powerful lifting machines.

We currently have one on display at Mammoet Store Experience in Schiedam, the Netherlands, and welcome visitors of all ages to come and see it for themselves”.
