CASE CX800 demolition excavator Manufacturer: CONRAD Scale: 1:50
Here is the awesome CASE CX800 demolition excavator from Conrad. You can get an idea of this machines size with that man standing beside it
The model comes in a nice storage box similar to that of the LIEBHERR 954 demolition excavator Conrad also makes
The model comes with all shown above. Demo boom w/ stands, standard boom and bucket w/ stand, and 2 locking pins
Unlike the regular CX800 that has plastic linked tracks, this model features metal linked tracks
For traveling purposes the tracks are kept pushed in tight
But for balance and stability when at work the tracks extend out from under
The operators cab is detailed with side controls as well as a full protective forward and overhead cab guard
The cab tilts upward for when using the demolition boom
Left side view with demo boom attached. Body features metal railings and ladder detail
Right side view, also features metal railings and ladders
At the end of the long boom is a rotating concrete crusher shear
The crusher's jaws open and close and can rotate 360 degrees
The demolition boom is fully detailed with hydraulic lines
Demo boom can be telescoped out and into 3 sections

The booms can be easily removed and switched out
Boom is placed on stands, pin removed, and then lowered and unhooked
Once unhooked machine just crawls over to ther boom
Crawls underneath and lifts to lock in place
Then the locking pin is re-inserted
The standard boom with bucket can be fitted into 2 different positions, like shown here with the straight boom setup

Orginal with the new demo
Who can reach the tallest??? The CX800 comes close in 2nd place
With its booms on trucks following behind the CX800 demo excavator heads off for its next meal of concrete and steel I-Beams
Here's a shot of the CX800 demolition excavator in action tearing down an old apartment building. The CX800 works great for this job because only feet away lies a historical building that can't be harmed
