LIEBHERR HS 881 crawler crane w/ ICE pile driver attachment
Manufacturer: CONRAD
Scale: 1:50

Here is the CONRAD LIEBHERR HS 881 crane, you can get an idea
of the crawler cranes size with that construction worker waving there

The can is the standard Conrad setup with an operators
seat and a few side controls

Plastic rubbery linked tracks

Overhead shot to show the three pully drums

The boom can go from the ground to almost a 90 degree angle

Boom fully erected

At its max height (without any additional boom sections)
the crane reaches approx. 20 inches high

I've equipped this crane with a "ICE" pile driver kit
from ZON Models and painted it red

A rear generator hanger slids onto the crane counter weight

The generator is like the real thing with an exhaust pipe
and lifting bracket

The generator sets into place on the rear hanger

Metal tubing runs air and hydraulic lines along the side of the crane

Boom sections come apart for transport

Loaded up and off to another site the 881 goes
