1:50th Scale Liebherr LRB255 Drilling/Piling Rig

The Liebherr LRB255 is a modular system allowing the machine to be used for piling jobs with hydraulic and vibratory hammers and also drilling jobs with continuous flight augers and kelly drilling equipment. The 1:50th scale model presented here from NZG is in it's vibratory hammer configuration. It is possible that an accessory set will be released at a later date allowing the model to be configured differently.

The undercarriage on the model features an extending track frame to provide better stability. The metal tracks are free rolling and individually linked with tensioned idlers. The body features several opening compartments to gain access to the winches, of which there are three.

The cab is fully detailed inside with centre mounted display screen and full operator controls visible through the clear glazed windows. The cab roof has faling debris protection and rear view mirrors have been added.

The working end of the model is fully functional and positionable and even has the working lateral inclination adjustment, just like the real machine. The model is supplied in it's fully erected state straight out of the box and it can be collapsed into it's transport mode. The leader is over 53cm tall from base to tip with operating sheave head.

The model has hydraulic hoses fitted from the base carrier which are authentically shaped and hang accurately. The hoses also fit into the hammer head which has working adjustment on the pile gripping mechanism.
