The "Joachim Alpers GMBH" limited edition model collection

This section will display the collection of limited edition models in the company colours of Joachim Alpers.

The Joachim Alpers GMBH firm has been running as a successful company in the Construction, Earthmoving and Demolition fields for over 20 years. Mr Joachim Alpers, owner of the Joachim Alpers GMBH started off as a small work and pay company working for farmers doing various jobs in the harvesting season, but as that sort of work is only seasonal, he soon decided to buy the first excavator to be able to start off in the ground work business.
Over the past 20 years the company started growing slowly to be able to fit in to the market situation.
At the moment, Joachim Alpers GMBH is a successful small company with 20 employees and an extensive fleet of machinery. There are various types of work that the company undertakes, for example ground works of all kinds, demolition, roadworks, sandpits and they also have a self scraping machine to be able to use wet sand.
Alpers has a sister company which exists in East Germany, known as the Erdbau GMBH sülte,
which was established in 1991 in mecklenburg-vorpommern from Mr Joachim Alpers.

Liebherr R924 Tracked Excavator

The fourth model in the Joachim Alpers collection is the Liebherr R924 from Conrad. Only 150 of the
models are being made and it was released in December 2004

This model shares an almost identical casting to the Liebherr R914 with the exception that the counterweight
has the 924 markings. The undercarriage is finished in grey with black rubber tracks.

The rear counterweight has the Joachim Alpers markings, along with smaller markings on the side engine
covers. The boom is printed with the company name and telephone details.

This is another great addition to the Joachim Alpers collection and is available now.

 

Actros 4-axle dumptruck with Nooteboom ASD40-22 trailer

The third model in the collection is the Actros 4-axle dumptruck with Nooteboom 4-axle drawbar trailer. This model has been made by NZG in a limited run of 100 pieces and was released in September 2004.

The printing on the model is great and the trailer features hydraulic ramps which slide across the rear
of the trailer like the real Nooteboom trailer.

This is a great model from NZG with plenty of detail. It goes great with the Liebherr A314 as a load.

 

Liebherr A314 Wheeled Excavator

The second model in the Joachim Alpers collection is the Liebherr A314 wheeled excavator from NZG. Only 100 of these models have been produced and were released in August 2004.

 

This is a popular model with the level of detail that has been added to the model. All the hydraulic hose details have been added and the model is finished in orange / grey with a white cab.

The Alpers company details are printed on the body, counterweight and stick along with the Liebherr markings.

 

Caterpillar 325C Tracked Excavator

The first model in the series is the Caterpillar 325C tracked excavator in 1:50th scale from NZG. Only 100 of these models were made and the model was released in 2003.

 

 This model is finished in an orange colour with black undercarriage and cab. The Alpers markings are printed on the boom and counterweight along with the Caterpillar markings. This is a really nice model to start the "Joachim Alpers" collection and has already sold out.
