1:50th Scale Putzmeister M52 Concrete Pump

Presented here is the Putzmeister 5-axle M52 concrete pump on Mercedes chassis from Conrad. The Mercedes chassis features working steering of the front two axles with rubber tyres fitted to the red plastic wheel hubs.

The Mercedes cab has a replicated interior and the rear body houses the five section, Z-fold boom which can be fully extended and rotates by 360 degrees along with the twin pump cylinders and rear mounted hopper.

The front and rear stabilisers extend from the chassis and can be lowered by unscrewing the pads to provide a firm footing. This is the first version of the M52 and there have been a number of updates over the years, including custom printed versions with both Mercedes and MAN chassis configurations.
