Bauma 2007 - Page 2
The Caterpillar shop had five new models from Norscot. The 14M grader and 657G scraper announced at the toy fair earlier in the year were accompanied by the new M316D wheeled excavator, the D6K dozer and the 1:87th scale M318D.
The Terex stand was impressive with the RH340 backhoe machine being demonstrated. This year, there was no shop so no models were available to buy. The new Terex RH340 Backhoe model is now available from model dealers and looks fantastic. There are a number of other models to look forward to from the Terex group including the Fuchs MHL454 handler with wood grapple from NZG, two new Scheaff models later in 2007 and at least five new Terex construction models consisting of tracked and wheeled excavators, a backhoe loader, articulated dumper and wheel loader.

The new Sennebogen HD683 tracked telescopic crane was displayed on the stand and should be available by July. There were three versions displayed with the standard yellow/grey, a blue/grey version which matched the real machine outside and a brown coloured version. Also displayed was the new 305C telescopic handler finished in the distinctive sennebogen green. Both models are 1:50th and are manufactured by ROS. |

Also on display on the Sennebogen stand was the 1:50th scale 5500 Star Lifter tracked crane from Conrad in the Franz Bracht company livery. It appears that a limited run of the models have been made by Conrad.
|
The new Faun Tadano ATF160 model was available from the stand. The model looks good and is another fine release from Conrad.
|
The Hyundai shop had the new 1:50th scale model of the new 80ton Hyundai R800LCF-7A tracked hydraulic excavator made by MICA World in China. The model features opening engine compartment and linked plastic tracks.

The Mammoet stand displayed several new models. The most interesting is the prototype of the new Spierings SK599 AT5 mobile tower crane which should be available by the end of July. The model is being manufactured by TWH for WSI. The standard Speirings version is also available in July and is finished in the spierings corporate colours. |

Zoomlion had a 1:50th scale model of their THB125-44 4-axle concrete pump on display on their stand. The model is finely detailed with a price of 99 Euro for those lucky enough to be able to buy one.

The Hofmann booth had a 1:50th scale model of their H33-3 Universal line marking machine from NZG. The model features working steering and spray heads that slide side to side.

One very small model is the new Wacker WL25 wheel loader model in 1:50th scale from Kaster. The model was being given away to people who filled in a card. There are rumours that a red version will also appear later this year.

Sany had two models on display on their stand. The Sany 210C tracked excavator is scaled at 1:35th while the THB56 5-axle concrete pump looks to be 1:35th but I cannot confirm this.
There were two new models on the Yanmar Amman stand. First up is the Ammann AV110X tandem drum roller in 1:50th scale from Ros. The second model is a 1:35th scale Yanmar SV15 mini tracked excavator from Brami.
The Wiedermann & Reichhardt booth had two 1:50th scale models of their Super 2000 sewer cleaning vehicle on display. Both are exclusive to the company and only available to purchase directly from them via their website www.wiedemann-reichhardt.de
The Putzmeister stand had the new M46 4-axle concrete pump model for sale.
