New Models from THS-Modell

[Azonic]

Dont know if the mods could make a new section with "Construction News" or something, or just re-name this one and use it as that?

Anyway, i got very exited when i did see some news from the Dortmund show...

These are THS-Modell new models, 2 Volvos (FINALLY!, yes im from Sweden! )

Im very intrested in that loader, looks amazing!

Volvo L220G (I think)







Volvo EC480

I can't see the pics of the Volvo's :-(

Totally Off Topic: When I was younger my old man worked for Volvo trucks, and apparently I thought he made the biscuit: iced vovo's!

Cheers,

Wierd, i can see them.

[Claus]

You can see them because yo are logged into the home page where you down loaded the photos, for the rest of us, nothing.

Ok, sorry about that, lets try this...

Maybe it has been done, I would sure like to see a spreadsheet comparing some of the different pieces of equipment now available. Something that would include scale, weight, power system, basic price. I love looking at all of it but I am still too under informed to recognize an apple an oranges comparison when I see one.

Just dreaming...

Wow, those THS models look great. Looking forward to seeing more information and photos posted on THS's website.

[Azonic]

Yep, they look amazing!

I have found out the price tag, wont be cheap trust me......hold on, sit down....breath...


Volvo EC480DL = 6600 Euro

Volvo L250G = 7200 Euro

I better start saving up, that 250G really got stuck on my head!

22-24bar working preassure on the 250G, scale 1:14,5 , both will be out next year 2014.

Dont know yet Joe, i asked a guy on a Swedish forum that was at the show and he said the loader "was quite a bit to lift". Dont say much but thats all i got now.

Very nice!

Is it fully hydraulic to justify that price?

If you hear something let us know asap. They need to come up with something new at this point.. It appears a lot of newcomers are trying to get a slice of the high margin market but not really doing anything new.

[Azonic]

Thx for posting that Ari, it looks amazing, very quiet as well!

[apfubar]

Looks good.

It will be interesting to see one in the dirt... but even if we did today, this is a prototype and lots can change... Looking forward to seeing a production model in the dirt.

Cheers

Isnt there enough Cats around? I think its great to see other brands out like Volvo and Komatsu!

[ekim]

I agree.... I feel the more broad the market then the price may fall just a smidge..... Like the Volvo.....
