This excavator is completely selfbuild, and is, as far as i know the most powerfull and technically advanced excavator in the 1:14 scale.

It has full hydraulics, even the tracks and the slewing, and the pump has an servo controlled backplate, which makes this a model with load sensing.

It weighs about 60 kg and works on 60 bar pressure. It has a demolition boom, an can be fitted with an long boom. It also has a hydraulic hammer, able to break trough two inch thick concrete. This is an terrible beast of a machine.



Here a movie from a German forum with the hydraulic hammer. The pumpnoise is from the other excavator, this machine makes practically no noise, well except when it's hammering of course.

Here a detail of the double pump and oilcooler. It has two pumps to maintain enough driving speed with the hydraulic motors.

Here a setup from some German contenders, with a complete working installation.

The last model in this photoshoot is a post war Mack, used by the Van Gend en Loos firm, to drive to the Chech republik and back. This is a detailed model of the truck, with real canvas liner on the top.
