Auhagen 43683 Coal merchant’s loader T170

Kit. The self-propelled T170 loader was manufactured in Weimar from the mid-1950s and was used in agriculture, on construction sites and in industry. Under its own power, it could reach a not-particularly speedy 3.5 km/h, but could be towed at up to 20 km/h. The 6.3-m-long boom consisting of two tubes was raised and lowered by cables. With a 10 hp engine - later upgraded to 13 hp - it could lift up to 0.8 t. Our intricate kit is an exact replica of the real-life vehicle. The superstructure can be rotated through 360° and the tilting boom can be fitted with either a hook or a clamshell bucket. The coal merchant’s logo is printed on the cab door. Here, it is being used to transfer solid fuels from the wagon to the stockpile and from there to the delivery vehicle, such as the Multicar 25, Product No. 43 682. Highly detailed model 71 21 33 mm
