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)

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,

[Azonic]

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.

[Azonic]

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

[Rvjimd]

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...

[Azonic]

I think i found one more pic of the new Volvo excavator.

[Madda]

Now that thing is a beauty!

[Espeefan]

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.

[Lil Giants]

What is the weight of each piece?

[Azonic]

What is the weight of each piece?

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.

[cdm]

Very nice!

Is it fully hydraulic to justify that price?

[Azonic]

Very nice!

Is it fully hydraulic to justify that price?

I dont think so, but i dont have all the information about these models as of yet.

[Hemi1966]

Here's a video of the Volvo L250G, thanks to modelkran1:)

It sure look beautiful :):)

[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
AP

[cdm]

I dont think so, but i dont have all the information about these models as of yet.

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]

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

[Espeefan]

Oh wow, that Volvo 250G is beautiful! How come is costs more then the excavator? One would think that an excavator would be far more complex, thus more money. Let's see, at 7,200 Euro, it would cost us Americans $9,416, at the current conversion rate, which is a little on the low side right now. Hmmm, guess it's only going to be a dream for now! That won't stop me from drooling over it!

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

I have to agree. I love Caterpillar machines, but it sure is nice to see something totally different. The Volvo's are good looking machines too. We have them in North America, and likewise with Komatsu. It's a model that has worldwide appeal.

[Stefan]

Volvo had the THS´s models on display in their store at the Bauma exhibition last week.

They also displayed the A40F :eek::eek: I spoke to Mr. Seipt (the "S" in "THS") at the Dortmund model show the week before, and as far as I remember the A40D is planned for 2015 (or was it 2014:o? In any case, it sounded like an awful long time). The EC480DL was said to weigh in at 15 kg.

[Espeefan]

I want one of each! Wow, those are so sharp, but if I could only have one, I'd take the wheel loader!

[RCP57]

Well it's official... I'm never scratch building anymore Volvo's. No way to compete with the looks of those pieces. I am surprised that the excavator is only 33 pounds though.

[elliot330]

Stefan, that is some truly stunning pictures - well done and thanks for putting them on here.

I have some updated delivery dates from Hendrik.

Excavator - December 2013
Wheel Loader - June 2014
Dumper - End of 2014

So yes a long way off... but at least they are coming..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BpNzCTJ_zc

[Claus]

Me likey! Those models appear to have better dertails than any construction equipment on the market yet to date.

[titandigs]

I had a drive of these machines at Dortmund and they seem to be more powerful than the others available but they are running more preasure. The dumper was also a nice model and yes the price was 7200 euros

[Northwoods Timber toter]

Does anyone have a web-site/link to the Manufacturer? I'm interested if they are taking pre-orders. I've really set my eye on that loader. It's like a piece of functional art! Now I just have to convince my better half ><

[Espeefan]

http://www.truckmodelle-hs.de/engl_start_21.html

[MoRockN]

OMG that A40D is amazing looking. I kept toying with the Idea of ordering a
B35 but thank god I didn't. I have something big coming so the timing might work out just right to order this beast when it's out for sale.

[Northwoods Timber toter]

Thanks!, Espeefan for posting the link, now I can drool even more : ) Hope I don't short out my computer!

[Rimrock]

Looks like very high end models:) The weight of 15 kgs (33 lbs) is the scale correct weight of the Volvo 480 in 1:14.5 ( 48.000 kg / 14.5*14.5*14.5)

[elliot330]

Well after a very long wait and even longer drive from England to THS ( 1600 mile round trip ) I am now the proud owner of the New Volvo excavator.

Would like to say a very special thanks to the guys for working late into the evening and for finishing the machine off so I could collect before Christmas.

[thercfreak2012]

Wow I'm so impressed that you got the digger with the controller which looks like the 1.1scale digger controls how amazing well worth 8000 euros

[Espeefan]

Incredible! The excavator is so life like. Even the Volvo name is cast into the buckets. This has to be the most realistic looking machine out there right now. I even noticed they had a scale (dummy) valve block cast and installed the proper place. That's detail!

[thercfreak2012]

I know mate it's amazing he has a 20 channel transmitter with it

I know the detail is amazing, also a lot has been added since I saw the first prototype. Another even small detail is the volvo logo on the bucket teeth!

[thercfreak2012]

Wow what transmitter did u get with it

[MoRockN]

Wow congratulations Elliot !! I saw your videos but didn't connect the dots. Very cool and solid machine for sure. Are the other models available for sale yet? Mainly the ADT.

[elliot330]

Wow what transmitter did u get with it

I think you answered your own question an hour and a half before you asked the question?

Classic reply!! :D

[elliot330]

Wow congratulations Elliot !! I saw your videos but didn't connect the dots. Very cool and solid machine for sure. Are the other models available for sale yet? Mainly the ADT.

Thank you :-) I was a little late posting pictures!

Very happy with it... the wheel loader is available to order, should get mine in June all being well. The ADT won't be out until early 2015, I believe you can put you name down now. Be quick as the waiting list will only grow !

[thercfreak2012]

Ok I'm sorry

[elliot330]

Ok I'm sorry

Jake,

No need to be sorry, i know you are excited and easily excitable, we all are. But remember what you have asked and said before you post the same question.

Now, back on topic. :-)

Yes it came with a Brixl, I have it on loan to try it out.

Cheers
Elliot

[thercfreak2012]

Ok I think u should buy the 20 channel transmitter u have on loan it's just a beast

[thercfreak2012]

And elliot u should of posted some unpacking pics of it

[apfubar]

Interested to hear Elliot goes with the Brixl... Not to mention the excavator... Both are very nice!

[thercfreak2012]

Elliot didn't go with the blue 20 channel transmitter he is just loaning it till he buys his own one.

[dabears]

WOW that looks amazing!!! Very realistic looking!!! Your one lucky person to own that!!

[ekim]

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

Michael (ekim)

[liftmys10]

Holy smokes that is some incredible detail. Especially the "simple" bucket!!! Thanks for sharing the pictures. I can only dream of owning one��

[Azonic]

Wow, Thx for the nice pics Elliott, those pics really shows how scale these machines are, nice also to see pics from the shop!

I have to collect my 250 down there as well, that would be nice!

[thetractorfan]

All the machines look beautiful. The paint looks amazing, you can't really tell these apart from the real things. If I had to choose one, I would pick the excavator. The wheel loader and articulated dump truck and Volvo excavator go well together.

[RobotArms24]

Wow, over 7,000 euros, and up to 6 Month delivery time! They sure look good though.

[thetractorfan]

does the loader and dump truck have transmissions to satisfy the price?
