Congratulations on your new machine David. :cool:

The cab... pinch together with fingers & add a drop of crazy glue.

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

Thanks Joe, I still remember when you welcomed me to the site couple years ago, and you were telling me about the German machines, well you are right, they are quality built... I still don't want to paint them though lol...

The Cab cannot be pinched together because it is already glued, preventing it from being squeezed, and glued.

Hi David, congratulations on your new machine. I think you paid too much for the shipping services. I remember my ScaleART was delivered to my office by UPS 2 months ago for only 600 euro plus $59.87 duty & taxes that I have to pay here in CA. My package is about the size as yours or a bit bigger 47 x 21 x 22 and I have to bring the mini van to drive it home :D

What's in the scaleart box

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

Hello Shawn,

The machine with battery and standard bucket is 49.5 lbs

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

It wouldn't surprise me if I did pay to much... I am about 800 miles from the Chicago Airport, maybe that's why it was more than yours. Mine was delivered Fed ex from the Airport, and they wanted to make sure it was strapped to a pallet so it couldn't get flipped upside down, that probably cost more.

David

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

Thank you sir! :)
Also the reason why you paid more in shipping was due to the weight of the excavator and the fact that it was on a pallet.
How much more quiet is it from your 4200xl?

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

It's a ScaleART Arocs Palfinger crane truck :)
The weird thing is UPS will collect the funds of duty & taxes at the time of delivery and only accept the cashier check. As FedEx, they will bill you later which is nicer :)

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

theBigo,
Whats the measurement from center point of the swing to the maximum ground reach when the bucket is fully extended out (to the bucket teeth)?
thanks

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

wow that is HUGE! pricing not too bad either!

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

31 inches

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

Thanks.

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

If I was gonna buy the same set up without any attachments it would cost me 15 thousand pounds considering im in the UK

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

I have a ScaleArt shipment coming into the US later this year. Can you elaborate on the duty and taxes? There should not be any duty (the invoice shows: "Tax free supply according to Section 4 Abs. 1a USTG") - toys do not have duty in the US and other countries.
As far as sales tax, you're not supposed to pay sales tax for goods coming in from outside the US.

Are you referring to customs brokerage fees, not tax or duty?

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

i'll join the necro posting.. lol

i spec'ed a 960 out on premacon's site... 15 grand before shipping.... :eek:

thanks, but no thanks... lol

Re: Premacon in Da House...
 

You won't pay the 19%VAT (value added tax) that ppl in Europe do, but there might be state and/or federal tax, plus if UPS or FedEx get's their hands on it, they have their own bullshyt fees they like to tack on... you'll find out for sure when it arrives. ;)
