1820 E - overhead crane

 

Mainly the same as the 1800 E. Now beige incl. a red remote control box and red motor covers. In order to achieve enough traction the wheel underneath the drive box is rubber-ring covered. This Version consists of the crane with funnel, a loading ramp, 1 tipper, a shovel and a bag of kibbled cork. Novelty 1964.

All paper-pictures of the 1820 Giant show an additional bunker underneath the funnel. This bunker was NEVER built – to enable another track to load wagons from above. Makes more sense and thus there are 4 positions to adapt track to the base. The “paper-bunker” decreased to an open half-sized storage place - as also seen on the label.

All known complete 1820ies were delivered with the last version tipper where the dump body was kept to the chassis by a small additional tin plate. So this tipper version was available as of 1964!!!

Seize: 525 x 405 x 190 mm
