Short answer: Yes!

Long answer:

Just like any other model industry on the market, the crane model market is packed with people that love to look at, photograph and build their own crane models.  Without these great people, our website would not be here for you to enjoy.  Based on the information that we have from sales, model crane enthusiasts are located all over the world.  That tells us that model cranes are not just for those of us in the United States and it might have something to do with the fact that any time you need something large erected, or moved, a crane is involved.  The geographic location does not matter, a crane can move just about anything, in just about any location.

Model cranes are neat to look at, fun to make YouTube videos with and even more fun to build on your own.  With real life details (see image) and custom made parts that will last a lifetime, the model cranes that we sell are some of the best.  Just doing a quick, online search, we can see that model crane lovers are not just buying the Manitowoc 16000 Lattice-Boom Crawler Crane, putting it together at home and forgetting about it.

The crawler crane is just the beginning and there are even enthusiasts that have more than 100 models, all put together, in a room in their home that is dedicated to cranes.  If you are thinking about buying your first model crane, then you have come to the right place.  So many of our customers are happy to provide tips, tricks and images that will help you decide if model cranes are going to be your new hobby.

In most cases, becoming a crane enthusiast starts with being on location of a crane lifting a very heavy payload from one place to another.  You can be amazed, it is quite the engineering feat if you ask us.  From there you are traveling around to places near your home town and notice more cranes than you ever did before.  Taking photos, sharing them online and discussing cranes are all new things that you will find to be quite entertaining.  The industry is there and has been for many, many years.  Your new hobby is going to start right here.
