Hi Beat,

This guy claims it can lift more than 10 kg. I've seen this crane several
times, but he huses to many non-LEGO components. The crane is also much to
heavy, it almost collapst for several times on events .... He think LEGO is
the strongest constrution material I guess ...
I can asure you: don't lift too much. The bricks will break once.
It's nice to know more about your Liebherr. It's a shame you can't show it
in Ochten next year, but I know your situation. I wouldn't go to far to show
my models. In '97 I got an invitation for an event in Hamburg. That's much
too far I think. But who knows, maybe I will meet you soon.
