1/35 Hand operated port crane

Manually operated harbour cranes are an integral part of the history of ports and industrial zones. The simple but robust design allowed heavy loads to be lifted and moved between ships, rail cars and warehouses using cranks and gears. These cranes were commonly used not only in seaports, but also on river quays and in industrial plants for material handling.

Thanks to their versatility and reliability, similar machines appeared from the 19th century onwards and remained in use long after the Second World War, when they were gradually replaced by motorised and electric technology. For modellers, such an element offers the opportunity to create an attractive backdrop not only for military dioramas, but also for civilian and industrial scenes.

Plus Model's 1/35th scale kit captures the detailed design of this crane, which can enrich dioramas from different historical periods. The model is suitable as a stand-alone item or as an addition to vehicles, ships or railway equipment.

The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
