I was pretty fortunate to get these last week. I usually only collect the bigger cranes but this 1050 is fantastic and I highly recommend them to anyone who hasn't seen one yet in person, and of course the 1750 is outstanding.

Thanks Paul, I am looking at getting the LTM 1500 luffing jib in red since I have the Mammoet 1750, Neeb 1500 and now this Colonia 1750. I don't know which one it will match best but I am sure it will be close to all 3.

I just grabbed the red ltm 1500 luffing jib and put it on the Colonia 1750, almost perfect color match. This is probably one of the nicest jibs I have ever had, great details and lots of different combinations. Rigging this small setup did however take a lot longer than I wanted. Needed to undo the luffing sheaves that came reeved from WSI because it is too difficult to move, and after some swearing I find out my luffing bridle is not the right length. Too bad, it's now staying that way for a while.

Beautiful set-up and that's fantastic that the LTM 1500 jibs fit onto the LTM 1750s. Thanks so much for sharing.
