Demag 1:50 models – the AC series in collector's scale

Demag builds all-terrain cranes, and exclusively so: from the compact AC 25 to the four-axle AC 100-4L, the series covers exactly the segment where a crane can still drive to the construction site itself. We have nine models in stock, all in 1:50 scale and all from Conrad.

Why there are three different names on the boxes

Demag Mobile Cranes was acquired by Terex and subsequently operated as Terex-Demag; later, the brand switched to Tadano. Conrad printed each of these phases – which is why you will find the same crane family on the packaging as "DEMAG", "TEREX Demag", or "TEREX-DEMAG" depending on the model's year of manufacture. They are therefore listed together on this page in the shop, regardless of the print on the box.

The Terex AT 20-3 and the Terex RT 90 do not belong to this group – these are Terex's own series, not Demag machines. They can be found under mobile cranes.

Reading the model designation

AC stands for All-Terrain Crane. The number following it indicates the load capacity class in tons, and the digit after the hyphen indicates the number of axles. An AC 100-4 is therefore a 100-tonner on four axles. The L in the AC 100-4L signifies the longer main boom – both versions are listed here side by side, otherwise identical in construction.

What you will find here

City cranes: the AC 25 in the SCHOLPP livery, the AC 40-1 for BAUTRANS, and the AC 40 City twice – neutral and in the colors of EUROVIA. City cranes have a short wheelbase and fit between existing buildings.

Mid-range: the AC 55-3 in the MAMMOET livery.

100-tonners: the AC 100-4 for BRUNS and the AC 100-4L in three versions – for Karl Altendorf, MERKEL, and WIESBAUER. Four models of the same series for four crane companies: If you collect for a specific company, you will find the number here, not the type.

The item number is the key

Conrad lists each livery under its own number after the slash. The AC 100-4L is available as 2107/03, 2107/06, and 2107/08, the AC 40 City as 2093/34 and 2093/37. The type tells you which crane you are getting. The number tells you which company is printed on it.

What to look for in a telescopic crane

The boom: It must be possible to extend all segments and have them stay in position. A telescope that retracts on its own is the most common annoyance.

The outriggers: Extendable beams with pads that actually support the model with the boom extended. Factor the outrigger footprint into your display space.

The cable routing: Real cable over real pulleys, not painted on.
