CAT 24H Grader as 3D large model
Graders are one of the oldest machines in earthworks. The first grader was built by Champion in 1876. This was pulled for a long time with horses and later caterpillar tractors. In 1921 the American Rippel Corp. developed the first motor grader. The first motor grader in Europe came from the Augsburg Eisenwerk Gebrüder Frisch in 1936.
Typical graders have three axes. Small, two-axis graders are less common. The rear-mounted engine and the driver's cab are usually located above the driven tandem rear axle. In order to achieve the longest possible wheelbase and therefore great smoothness on uneven terrain, the steerable front axle is arranged on a long, high-level front frame. In the middle of the vehicle there is a wide plate, the so-called share, between the axles and under the frame bars. With most graders, the blade can be rotated 360 °, tilted (cutting angle adjustment), moved laterally and adjusted by approx. 90 ° on both sides, so that inclined surfaces can also be worked on. Many graders are also equipped with a front plate for pushing bulk goods and help for other earth movements. Likewise, many graders have rear rippers to loosen the soil.
A typical area of application for graders is road and path construction, where it is used to level the substructure of asphalt roads or the top layer of unpaved roads and paths. It can also be used on inclined planes and as a slope plane. Graders are also used for other earth movements on larger areas, e.g. B. used in sports field construction. Graders can also be used to clear snow. Some manufacturers offer special graders for underground construction.
A distinction is made between graders (as is often the case with construction machines) according to the operating weight. Other features include engine power and blade width in feet. However, the weight is decisive. The other factors are matched to the operating weight.
The H24 is the largest motor grader in Caterpillar's range and has the power to work efficiently on wide transportation routes. With a power of 535 HP and a share body with a width of 24 ', this grader ensures that the application is productive, safe and comfortable.
In our model, which consists of 327 parts, in addition to the cutting angle adjustment of the share (cutting edge), the angle of attack and the height are adjustable. In addition, the front axle is steerable and, as with the original, suspended.
The model makes a great impression in every collection and is also not too difficult to assemble and suitable for beginners.
Please note that this kit is not a toy and can only be used to a limited extent. Please keep the items away from small children under 6 years old. It involves breaking off small parts and being swallowed. We declare the model as a puzzle or decoration
Item Description:
Material: Layered construction of 4mm wood
Dimensions approx. ca. 680 x 200 x 210 mm
Weight approx: 2,5 kg
Content: 1 x lasered kit with all parts / assembly instructions
Supplied as a lasered kit. This must be assambled by yourself.
No tools needed. The parts must be glued.
The kit is made of wood and has been lasered. This will cause the edges to look burnt and possibly leave traces of soot and smoke on the wood. These can be easily removed with fine sandpaper.
All components are laser cut so that there is a "beautiful" front and a marked, production-related "bad" back. Make sure that the good side always points to the visible side.
These soot and smoke marks as well as the fact that wood is a natural product, which is dimensionally influenced by basic physical laws such as temperature and humidity, there are certain limitations in the nature of the products, which must be consciously accepted.
We offer the most careful choice of material and the most modern production methods, nevertheless one has to accept with wood the peculiarities and unimpeachable characteristics, which are to be observed again and again in the practice - therefore these can not be claimed by the buyer as a material defect.
