Model Details

The MB L322 Mobilkran in yellow/black livery by Lemke MINIS is a highly detailed 1:160 scale N gauge construction vehicle model representing one of the most versatile mobile crane configurations of the post-war European industrial era. Produced by Lemke Collection, this finely crafted miniature captures the rugged Mercedes-Benz L322 “Rundhauber” chassis fitted with a Fuchs F301 crane superstructure, a classic combination widely used across construction, infrastructure, and heavy industry sectors.

Designed for model railway enthusiasts, industrial diorama builders, and construction vehicle collectors, this model reflects the real-world engineering practice of mounting crane and excavator superstructures onto durable truck chassis platforms. The Mercedes-Benz L322 became one of the most widely used bases for such conversions due to its strength, reliability, and adaptability in demanding working environments.

The striking yellow/black industrial safety livery gives this version a bold construction-site appearance, making it a standout feature in any N gauge layout or heavy machinery display scene.

Historical Background

The Mercedes-Benz L322 was introduced in 1958 as a medium-duty truck designed for durability, versatility, and long operational life. Produced until 1984, it became one of the most successful commercial vehicles in European transport history.

Its robust ladder-frame chassis made it an ideal platform for specialist conversions, including mobile cranes. Many L322 vehicles were fitted with Fuchs F301 crane systems, creating versatile machines capable of lifting, loading, and excavation tasks on construction and industrial sites.

These mobile cranes played a key role in post-war infrastructure development, supporting road building, urban expansion, and large-scale engineering projects throughout Europe during a period of rapid economic growth.
