Model Overview

1:20 Lonking CDM312 Skid Steer Loader Model

A compact OEM display model developed to reproduce the distinctive structure and working character of the original Lonking skid steer loader.

This skid steer loader scale model was engineered around the recognisable shape of the Lonking CDM312, including its compact body, protective cab, lifting structure, bucket assembly, deep-tread tyres and high-contrast exterior graphics.

The project focused on more than appearance. The cab can tilt upward, the main lift arms can rise and hold their position, the bucket can articulate, and the wheels can rotate. These working features make the model suitable for brand presentations, dealer displays and equipment demonstrations where a static miniature would not communicate enough.

As a custom construction equipment scale model, it can support OEM marketing, corporate gifting, trade-show displays and licensing programmes. The compact format is easy to handle and display while retaining the visual impact expected from a premium diecast construction model.

Project Advantages

Recognisable CDM312 Styling Body proportions, printed graphics and colour separation follow the original machine design.
Multiple Working Functions The moving cab, lift arms, bucket and wheels create a more engaging display experience.
Compact but Substantial A 175 mm body length and 0.7 kg net weight provide a strong physical presence.
Suitable for OEM Production The structure was designed for repeatable tooling, assembly, inspection and batch manufacturing.

4.1

Front and Rear Wheel Movement

All four wheels can rotate for smooth manual movement and realistic positioning.

4.2

Cab Tilts Upward About 90°

The operator cab opens upward to reveal more of the model’s internal structure.

4.3

Lift Arms Rise About 150°

The main arms can be raised and held in position for elevated display poses.

4.4

Bucket Opens About 120°

The bucket angle can be adjusted and positioned to recreate loading and dumping actions.

Engineering Highlights

Engineering Behind the Model

The functional system, compact structure and detailed exterior were developed together so that movement does not compromise the appearance of this premium skid steer loader scale model.

Premium Model Details

Refined Details that Strengthen Brand Recognition

Carefully controlled graphics, textures and component finishes help the miniature retain the identity of the real Lonking machine at a much smaller scale.

Pad Printing and Graphics

Brand marks, model identification and warning graphics are positioned to preserve the visual identity of the original loader.

Tyre and Wheel Details

Deep tread patterns, black tyre surfaces and red rims create strong contrast and realistic industrial character.

Cab and Window Details

Clear window parts, black framing, protective grids and visible interior elements add depth to the compact cab.

Mechanical Linkages

Arm pivots, hydraulic-style components and bucket joints are arranged to support controlled movement.

Surface Finishing

Gloss, colour separation and surface texture give the custom diecast model a clean professional presentation.

Rear Body Treatment

The rear grille, lamps and contrasting panels maintain detail continuity beyond the primary viewing side.

Size Comparison

Compact Dimensions with Strong Display Value

The model is compact enough for desks, display cabinets and dealer counters while remaining large enough to show its working structure and equipment details.

Measuring 175 × 90 × 105 mm and weighing approximately 0.7 kg, the model has a substantial feel without requiring a large display area. It is well suited to corporate showrooms, equipment exhibitions, dealer presentations, product launches and branded display collections.
OEM Development Process

From Equipment Data to Repeatable Production

Each OEM construction vehicle model moves through a controlled development sequence before entering batch production.

01 Stage 01

3D Data and Prototype

The client’s real-machine 3D data is scaled, simplified and adjusted for model production. A physical prototype is produced so that proportions, component separation, functions and visible details can be reviewed before tooling begins.

02 Stage 02

Tooling and Metal Sample

Production tooling is manufactured with CNC machining, engraving and related mould-making processes. A metal sample is assembled and finished to represent the expected appearance, function and quality of the final mass-produced model.

03 Stage 03

Production, QC and Delivery

Batch manufacturing covers die-casting, injection moulding, painting, pad printing, assembly, function testing, visual inspection, packaging and shipment. Quality checks are built into each production stage.

Mass Production Capability

Controlled Production for OEM Programmes

The project structure supports repeatable assembly, batch inspection and consistent presentation across larger orders for brand, dealer and promotional use.

Quality Control throughout Production

Scale Artisan operates five production lines with an annual capacity of more than one million models. For an OEM skid steer loader model, component condition, painted surfaces, printed graphics, moving functions and final packaging are checked at defined production stages.

01

Component Inspection

Cast and moulded parts are checked for visible defects, damage and assembly issues.

02

Paint and Printing Control

Colour, gloss, logo position and printed graphic clarity are compared with approved samples.

03

Function and Appearance Testing

Wheels, cab, lift arms and bucket movement are tested together with the overall appearance.

04

Final Packaging

Completed models are cleaned, protected and packed according to the approved packaging plan.

Business Applications

More than a Model: A Brand Communication Tool

A custom loader model gives equipment manufacturers a practical way to present product identity, demonstrate movement and keep their machines visible beyond the job site.

01

Dealer Showrooms

An OEM model for dealer showrooms allows sales teams to present equipment in a compact and accessible format.

02

Trade Shows

A custom scale model for trade shows supports product discussions when the full-size machine cannot be displayed.

03

Product Launches

Functional models can help introduce a new machine, colour scheme or equipment series to distributors and media.

04

Corporate Gifts

A branded construction vehicle miniature can be used for key clients, dealer awards and company anniversaries.

05

Marketing Campaigns

Product photography, video content and campaign displays gain a recognisable physical representation of the machine.

06

Museum and Corporate Displays

The model can document an equipment platform, product generation or engineering milestone within a permanent collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom Skid Steer Loader Model FAQ

What information is needed to develop a custom loader model?
The most useful starting materials are the real machine’s 3D data, overall dimensions, clear reference photos, colour and logo files, required functions, preferred scale, packaging requirements and target order quantity.
Can the model include opening and moving functions?
Yes. Functions can be evaluated according to the real machine structure, target scale and available internal space. This project includes rotating wheels, a tilting cab, movable lift arms and an adjustable bucket.
Can other construction equipment models be developed in the same series?
Yes. We can review loaders, excavators, cranes, road machinery, trucks and other industrial equipment as part of a coordinated OEM model programme, subject to the available project data and production requirements.
Can colours, logos and packaging be customized?
Yes. Exterior colours, printed graphics, model identification and packaging can be developed around the brand guidelines and intended application. Packaging options can be discussed for dealer display, corporate gifting, retail presentation or protected shipment.
