Hardtop Shuttle Crane for the Mercedes Benz R129 SL70 SL73 AMG Roof

Description

DMC Mercedes-Benz AMG Hardtop Shuttle – R129 SL70 / SL600

Authentic 1990s Hardtop Crane, Recreated in Metal

The legendary Mercedes-Benz R129 was designed to be enjoyed both as a roadster and as a refined coupé. To make switching between soft top and hardtop effortless in the workshop, Mercedes and AMG used a dedicated Hardtop Shuttle – a metal crane system that safely lifted and positioned the removable roof.

DMC now brings this piece of workshop history back to life with a Mercedes-Benz AMG Hardware Shuttle, recreated from original 1990s specification sheets. Built in metal and engineered to period-correct dimensions, it is the perfect tool – and display piece – for SL 70 AMG, SL 600, and other R129 models.
