Hi,
As soon as I saw these big wheels, I knew that there has to be a way to use them
as part of a roller bearing to support a big crane... So here it is (the bearing
only, the crane will take a bit more time):
The wheels were too small to use by themselves, so I added the three stud long
lift arms on one side to “prop up” the wheels... Obviously, on an actual crane a
somewhat more powerful motor will be needed to drive the rotation...
Greetings,
David

That's one of the most intriguing designs I've seen lately. As soon as I
get my Hailfire droid wheels, I'm going to make a coal dump for my train
yard. It would also be good for a train turntable.
