 | | Large Technic crane —Fredrik Glöckner
|
| | | It is probably common for Technic fans to make a large crane. Here's my version, in a rather bad colour sheme. I have taken a lot of inspiration from Leo Dorst. There's more descriptive text on the URL below. And even an image of myself taken by my (...) (26 years ago, 27-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

It can lift an orange when the car is in the middle of the boom, but I suppose that's approximately the maximum. Anyway, it wasn't designed to lift (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

| | | | | Nice work Fredrik. I am curious about the base, can you pick up a load at full extension of the tractor. Looks like it would tip over. The mechanics really are neat. I like the diagrams. Wouldn't it be nice to have all the right color parts? -- Bob (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

| | | | | | (...) You are quite correct. The crane balances well without a load, using four large wheels and two motors as counterweights. But loaded, and with the load fully extended, the balance tips over. At full extension, it can probably not lift much at (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.build)

Is there a way you could let hte counter weight on the beam move in and out either same as the car/grab. or maybe even (...) (26 years ago, 2-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

There are several brands of cranes that do exactly this, they move counterweights in and out in syncronization with (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

The new version will be a little bit bigger and have an inline 6 piston engine rather than 4. Otherwise it will basically have the (...) (26 years ago, 7-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)
