Ok, I haven't seen anybody doing this before, so I thought I'd be the first out. Well, several people before has done it, but I never have seen a crane with jibb on a truckchassis yet. So here it is, 70% completed, a MAN TG35.410A 8x2/4 with a 100 (...) (20 years ago, 13-Nov-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The 45982 tire (the big ones on the Backhoe) seems to be the correct shape, and about same size as the 8880 tires. Get them and you don't need the caterpillar tracks. BTW, that Bimba piston should allow us to make a fully pneumatic crane (...) (20 years ago, 12-Nov-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi Jennifer. Yes, they are caterpillar tracks. The 8880 tires were not the correct shape to be telehandler tires, and wrapping the tracks around them was the only way to make them taller and narrower. I think real ones are 4-5ft in diameter. I (...) (20 years ago, 9-Nov-04, to lugnet.technic)

New pics of the telehandler are available. Are they satisfactory? The Bimba piston fits well, except there is so much weight while under load that the crab steering does not work very well. Eventually the boom will need more height. The tractor (...) (20 years ago, 6-Nov-04, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Anders, It's a very nice model. It's very life like because you've added lots of details. And the opening doors are a nice detail as well. Now you can have a good look into the driver's cab.
