Hi to all! Some time ago, I published a link to a forklift-like steering, which can steer up to about 90 degrees. Here is what I managed to build around it: pre-moderation: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stepro/forklift-3/1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stepro/forklift-3/2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stepro/forklift-3/3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stepro/forklift-3/4.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stepro/forklift-3/5.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stepro/forklift-3/6.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stepro/forklift-3/7.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stepro/forklift-3/8.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/stepro/forklift-3/9.jpg post moderation: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=42414 Features: - action-figures scale (I hope) - Front wheel drive - 4 section (includinc fork) mast (I'm quite proud of it ;-) ) - it actually lifts quite a lot, that means about 300 grams Defects: - the rear steering sometimes jams because of the micromotor (or maybe the battery are low, I have to check ;-P) - putting the weight bricks on the back is not sufficient to make it steer "90 degrees" when it's loading something - it sleeps beyond a certain steering angle :-( - with the mast retracted, it's still to high to be "real" - I'm not a "model team" one, so plating is far from good. But I hope some of my italian fellows come in help (Andrea? Fabio? Ci siete?)! Well, that's all - hope you enjoy it as much as me when building it! ciao steP

(...) This is probably the best fork lift I've seen made in LEGO. It sure put's LEGOs own version to shame! I like how you managed to fit every function in there, it's not that much room. You caught the looks of Lindé trucks well too! And the (...) (21 years ago, 8-May-03, to lugnet.technic)
