Nathan-
Thanks for showing how crab steering works. I also like how you designed it,
but the fact that it doesn’t have a fixed steering wheel bothered me, so I
designed one which has. Also, I might impliment this in my realtime version of
my crane (that has yet to be built, btw). However, if anyone can tell me if a
Demag AC 500-1 SSL uses crab steering, I’d appreciate it.

Yes, it does. It is all computer controlled though.
Incidentally, Nathan’s design can be used with 2 fixed steering wheels:
- reverse the rear steering bar, so that tilting the “steering column” now operates crab steering mode
- remove the knob on the “steering column” (leaving the bevel gear)
- attach a steering wheel as you normally would, steering the front axles
- a second wheel can be connected to tilt the “steering column” for crab steering if you like

| Ross- Looking at Nathan's crab design, I realized that the center steering mechanism resembles a differential. Realizing this I came up with a sketch (since that's all I'm able to do until I move into a house and open my legos) using a differential (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
