I have finally gotten around to posting the completion photos of my Liebherr
LR-11200 Crawler Crane.
Here is the Link:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=122183
The overall height is 20 feet. The previous height was 18 feet, and I added
the extra 2 feet to the luffing jib. The crane was surprisingly sturdy,
even with a 5-10 mph wind blowing.
I am currently building another model of a Liebherr LR-1750, and am planning
a dual crane lift of over 100 lbs. I will post those pictures whenever that
day comes.

Hi Alvin,
That is really an amazing peace of engineering. Congratulation to your great
job of finishing a 20 feet high crawler crane!
A little question, what did you use as quy pins? some new LEGO piece I dont
know? Or did you make them yourself from some other material?
Best regards from Denmark,

Thanks Anderes,
The quy pins are made of aluminum. I found (as you did) that there isnt much
lego that you can use in this situation that looks right and is strong enough.
I have access to a automated router table at my work, so I designed and cut
these pieces out of .125 aluminum sheets and bored the holes in each end to
accept a technic pin with friction or a technic axle with tight tolerances.
This method worked perfectly.
Hope that this doesnt offend any of the purists out there.
--Alvin
