Pluto_MkII Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Hi, after I discovered the Hyster 32-12, which TheItalianBrick is currently building, I thought I had to modify the Heavy Duty Forklift, which was originally created by Dalafik. The main objective for the adjustable fork rake was to use only parts from Set 42009, so everyone who build the "Heavy Duty Forklift" would have automatically the parts he would need for this modifikation. Another objective was to create it so simple, that it could easily replace the original fork rake made by Dalafik. Two mini linear actuators are used to adjust the fork rake. Here are some pictures for you: More pictures are in the album: Adjustable fork rake for MOC-2298: Heavy Duty Forklift At the moment I try to create building instructions with MLCAD. Quote
Dalafik Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Hi, Pluto! I'm glad to see that my model has interested you. I considered doing something similar with fork, but discarded this option, partly because it would make the mast heavier, partly because 5x11 panel fitted in so nicely. By the way, you should try LDCad, it brings easiness of LDD into LDraw world (just switch camera to spin mode instead of 3D). Quote
Pluto_MkII Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Thank you for the info, maybe I'll try it next time. Yes, your solution is great and simple, I like it. But it needs a small beam on the top to lift more than 500 g, otherwise, it'll fall apart. With this additional part you are able to lift around 1000 g. At the moment I am optimizing the building instructions. The model is completed and rendered. Quote
Pluto_MkII Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 The building instruction for the adjustable fork rake is completed, you can download it from here or you click on the link in my signature. Quote
