mortil Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Im working on a STS Crane. Ive got it stable so it aint wobbly as hell . (my gf thoght it was good enough to hang our laundry on it.. WTF!) Working out the driving of the carridge for the boom right now. The Cable spools is down by the legs on the real deal. but i will put them up at the end/back of the boom to make sure stoff dont screw up. I need to order more liftarms and panels to get everything in the colors i want and not 15 different. (this is being made now and then) oh yes. it also have wheels and driving for the whole thing at the base inside the leg structure. Think its about 1.5m tall and 1.8m long Quote
mortil Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Some progress with the functions on the crane. Video of the cradle moving Video 1 Sorry for me talking Swedish. But it shows some of the machinery and technics around the crane.Video 2 Trying it with my half finished Mack Edited March 16, 2019 by mortil Quote
paul_delahaye Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 from the first picture, you don't get a true understanding of the sheer scale of this crane. I can't wait to see you build the ship it's loading! The mechanism works smoothly. Quote
Hefe Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Will the outrigger to front be an foldable/lift type or z typ as older versions? By the way most maker of this gantrys using the pulley and machinery part at aft of outrigger. A Container vessel in same scale would be really great (in every way of meaning) Quote
mortil Posted March 31, 2019 Author Posted March 31, 2019 So. this weekend i was at an exhibition and took the crane with me (just to see how hard it was to tear down and build up) all worked great and it worked better then i thought. some pictures. And yes. a video of it working. (will remove the IR and implement Sbrick instead) Video Quote
mortil Posted March 31, 2019 Author Posted March 31, 2019 Im not Building a Container vessel as this will be one part of a Communitybuild. A friend is building a part of a container vessel (he calculated that it would need to be 5.8m long to have the same proportions as the crane . and that is just a NO. :P So he will build a part of the ship :) Quote
Wolf_Zipp Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Very impressive crane ! In my near we have such cranes for Containers at the river . River ships are not so large . There are also cranes at the railroad to load trucks with containers Quote
