This, to me, is right up there with the very best Lego tow trucks ever made, along with Sariel's and Andrea Grazi's.

Thanks

First test of the hooklift with 1500g (container and payload)

 

[efferman]

now iam more or less satisfied

It works very smooth. (If I didn't miss something) I wonder if hook lift mechanics can be done with one L-motor?

it is possible to make a gearbox which switches between the functions. They dont have to work at the same time.

I was thinking if there is some possibility using white 24 tooth clutch gear(s) but for now I'll work on my RC telehandler...

not on the hooklift. There are two modes: Tipping and unloading the Container. In both the actuators have to move in and out and the mode switch has to stand still while actuator movement.

What is the function you need?

I was hoping to make sliding container until one point and then to activate hook...

with one motor? telescopic moves in, at the retracting endpoint it activates with a lever a gear switch wich is activating the lift and disable the telescopic. When the lift is coming down it activates a lever which switches the gearbox from lift to telescopic.

Yes something similar like that. Actually inspiration came from @Sariel's autovalve idea.

 

[efferman]

Enough for today

 

....i know, i have to vacuum the dirt

[1gor]

It looks great in real bricks 

[efferman]

Thanks

Altough i will only make an PU instruction, PF fits with small changes too.

 

[1gor]

Well I'm in PF world and probably when I use all PF elements that I have, I'll see if there is something manual that can be built and then (most likely) I'll stop building with LEGOs. When I see how much sets with PU cost here it is simply to much for me...

[AFOLegofan66]

I'm in a definite PF world!! 

[efferman]

It was a good time, but i guess the time of PF is over.

 

As always, some parts are missing

Small handbraketest of the Trailer

 

[Jundis]

Looks very smooth :-)

Do you have suspension on the rear wheels? The gap between wheel arches and wheels seems to narrow...?

All 6 axles in this vid have a suspension. on the Truck with a half stud travel, on the trailer a little bit more.

Beautiful 

[efferman]

Unbelievable! less than a month and it is copied

Lesson 1 in "How to be uncreative": Be a chinese copycat-company.

@efferman I hope you can take it as an honor, not an insult.

I know the mentality, but it scares me how fast they are.

yeah. I went on their site, and found multiple other copied MOCs.
