Posted December 21, 201113 yr I created full building instructions of the container crane, designed by Barman (the same guy who made the big V8 and the Avatar Helicopter). The crane is in minifig scale and can be combined with normal Lego trains and trucks. It has full PF-operation of the 4 crane-functions. The instructions and parts list can be downloaded on the instructions-page of my website www.jurgenstechniccorner.com
December 21, 201113 yr Very nice Jurgen! Well done. I am not that into trains, but I love cranes and I think a lot of people will be very happy with these instructions. Keep up the good work
December 21, 201113 yr That is amazing that you managed to recreate that beast in virtual, that must have taken forever! Nice job though. tim
December 21, 201113 yr Thanks a lot! He did a great job with that... now we only need some extra sensors to make it more intelligent.
December 21, 201113 yr The renders are by incomparable Blakbird. Thanks for the PDF Building Instructions and Brickstore XML file! This Container Crane is also posted on Rebrickable.
December 21, 201113 yr The video did not show the slew of the grap,however it is still a great crane.
December 22, 201113 yr Jurgen, will you or Barman be so good as to get the parts list available on Basebrick as well ? It'd be much easier for me to figure out which parts I'd need to build this. I'd imagine it'll be quite a few :p

I'd imagine it'll be quite a few :p You can actually export the parts list on Rebrickable in Basebrick format via the link just above the parts images. Or for the lazy: Export
December 22, 201113 yr Author Does this mean my help is no longer required? And aam I allowed to post this in the Trains-forum as well ? There might be some train-lovers who don't visit the technic section, but who will find this model usefull.
December 22, 201113 yr Thank you very, very much, Jurgen. That's what I need for my son, who get the Maersk Train at Christmas. It ist so playable.... Regards, Thorsten
December 23, 201113 yr @ Jurgen Krooshoop: There is already a Trains Forum topic about Barman's Container Crane here, with mention of your new Building Instructions. People really like it!
December 23, 201113 yr Does this mean my help is no longer required? Jurgen, I can upload the XML file straight into BaseBrick, which I've already done by now Just need to order some new parts tomorrow and I'll be able to build this soon, I'm only missing a few more exotic parts No more help needed from you there, thanks man !

Wow im kind of jealous you have all those parts ... tim
December 23, 201113 yr Wow im kind of jealous you have all those parts ... tim Don't be too jealous, my collection is still dwarfed by many collections around here After checking Bricklink and ordering the remaining parts I'm 100€ lighter, so it's not like I have all of them lying around That said, there is a distinct lack of blue parts around here, it looks like I'm going to have to search them outside of Belgium ... Good thing I can substitute most parts with another colour if needed If anyone has 8 pieces of Blue Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular Double Split then please give me a shout as the closest supplier with that amount is in Canada
