Harbour Crane

[KirTech LAB]

Hello All!

During last month I’ve created a few models and I want to present one of them – it is the Harbour Crane.

The model is build in minifigure-scale. It is 68 cm long and 48 cm high.

There are four remote controlled functions:

- crane moving;

- carriage moving;

- spreader up/down;

- spreader lock/unlock.

And of course video demonstration:

Thanks for watching!

just the other day, playing gta i was wondering why there aren't so many cranes!

amazing construction man :)

Beat me too it! I was going to say the same thing! haha

Excellent crane! I think its awesome with the level of control and movements.

Great job.

I like the colour scheme and claw mech with a micro motor!

I really feel like eating popcorn all of a sudden....

True! There plenty of them in the game though

Indeed a very nice creation

Nice work. Cable management reminds of the real cranes I see at the harhour. Those cranes don't move really fast on the tracks. I was working at the port and parked my car on the track. I had plenty of time to get it out of the way.

Thanks all!

Yes, i spent some time to study real crane mechanisms and i am happy my model seems like real machine! Of course LEGO wires are rather rigid and looks not so beautifull like real.

A lovely creation and I like the mix of technic and rail tracks. Nice colour as well. I've not watched the video yet.

This is so cool!

How much can it lift?

[jantjeuh]

Very nice MOC! The spreader uses a 9V micromotor?

[Phoxtane]

Is the spreader really hanging by its cable? :O

This is really cool creation. I love that it's nearly mini fig scale. Although the proportions seem not to fit. I think it needs to be higher and the bridge longer.

But i really like the lowering mechanism with the cable clutch between the rubber tires.

Thank you! I built this model for city-containers and they are lifted without problems! It is no necessary to lift heavy weights :)

Yes, that's it!

Yes :) firstly i wanted to use cables, but the wire is too rigid and i decided to use it for lifting without any cables!

Cool crane. I like it

[Milan]

Not something you see every day!

Strong frame and it works good.

[timslegos]

Nice work on the truss arms. I especially like the technique you use to grab onto the containers.

Very Nice. it reminds me of Barman's crane

[Hrafn]

Very nice! Will you have any opportunities to integrate it into a minifig-scale diorama, at a show or something? It would be the perfect blend of Town, Train, and Technic!

Thanks all for comments!

My city-collection is very small, but i have many friends and i'll try to put my crane into real town :)

Wow, nice to see something other than a vehicle. I was playing GTA and I looked at a crane and said imagine if you made this outta technic (Psn clarkdef)... Anyway it takes some true ambition to make something like this, but actually looking at it, I think maybe more doable than relised, so we may see more of this in the future.
