Gabor Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Hi everyone! This is my newest big technic creation, a remote controlled ship to shore crane! The crane is 66 cm high and 107 cm long, it has 8 whels, 4 motors and it contains 34 13L liftarms and 42 15L liftarms. It has four functions. It can go near the water, catch and release the container, rise and lower it and take it between the shore and the ship. I made a video about the crane. The temperature was +1°C, the batteries were weak, so the mechanism of the compressor couldn’t work well, the crane couldn’t catch the container. We had to found out something instead of the original screenplay, and this is the result, a real HD disaster movie in Holywood style! :) (The video is faster, than the real speed.) If you don’t belive, that the crane can catch the container, or you are simply curious about the real speed of the functions, look at this video, too: If you are interested in the boring technical detailes about the crane and its functions, follow this link: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/380083 Thanks for watching! :) Quote
Tigertass Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Wow, me like big time..... But the ship looks of scale but who cares? Any LDD files coming up on this one? Quote
JGW3000 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Brilliant and great presentation - a new high bar to shoot for. But, how do I get the poster? Quote
TinkerBrick Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Fantastic presentation - charming movie. IMHO the real genius lies in the remote controlled ship and truck. Although the conditions weren't great, you put a lot of effort an love in it. It made my day. The crane looks great, but i would have used liftarms to support the bridge instead of string. I agree with Tigertass, the ships needs to be larger - but it's ok since the crane is featured. Quote
Lakop Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Love your crane! I wonder how many technic fans would like to see Lego produce one. H Quote
Gabor Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks everyone! @Tigertass: The ship is small, because two big project is too expensive. Big crane with small ship is better, then small crane with big ship! I want to make an LDD file, I don't know when, but I will tell here, if it's ready! @JGW3000: Well, the fans have already bought every magazine, sorry... @TinkerBricks: I think that liftarms would be too thick there.

unimog123 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Interesting MOC. I liked the video very much. I'm sure it takes a lot of work to pull that whole presentation off, and I must say it is worth it! Great job. Quote
timslegos Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Thats one great looking crane! Nice work. tim Quote
Gee Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Love your crane! I wonder how many technic fans would like to see Lego produce one. I would. I think that it could be popular, as long as there were container trucks in the same scale. Technic doesn't seem as bothered about their models being played with together like system, rather they're mostly stand alone sets. Quote
Rishab N Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Awesome work! Its huge and unique too! Quote
Gabor Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Thanks for your comments! Glad you like it! Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Nice model. Really nice presentation. I do agree with Tinkerbricks that the strings are too thin, but I also agree with you that liftarms would be too thick. Maybe the rigid tubes used in the flex system can be used here? Quote
Gabor Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) @Jeroen: Thanks! The diameter of these tubes are good, but these strings are not decoration, they hold the weight of the crane. Is is possible to make the tubes longer and fix them onto the crane without loosing the safety, which we got from the strings? Edited February 3, 2014 by Gabor Quote
Zmei_gorini4 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) to Gabor. it's really unusual and a very cool creation. thank you. Edited February 3, 2014 by Zmei_gorini4 Quote
Brick_Sticker Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I really like the mocs like this, that are a little different. Good work Gabor! Quote
Johnny P Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Beautyfull really beautyfull. the other day a i was delivering fuel to a boat with my truck and at the docks i had to drive underneath maybe 10 of this cranes and i was thinking that if i ever find the time for a massive moc this would be so wonderfull to recreate. now i have a example to look at. Thanks for that. Quote
D3K Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Great build! I must also say I love the little sailing boat in your signature Quote
Gabor Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Thanks again for the kind words! Quote
Gabor Posted April 5, 2014 Author Posted April 5, 2014 Hi everyone! The LDD file is available for the crane on Mocpages: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/380083 Quote
