[TC10] Scraper Caterpillar

[juGSI16V]

Hello everyone,

For the new contest on Eurobrick, i built a scraper like this one:

Functions

All functions are pneumatic:

- Steering by 2 pneumatic cylinder V1 2x7
- Ascent and descent of the bucket by 2 pneumatic cylinder V1 2x7
- Ejector are actionned by 2 pneumatic cylinder V2 2x11

Compressed air are produced by a pneumatic pomp small V2 and a L motor.

In front, there is an 6L fake engine pulled by front wheels.

Pictures

Here is the first picture:




Now I have to build the front of the vehicle. The rest of review later

This looks great, can't wait to see the whole thing.

This looks great, can't wait to see the whole thing.

I agree, all of us we have 1 or 2 when we are kids and I think nobody knows what they do it exactly.

This looks great so far. I've a soft spot for these machines as my Dad drove one in the '70's.

I look forward to seeing the finished build.

[juGSI16V]

Thanks, i work on it every evening.
In the reality, this machine serves to scrape the ground, transport it, and dump it somewhere else.

that is a very cool creation. Also very unusual (and thats a compliment ) The looks are good too!

[Legorigs]

Nice job so far. I've been building a scraper myself. Impressive machines.

I will be following this build closely as I like it very much, but also I have wanted a motor scaper build for a long time

to add to the construction machines please keep up the photos and build..

Your own scraper is very big
Mine are small.

I just have finished the front on LDD

I found parts and I build :

I moved forward in the construction



It was necessary to put the compressor and the air tank in the tractor,
Because the weight has been fatal for the collar of swan

Nice progress...it coming along pretty well!

Are you sure the proportions are correct, to me it seems like the part in front of the front wheels is way to long. This makes the whole front part way to long compared to the whole rear section...

Nice work, the idea is original

[ScaleCarModels]

Looks great, scrapers IMO are one of the hardest pieces of equipment to model in Technic.

[KirTech LAB]

Very nice project!

[juGSI16V]

Thanks everybody

Thanks.

The front is to long, because I have the battery box under the 6L. I can lengthen the bucket

Brilliant work! There aren't enough Technic scrapers.

[juGSI16V]

I have rebuild my collar of swan, it's more solid



I have rebuild my bucket, it's more pretty:



and I finished the tractor :

Simply Amazing :wub: I would like to see a Video about the functions

[Legorigs]

Great work so far. In my opinion the neck of the swan on the side of the bowl could be a bit longer and I think you need some more room for the apron. In the neck there's also a hydraulic boom that can open and close the apron. See B in the first image. Second image shows the working of boom and apron.

I like those drawings I learn a lot, I wonder who had the first idea for scraper.

[Kristof]

Haha, that would be interesing to know. As a hobbyist woodworker, I instantly see the handplane in it :) the idea beneath is the very same. Perhaps some heavy equipment engineer held a handplane one day and went like - hey, why wouldn't we use these to plain the ground :D

Thank you for your answer. But unfortunately I have no more pneumatic cylinder to build Apron.
I can't extend the neck of the swan on the side of the bowl, because pneumatic cylinder (who raised and lowered the bowl) were to short.

The scraper are finished to 95%.:

IMO I would put all switches together, I mean in the same place, but anyway it looks very good. Blue tube is Lego of course but I preffer the black one because gives more realistic look.

[grum64]

Looking good
