Nequmodiva Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 This cherry picker is an alternate of 42053 Volvo EW160E. Functions are steering, platform lifting, boom rotation and extending outriggers. Boom rotation is done with a knob at the back. Also at the back are knobs for the outriggers, one for each side. Outriggers can actually lift the vehicle from the ground. It's just not visible in the photos because I placed it on soft ground. For the pneumatic system I did not choose the hand pump. I rather went with the small pump and a crank. It takes some rotations for the lifting, but works really good and has a better fine tuning of the height than the hand pump. Also I did connect the pneumatic actuator only with one tube. Gravity is enough to lower the platform. There's a hatch door above the pneumatic pump and a door for the platform. On the black panel at the front the sticker for the B model is applied. I've published more photos, inventory and ldd-file at rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-8542/Nequmodiva/42053-cherry-picker/#comments Quote
Immo Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Neatly done! I'm a huge fan of C-Models and this one is well executed. Like how lightweight and solid at the same time it looks. The grille is great, too. Good job Quote
offroadcreations Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Awesome! A must build for me. Great use of parts. Quote
Jurss Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Really good C-model, functionality also seems full for cherry picker. Could be officail B-model. Quote
Rudivdk Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Very nice! Really like the use of the orange parts for the bucket. And smart use of the little pump, would have never thought of operating it manually myself Quote
Tomik Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 I've found this model on rebrickable and I like it very much. It resembles me set 8292. Quote
BusterHaus Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Great work, it looks very original and has plenty of functions. Quote

therealjustin Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Very clean, it looks like an official set! Quote
mattthewise Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 This is very nice! I've been looking for a C-model for this set but haven't been able to find one until now. I'll have to add this to my build list. Quote

Pneumatic V2 parts are available for it :) Yes they are, but they are missing in LPub3D library. It gave me quite a headache to figure why they show in ldwiev/mlcad, but not in lpub. From some obscure reason LPub has its own library at different place, if I remember correctly it is located in zip file name complete.zip, located in LDraw directory. Quote

Maybe my parts library is not up to date. 5 hours ago, Ivan_M said: Yes they are, but they are missing in LPub3D library.

Ah okay, then I did not miss anything by not finding the cylinder. Quote
Aventador2004 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Sorry for reviving this topic, but I have a mini review: (From my view of a younger brother building, it is his set. Build: 8/10, closer examination necessary. Functions: 9/10, only the hard work of outriggers, and steering could be better with a year rack. Fun level: 9/10, super playable Overall: 8.5 Stable pickins! Thanks for making it, younger brother loves it! Edited February 27, 2018 by Aventador2004 Quote
