[MOC] Telescopic handler

[syclone]

Good day. 
For a long time I wanted to create a moc with various functions apart from steering and drive. 

Overview:
-4x4 drive with 2 diffs
-3 steering modes : rear only, crab and all-wheel steering
-Boom ascention
-Boom extention
-Forks tilting 
-part count of approximately 1000 pieces

The forks on the end of the boom were able to be replaced with another attachment by pulling out two 8l axles with stop. The cabin has on openable door , adjustable seat and a lever to switch steering modes. The steering is a very basic type, the front stering motor is attached to a switch , which neutralizes it's movement or decides the direction of steering. the boom is extended through a pulley system , which was done due to lack of 4 stud gearracks. total boom size being fully extended is of 60 studs. The video below shows basic functionality. 

Something I learned with this build is that I should stick with smaller size mocs and not to rush into medium sized model. All photos here

It's a good functioning model and good looking too  Interesting steering as well. Good job!

Very nice model. Telehandlers are always difficult to make because of their (mostly) transverse mounted engine. So LEGO models go usualy without fake engine like yours or they are to wide. The only complain is that your model is a bit pale

Nice model! A little slow if it has to be 3x sped up, but amazing nonetheless!

+1 maybe you could make it red, or may I dare say yellow?

That's pretty cool, its compact, functional and looks rigid. You have nicely packed up lot of functionality. The tyers are impressive.
