MOC PNEUMATIC KNUCKLE BOOM CRANE

[DLTC]

Hi!
Around three months ago i relelased the Unimog U5023, the intention for the moc was to have different attachment modules than can be interchanged easily.A month later of uploading the unimog, i finnished the instructions for a simple bed module and now i finnished this pneumatic knuckle boom crane inspired in palfinger cranes.

Link to rebrickable : https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-137436/DLTC/pneumatic-knuckle-boom-crane-module-for-unimog-u5023/#details





The main part of this module is the pneumatic crane which actually has a pretty nice wingspan, it uses a big hand pump hidden inside the base next to the switches.The rotating mechanism knob is placed right above the first switch.

The module also has working slidable outriggers with fake hydraulic cylinders.

Last but not least, the hinged bed which is a shorter version of the previous bed module.Its got similar rear and side hinged doors.

I did also upload the crane alone so anyone can build and fit it in their builds : https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-137449/DLTC/pneumatic-knuckle-boom-crane/#details

Looks really nice and clean.

I suppose, lifting capacity is not much?

Thank you very much!

Yes,you are rigth, the lifting capacity is not much with single cylinders on main sections.

I considered using double cylinders but the height and width will be bigger plus i got inspired by the palfinger pk18002, i am tho considering building it , not for the unimog but atleast to have an improved version.

Great job on this attachment. The Unimog looks great, and as you say, an attachment for a MOG is always a good idea.

A knuckleboom is always a great idea for a MOG, but often they look a little bulky for the scale. This one looks clean, so well done. I really like how you placed the pump, and the hose routing looks good.
