[DLuders]

Solic posted a nifty Liebherr LTR 1100 Mobile Crane MOC on his Brickshelf folder. There are detailed pics of:

1) The crane working to lift a power transmission tower ( http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=429977 ),

2) The Power Functions mechanics ( http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=429976 ),

3) The boom ( http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=429975 ), and

4) The Power Functions chassis ( http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=429973 ).

Wow, impressive !! I especially like the tracks which can be extended & retracted.

The retractable tracks are really a good detail, but i wonder how much they bend under weight. Very oroginal idea withe the boom rack, mounted sideways, but i ama bit worryed about those 2 LA's holding the entire weight at such low pivot point. Two serial LA's might be better in this case, but despite all these things, the crane still rules!

Awesome! I really like the design of the boom. The yellow part of the boom is built very similar to how I'm planning to build the boom on one of my future projects. The black part of the boom is beautiful. Very nicely done.
