www.ditzj.de is back!

[Sam42]

After a long long period without any updates ditzj.de is back! a great source of inspiration for truck and crane models that we have previously mentioned here....

UPDATE!

[DLuders]

That site looks like a nice reference to allow folks to make some TREMENDOUS Lego Technic trucks!

holy moly, this is a really sweet little Crane. damn, why are the lego turntables must be so small and weak. i need a 13 studs wide massive Turntable which have no problem with heavy load.

I think no matter how big official LEGO turntable might be in the future, there would always be big friction when crane rotates under the load.

Roller bearings ring around the turntable might be the key.

I agree that we need 50% or 100% larger turntable.

perhaps this works???

its an idea from an mobile crane, you can scale it up i think.

If some people wants to have detailed pic's ,i can make them.

i work with these truckcranes, and mobile cranes and some harbour cranes.

That solution worked on her crane, but is outdated now.

She used it mainly to save space, so it is not the best example.

Full roller bearings ring in still the best fix for taking the pressure off the turntable.

Thanks for the update. I was getting truck withdrawal and trying to read German at http://www.heavy-transport-world.de

Interestingly he said he was going to be away for June and July back in May or something like that.

Sure you'r right , but we don't have them at the moment.

Think its time TLC would make them. Perhaps 9 or 11 Long

I'm building a turntable right now. Don't know what the "hardcore" lego builders think of it , but i used a ?bearing? where i put 4 L shaped beams and some other small connectors.

right now they are fit in the hole and a heavyduty glue is poored in it (something like epoxy) . The complete bearing is fit in a frame which is 11 studs wide and 15 long , and also fixed with the epoxy.

When its complete i will put a photo here so you can use the idea when you like it.

Well here's a link to the havy duty turntable on brickshelf , i need to clean it up a little , but i have to waight till the epoxy is hardened.
