DLuders Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 On his Brickshelf gallery, Wanucha posted 13 pictures of his Lego Technic Pneumatic Forest Crane. It is a "Modified Lego 8053.... Functions consist of one M motor, compressor, one small piston and 3 big pistons." His 110-page PDF Building Instructions are available for download on his website here. On page 2, he lists the Lego sets used: 8053 -- Used most parts. 8265 -- Used smaller parts and panel plate. 8049 -- Used smaller parts and all pneumatics. 8263, 8288 -- Used small parts and black panel. 8883 (PF M motor) and 8869 (PF switch). 8042 -- Used only pneumatics. + some other parts and a homemade 9V battery box.

Alasdair Ryan Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I like the truck i am still working out how the slew of the crane worked. Quote
timslegos Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Wow that's a lot of function for such a small MOC. As for the slew of the crane, i see the 24t gear next to the turntable but not where another knob is to rotate it. tim Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) I like it! Nice boom design. It looks like the boom uses pneumatics to rotate it. Edited October 16, 2011 by dhc6twinotter Quote
Aqualize Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Well I appreciate the workings of it, but it isn't really a forest crane. At least modeled after some real life machine. Calling it a heavy load truck with crane would suit it more. Quote
