Lowbed trailer

[Stephen Provoost]

Hello,

I'm a big fan of lego since I was a child. Now I often play with lego technic.

This is the first time I made something I want to share with other people.

Take a look at the pictures (probably not yet public)

Are there suggestions to make it better?

Thank you

Stephen

Welcome to the forum, you trailer looks good but since your BS folder is not 'live' yet it would be good if you could deeplink a few more pics.

@ Stephen P.: Since it may be several days before your Brickshelf gallery is made public, here is how to "Deeplink" your pictures directly: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5448&st=0 . Only you can access (and see) your gallery now, but "Deeplinking" allows others to see your various pictures now.

Here you go.

@ Stephen P.: Your Lowbed Trailer looks good! It looks like you have used many parts from the 8052 Container Truck set. Have you seen Han's "Truck 8x4 with Detachable Lowloader" and other trailers on his website?

Thank you!! :)

I must say, I have a lot of sets ;) I will try to make a photo of my collection this week.

I have seen his website, he makes very nice stuff. I hope, someday, I can also make amazing pieces of lego technic.

I think you definitely are on the track to making great MOCs! Your trailer is very nice. What are the functions of the trailer?

I like your trailer,does it extend in length?

[davidmull]

Very nice trailer, would look well behind 8258 and even better with 8043 on the bed :)

Thank you

No, it can't extend in length because of the steering wheels at the back. Maybe I can make it extend :)

Thank you :p

motorized:

It has 'legs' to lift it from the truck

the thing at the end can go down or up ( I don't know the name in English)

not motorized:

there are extensions to make it wider.

The things at the end that lower are called ramps in English .

Heres a way of powering the wheels and ramps and have it extend in length.

You attach a small pf motor to the diff (ether end)but not to the '12' axle.

Nice! Always wondered what would be the right way to do this.
