Caselogic08 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Hi Im trying to build a special type of container hook lifter. I need some pieces or tips on how to build this. Exactly what I need is a mast of a truck forklift mounted horisontly. So when raising the the mast it should be like a two section that comes out. The firs section is driven by some type of actuator or worm gear. The second part that can slide into the first part is driven by chains or something else..wire.. and the third part should slide into the second part all the way up and all the way down of course when fully extended or fully collapsed. But I have no pieces for the slides. It should be a smoothe slide that doesnt take to much place. I hope someone could help me find some pieces for the slide function.

Regards Case I have no idea how to post instructions, but you could use the same technique used for the center wheels of the tram in Public Transport. Here are the directions (look on page 31 and 32): http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/4598285.pdf Edited January 10, 2012 by Squelch Quote

charlieboy Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Have you tried www.bricklink.com You'll find every kind of brick on there Quote
Caselogic08 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 Have you tried www.bricklink.com You'll find every kind of brick on there Strangely I couldnt find it on this site. They are listed as plate 1x2 with slide and sliding 1x4 piece, any others places to check out ? Regards Case Quote
L@go Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 It's just that the BrickLink standard and the Peeron standard (and the official Lego standard) for naming bricks doesn't quite match. On BrickLink, these parts are called Plate, Modified 1x2 with Door Rail and Brick, Modified 1x4 with Groove. For example, if you wanted to go for black pieces, there are currently 594 sellers offering the modified brick and 669 sellers offering the modified plate for sale... so you just have to know where (or, more correctly, how) to look!
