Dumptrailer

[Stephen Provoost]

I made a dumptrailer (not yet finished) for the truck i've copied from Jaap. (Very nice truck btw).

It uses 1 m-motor for the legs and 1 m-motor for the linear actuators.

I must fix the lifting of the bed because it's a little bit heavy.

hope you like it.

Very nice truck and trailer.

Jaap has some very good moc's that are work a look.

Looks great so far. You may want to build actuators out of bricks (stronger) rather than the ones you are using.

If it is geared down enough it will not mater.

Well eventually the LA's clutch will engage no matter how geared down the motor is.

Well yes,but it will lift a good weight be before the clutch kicks in.

I like your Dump trailer a lot. it's good looking and great futures in that

[Stephen Provoost]

Thanks for the reactions. :)

I will lift the bed by two studs to have more strenght.

now it's only 1 stud to hang the trailer on the truck, and that's not strong enough.

I will also try to make a new lifting mechanism.

I also made a lowbedtrailer ( also not yet finished ).

5 axles (all steering) and 1 m-motor for lifting the ramp.

New photo's will be posted.
