KirTech LAB Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Hello All! Today I want to present small but funny model. It is reduced prototype of my future project – Rock Loader Mk II (first version was built in 2011, and I was short of parts at that time - http://www.doublebri...2/rock-loader-0). All functions have manual control. - rotation - boom rising - boom extension - bucket unloading (with lock for heavy weights) - outriggers Control, counterweights, exhaust Extended boom, Bucket lock Extended outriggers Video with functions demonstration: Thanks for watching!

Zerobricks Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Thats an awesome small model! The ropes are for decoration? Quote
Lakop Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 That's a great model man and it has so many functions. I love your outriggers and I am keen to see them in action. A bigger scale with motors etc would be fantastic. H Quote
Brick_Sticker Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Very nice! Love all the functions it has. Brick_Sticker Quote
KirTech LAB Posted May 10, 2014 Author Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks all! I am glad you like it! The ropes are for decoration? At the first time i've placed the ropes because i didn't reinforce upper part of boom with liftarm. But the bucket isn't so heavy and main boom didn't bent. So i can say that the ropes are for decoration but it isn't entirely true :) That's a great model man and it has so many functions. I love your outriggers and I am keen to see them in action. A bigger scale with motors etc would be fantastic. Thanks! Unfortunatelly outriggers moves only horizontaly and the model doesn't rise under the surface. I can't do this feature in this scale. But i hope in a full-scale model this feature would be work! But this project will take a few monthes... Quote
bord4kop Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Very nice model, something out of the ordinary Good looking and it has really nice functions! Quote
Milan Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Unique! I like this. And the fact that it is construction machine, I like it even more :) Quote
Doc_Brown Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 This is awesome! Reminds me of something from Thunderbirds! haha. Quote
Captainowie Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Do you have some way to limit the travel of the turntable? I imagine that it would be rather unstable if the bucket got all the way around to the back. That said, it's a beautiful little model. Owen. Quote

Yes, i've added rotation limiter for safety work :) And now i have video: Edited October 31, 2014 by desert752 Quote
Thirdwigg Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Very creative. It's nice to see a machine we have not seen before. Quote
filsawgood Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Cool! Excellent functionality, despite the fact that management hand. True Technic! Quote
Tommy Styrvoky Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) nice build, very compact. yes it's "very stable with outriggers" Edited May 15, 2014 by Tommy Styrvoky Quote
KirTech LAB Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 Thanks All! nice build, very compact. yes it's "very stable with outriggers" Thanks! In the first place the stability is provided by counterweights - there are four boat weightbricks in it Outriggers are more for decoration than for functionality... Quote
