Manual Crawler Crane (WIP)- Mostly done

[Aventador2004]

Hi Guys!

My last crane was just the start, this is a futuristic, non cabin crane. Instead of a regular driver, a set of controls is provided out of the crane. If the crane were to tip, the driver would be safe. It would restrict loads to prevent mistakes. 

• Winch
• Luffing
• Jib Attachment  (WIP)
• Rolling Tracks
• Slewing

Pictures:

More to come!

It's okay. I think a gear control for slewing like the crane operation should be present. Is there a ratcheting mechanism for the boom so that it doesn't fall? The boom looks pretty heavy for a winch with just a friction lock.

It has the clutch (16) gears on friction pins, they hold strong. It takes 400 grams before it starts moving the boom (middle position), and the book about the same.

A slewing gear, I can see if room is there now that there is a third winch.

Great idea, this looks like it would go with 42081 quite well. Good to see the futuristic theme in Technic is thriving.

An interesting combo that would be.

The crane now has a luffing jib, and 3 winches.

Pics tomorrow.

I am pretty sure one will end up here, that would be nice to see an autonomous construction site.

Well, 42081 gives you a loader and a dumper (if you get two copies), so what's next? Maybe an automated bulldozer?
