Very well done. I could imagne this to also be cool as a firefighter truck with ladder!

Very cool crane

Very nice truck crane. Looks like something the Manitex crane company would build.

I had already a fire truck with ladder

Mother of god.. the amount of pictures...

Great build anyways!

Very nice crane! I like all the CAD pictures you've created. They give a nice overview of how the various mechanisms work.

Nice, i like it. The cabin detail though, i would have used dark bluish grey insted of the light grey as you did.

Very nice crane :) Thanks for all the pictures we get to ogle :)

Nice work with this, and good presentation

[Blakbird]

Wow! This is not only an incredible model, I love the way you presented each feature by showing a cutaway of the mechanical drive system. Reminds me of Technicopedia!

[Alasdair Ryan]

Great crane Legosamigos.

It is a shame you could not try and hide the receivers in a more better better place.

I talked with Lugpol members and I told them, that I have not enough space to put IR receiver inside. A tower is too small. If I put IR receivers inside, I can not open a boom. See pictures below

[The Ghost Racer]

Wow, really a great job. I love the details of the cab and all the radio-controlled functions

[Alasdair Ryan]

What about buying ether the rechargeable or the AAA battery box and replacing the AA with it?

That change should generate enough room for the receivers to be placed on top of the battery box.

Saw this on the official Technic website, great job! It inspired me to make a crane like this. (One day >.<)

Does it mean a black one? Maybe it is a good idea, but I have only 5 or 6 these grey battery boxes

No they both come in light grey.

Give it up for legoamiogos! very well done, this very cool model is for me now the second best mobile crane directly placed after Jennifer Clarks mobile crane (but this one is hard to beat IMO)...

What i like most is the completely different look compared with all these 8421-look cranes and and a unique feature with the cabin movement...very well done motorization...

But i would second Alasdair's suggestion about the battery box 8878.. it could really allow to place the IR receivers somehow inside because currently they almost destroy the look of this beautiful model....

I`m not going to beat anybody, especial Jennifer Clarks :D It`s true, my model is different, like most of the Liebherr cranes. Battery box 8878 is smaller, so I`m going to change the look of my model, but... to another MOC :) not for crane ;) Some details in my mobile crane come from 8053, 8421 and new set 42009, f.e. openning outriggers comes from 8421, a boom and gearbox, does it mean winch, extension boom and lifting boom come from 8053 and design of operator`s cabin comes from new set 42009 :)
