Hi boys, I am still thinking about the batery box location. It is in front part, but this part is 4-wide like the existing batery box. Correct me if I am wrong, but the sides are red, top is gray? It looks like red sticker on booth sides? Maybe we are looking on prototype, nobody knows:cry_happy:.

Thank You for this review! Good work . I like this set (is in my wanted list ). Why? Lot of nice details, functional supports on trailer, cabine with doors, Octan stickers!, friendly price...

Looks very good! I like the front part of this truck. It is something different than the standard TLC front "mask" in most CITY sets. Do You have some idea how to utilize this flatbed truck in fire dept?

Hi dr_spock, this is nice MOD, huge truck, really. Good idea, it is good inspiration for me. 5 stars from 5 I have one question. I have also this original truck, there is problem with the trailer: lifted wheel on the end, when the trailer is fully extracted. Do You have the same problem with your modified trailer? I see that you add one axis more for higher stability. But the additional technic liftarm increase (maybe?) the deviation of trailer body (banana ). Thank Your for your answer.

Boys, I am back again, thank you for the comments. To dr_spock: this model is without steering due the lack of material. I have some ideas, but is somewhere in fog now To Sigfried: I agree, 7249 crane is too big for my City, my goal was 8-wide, but 10-wide can be better for the modeling of operator cabine. Good luck to You, I hope we will see Your nice model in short time Now I am little bit busy, but I am thinking about some improvements. See You later.

Hello my friends, I am back with my new MOC, 10-wheels Mobile Crane, ispired by Liebherr Crance (LTM 1200-5.1) the outriggers are horizontal extendable, winch protected for uncontroled turning, arm is aslo extendable, 4-rope pulleys hook, etc. This model is WIP: - removable conterweight - pneumatic cylinders in place of axle support Photos: Thank You for Your comments!

Hello Lightningtiger and Milan, thank You for your comment. I agree, the front plate is too high, but I has no ideas how to rework it. I put it into my ToDo list I my country is crane in charge of Fire Department standard equipment (in bigger towns or industrial areas). In smaller town and FD stations are using commercial cranes. Some examples:

Hello my friends, this MOC was created few months ago, but it is still my best-loved model. It is my own design. Yes, it is again in 8-wide scale, it is heavy equipment This type of crane is intended for freeing/rescuing in any case of disaster, building collapse, etc. More images: BS Gallery

Hello, I agree with "5150 Lego", the last truck is the best! Lot of boxes and equipment, can be also use as a service truck for trams, airplanes or something like that. Well done! Now I must build large service station and garages for your "orange angels team"

Yes, the doors 1x3x2 in orange are little bit unique. But your last modification is very good! Great truck.

Hi Milan, thank You for this comment. What next? My dream is to build this truck with TRAILER, but now I am in brainstorming phase or this one:

Thank You for comments, my friends. I have lot of 8-wide models, this width allows more details in the front part. But this scale is not ideal for Lego City roads, I agree. This truck was in real also in firefighting modification (ladder, water or foam tanker).

Hi friends, there is another MOC from my factory. It is heavy truck for pulling heavy load trailers (e.g. trailers with buldozers, cranes, excavators...) I take as a example (in my country famous) TATRA 813 8x8. There is result (still in construction ):

Hi Allan, this is great MOC, I like the front part, looks very powerfull . I have one remarks or suggestion, your type of door in cabine is not idea. they are too small and there is large flat area aroud front doors. This door type will be better: Orange Door 1 x 3 x 2 I vote for wheels closer to the front. Thank You Allan for this MOC, it is inspiration for me!

Hello lightningtiger, Your MOC looks perfect! I prefer the 2-axis version, it is closer to the EU recovery trucks. I must agree with Captain Blackmoore, blue flash lights are mostly used for Rescue and Emergency vehicles (also in my country), try to change the color to orange/yellow I like the the elevating mechanism, something new for me. Nice work
