[Updated 12/02/23] Sunbelt Rentals JLG 1250AJP Boom Lift WIP
Captain Contractor posted a topic in LEGO Town
Update - December 02, 2023 Finished the model and ordered the pieces through BrickLink. I had to make some compromises, mainly with removing the idea of having the axles be extendable, and some issues with the safety bars of the manbasket. However, I am working with a company that makes decals for the real machine so that my MOC will have a full sticker set. Here's a few more pictures, showing how the side panels open, as well as the SNOT (potentially illegal building techniques) that I used for the glazier kit on the underside of the basket.

I can't wait to share the completed thing with y'all! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Figured I'd share some progress of a build I've been working off and on in Studio 2.0. This is a scaled-down version of a 125 ft/38m boom lift built by JLG. I'm building it in the colors of Sunbelt Rentals, which is a nationwide North American machinery rental company. So far, it has both side compartment access panels functioning, with plans to include the extendable axles just like the real machine. I hope to have this model complete and built by the end of December. Lego JLG 1250AJP WIP by Captain Contractor, on Flickr And here's an image of the real machine for reference.

[MOC] Pneumatic Cherry Picker - 42128 alternate + instructions
BrickRandom posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Inspired by LEGO 8292 Cherry Picker, I've created a pneumatic rendition of that model as an alternate build of LEGO 42128 Heavy Duty Tow Truck. Pneumatic Cherry Picker by Brick Random, on Flickr My Pneumatic Cherry Picker has the following functions: steering (turn the knob on top of the cab) raise arm (pneumatic) extend/retract arm (pneumatic) turn arm (lift and turn the knob on top of the cab) open doors (manual) 4 cylinder engine driven by the four rear wheels A video demonstrating the functions: The basic shape of the original model is still visible in the final build of the Pneumatic Cherry Picker. However, the internal structure is almost entirely new, as a result of changing from mechanical to pneumatic operation of the arm, adding the engine (with two differentials for the four rear wheels) and the availability of parts in 42128. Instructions The model consists of 900 parts (all from 42128 Heavy Duty Tow Truck). Building instructions (a 215 step PDF document) are available on Rebrickable: https://reb.li/m/123565 More pictures are available on Flickr: Pneumatic Cherry Picker by Brick Random- 2 replies

[MOC] Motorized Cherry Picker
Anto posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi! Two years ago, I did a motorizable cherry picker for a contest on the french forum TechLUG. So, I used the comments I had, and I decided to : - Use a more little scale - Better proportions - I did a better cab. In the first MOC, it was too heavy because of the battery box inside it. - The first cherry picker was motorizable by a M motor ; this one is only motorized, more simple and efficient. To summararise : Better proportions (I hope ^^) Only motorized I use inverted gearboxes for : - Outriggers - Arm - Turn table And the manual functions : - The steering (of course) - Extension of the arm So, here's the result: The simplest function is the steering. But there is the L motor over it. So, I used three 16t gears to turn the wheels directly by their axle of rotation. And now, the gearbox. It's an inverted gearbox : the "out gears" turn in the opposite sense. So, when you invert the position of the driving ring, you invert the rotation of a function. Here are screenshots: The outriggers can up the truck: the wheels don't touch the floor. To finish, the arm. It has a triple deformable quadrilateral. I needed so much time to do it, but it's nice to see in action. And the video :- 18 replies
