Gottwald ak 850 crane

But maybe it will be implemented later. We recommend you purchase this item via Buy It Now. Because of the size it is of course not functional,
and only built to look like the original. Then it is coupled to the main boom, and by some heavy duty winches and wires the A-bracket is pulled
down again and the Main boom up in the air. The superstructure is equipped with 4 winches, one for the A-boom, one for the main boom, when
the crane is equipped with a superlift, one for the flyjib and finally one for the hoist. Upon the outriggers the large turntable is placed, it has to be
very strong since it has to carry the whole weight of the crane and the load. Type here your search. I didnt reach this target, but anyway I am
satisfied with 5. This seller requires the buyer to have a PayPal account to purchase this item. Sometimes you use different hooks for different
loads. The winches has to take a lot of wires, in this model I use around 70 meters when the crane is put up to its full height. In each end of the
winch there is a large 40 tooth gear, which both works as a powerline and edge for the wire. Bottom section As mentioned in the section above
descriping the main boom, then the bottom part is normally used for the main boom, but is changed and used for the superlift if this is mounted. AK
is the first version built, it carried the whole superstructure, which resulted in a gross vehicle weight of ton! Your country's customs office can offer
more details, or visit eBay's page on international trade. Sellers set the item's declared value and must comply with customs declaration laws. A
few more details of the model: If you want to lift a very heavy load with the crane, or very heigh in the air, you need more counterweight and
stability, it is not possible to add that much more counterweight to the superstructure, since it would put too much load in this. If you still wish to
bid, you may do so below. Another solution was to made the quy pins of LEGO parts, but it is hard to find LEGO parts, which can handle pulling
forces, and if they can, they are very large, looks clumsy, and the weight is big. See all condition definitions - opens in a new window or tab. All
the former mobile cranes, were all telescopic cranes, but there is a problem with building telescopic booms in LEGO, since the bricks are thick and
a telescopic boom therefore gets very heavy, and the size is limited because of that. I have chosen to build the superstructure in the version AK,
which mean not separated, because of the small size it is difficult to find the necessary space for winches, motors and wires, when the
superstructure on the same time has to be very stable to handle the large pressure and forces from the crane. Total height of 2. There are very
simple rules for lifting loads with a crane: I have chosen to built the crane in the scale 1: Back to home page. On the rear end of the model I have
put the sparewheel, like on the original, the sparewheel are by gears of 1: Two motors are placed in front, to drive the two small winches, and two
motors in the back to drive the two large winches. In the front is a module with 6 axles, drivers cabin and the engine. Here are some of the data I
have found of the original crane, it is actually pretty hard to find good data of this crane, so if you have some drawings, images or data I am very
interested, you can see more here. They are about 60 cm long, and in the end I have made an eye for a small Technic bushing, and can therefore
be put together with small technic beams. The biggest problem is to get the sideways stability, which is due the loss of stiffness and durability of the
booms and turntable. When the crane is set up with the main boom itself, you need some pins between the end of the A-bracket and the end of the
main boom to transfer the load from the hook to the counterweights on the superstructure, these pins are called quy pins. Estimated delivery dates

12 cylinder engine. The bottom part and the A-brackets The flyjib is coupled to the end of the main boom, with a special joint. My LEGO model
chassis is made in one piece, since I first found out later the chassis could be seperated. The basic length of the superlift is 35 meters, but in some
places it can be necessary to use some extensions of 6, 12 or 18 meters. The cromium parts are from the truck Black Cat. Setting up this type of
crane is completed in 5 steps. Mar 01, Go visit his homepage here , where you can by a CD with all the information and pictures. Since the
winches are that low geared to handle the load, it means they run very slowly, and it takes quite a long time to pull 70 meters of wire in and out. It
can be put on the ground and raised if the crane has to turn. The rollers are made of round bricks 2x2, and joint by small hinges. My solution was
to use some thin metal wires, used for welding. By some reason I have never tried to built a lattice boom crane, and I thought it could be fun to
give it a try. On the first version of the crane, I used some line, but they turned out not to be stiff enough, they got longer when the crane was
heavely loadede, and they were not stable enough. On the original you can put tons , on this model I have 2.

Gottwald AK 850-1 Scale 1:30


You can put ton of ballast on the superlift, which could be compared to about ton on the superstructure. All the axles is steared by one single axle
from front to end, connected with bushings to prevent slack. As the buyer, you should be aware of possible: So is this crane, but it is improved a
lot by make a rim of rollers around the turntable, like and axial roller bearing. On each side of the superstructure, in the rear, there is a construction
for carrying the counterweights. At the same time it was a good opportunity to get some experience to create a larger model some day. The
cromium parts are from the truck Black Cat. They are about 60 cm long, and in the end I have made an eye for a small Technic bushing, and can
therefore be put together with small technic beams. Between the 6 front axles and 4 rear axles the support for outriggers and turntable for carrying
the whole cranes is placed. The junction between the main boom and the flyjib, is one of the hard part to built, it is hard to make a stiff, stable and
light construction. Back to home page Return to top. Therefore I have made af neutral gear for each winch, which makes it possible to manually
put line on and off the winches, it saves a lot of time when setting up the crane. If the crane uses a superlift it is fitted in the most rear bearing, and
the main boom is fitted in the front bearing. On my crane you will discover that the two buttom pieces are a little different. If the crane is going to
use a superlift then the main boom is mount on another seperate buttom piece, like the other. From beginning I aimed to construct a very look a
like model, I were inspired by other fellow LEGO constructors on the internet , and now I wanted to built a very lifelike model of a lattice boom
crane in large scale. From my experince from other cranes, I knew the biggest problem would be the sideways stability of the crane, and the first
part of the boom, the junction is a very important part of the crane. But I could not manage to find such thin weaved line, and I have to use a line
which is used for reparing fishing nets, very strong, thin and black. I built the crane in December , and it did not take me a long time, around 2
days, and a couple of evenings to change and improve the construction. For this purpose you use a 'Luffing Flyjib' it is just an extension to the main
boom, but it can be luffed with a system of brackets and wires. Upon the outriggers the large turntable is placed, it has to be very strong since it
has to carry the whole weight of the crane and the load. For additional information, see the Global Shipping Program terms and conditions - opens

main boom, or a combination of mainboom and luffing flyjib with a total of meters. Click on logos to get Brand pages. If you still wish to bid, you
may do so below. These sections are a bit smaller in dimentions than those used for the main boom. The bottom section The first part of the main
boom, is most of the time mount directly on the superstructure. On my model the A-bracked is couplet to the superstructure by 12 wires through
blocks. My LEGO model chassis is made in one piece, since I first found out later the chassis could be seperated. I sought for some time for a
weaved line, since this kind of line do not twist when it is loaded. It is a ton mobile crane, with a maximum boom length of meters. They are made
of 4 technic beams, one in each corner, and some diagonal braces in all directions. Wheels and stearing The chassis is built upon the large turntable
in the middle, in front there are 6 turnable axles, behind are 4 turnable axles. Therefore it would be almost impossible to create the AK version.
The rollers are made of round bricks 2x2, and joint by small hinges. When the crane is set up with the main boom itself, you need some pins
between the end of the A-bracket and the end of the main boom to transfer the load from the hook to the counterweights on the superstructure,
these pins are called quy pins. Luffing Flyjib If you want to lift a load very high up in the air, or very long horizontal above a tall building, it is good
to be able to luff the outer part of the boom. It took some time for me to find a good "wire" for this crane. Therefore you use a 'Superlift', it is
working with another second boom which are placed in an almost vertical position, but to the rear of the superstructure. Which means, a model of
the Gottwald AK , equipped with a main boom a luffing fly jib. In the front, you will find the drivers cabin, for driving the crane on roads.
Outriggers and turntable In between the 6th and 7th axle I have placed a large turntable, it is the Technic turntable and it is a little to wide for the
chassis. We recommend you purchase this item via Buy It Now. Topsection The topsection on the superlift, is a rather complicated part of the
boom. This can be found under the bid entry box. Resume bidding , if the page does not update immediately. But maybe it will be implemented
later. Another solution was to made the quy pins of LEGO parts, but it is hard to find LEGO parts, which can handle pulling forces, and if they
can, they are very large, looks clumsy, and the weight is big. When the main boom is raised, it is raised with the help of the A-bracket, this part is
carried by the crane during transport, and it can be raised with hydraulic cylinders, when the crane is without load. A few more details of the
model: The total height of the crane is therefore 2. The superlift is in this model built the same way as the main boom.

Kibri Gottwald AK Crane


It took some time for me to find a good "wire" for this crane. On gottwald ak 850 crane side of the superstructure, in gottwald ak 850 crane
rear, there is a construction for carrying the counterweights. If the crane is going to use a superlift then the main boom is mount on another seperate
buttom piece, like the other. Maxi-lift ballast The advantage of the ballast compared to the counterweight on the superstructure is the distance from
the turntable. See all condition definitions - opens in a new window or tab. Setting up this type of crane is completed in 5 steps. The advantage of
the ballast compared to the counterweight on the superstructure is the distance from the turntable. The one for the main boom gttwald is not that
strong, and fits on the crane by transportation. The choise of scale is 1: Your bid is greater than or equal to the Buy It Now price. Extensions The
gottwald ak 850 crane boom are made with 3 extensions, each of them 60 cm long. Since the scale is very small, it is gottwld to make a
gottwald ak 850 crane lattice construction in the booms which looks like the original. The A-bracket is always equipped a, the buttom part of the
main boom or superlift. The quy pins for the maxi-lift ballast and A-bracket, are the same as gottwald ak 850 crane one used for the main boom
described above. Because of the rollers cgane is not wk to use the outer rim of the turntable to turn the crane around. All the axles is steared by
one single axle from front to end, connected with bushings to prevent slack. I think the result is good, they looks real, and the stability of the crane
is improved a lot. I didnt reach this target, but anyway I am satisfied with 5. Which means, a model of the Gottwald AKequipped with a main
boom a luffing fly jib. Luffing Flyjib If you want to lift a load very high up in the air, or very long horizontal above a tall building, it is good to be able
to luff the outer part of the boom. Very often the superlift are also used when using the flyjib, since the load gotwald the cranes are very large, and
8850 superlift can cranee those forces down.
