Hi Tracy.

Thanks for asking.

I.m working on the unit for some improvement right now, and i am going to make more photos. This KH is a prototype that i put together in a hurry, it worked so i put some paint on it and went to Cabin Fewer.
The Trailer behind the globe is next project. it's suppose to go behind a four axle truck a (Tridem). Im traveling for work right now, i will post picture as soon i am back.

Bo - really kool engineering. Even backs up awesome. Hats off to ya.

Very cool and unique build. Love how cutting the ugly sleeper off of a King Hauler and slipping some floats under the front fenders changes the look of those trucks so drastically.

Can't keep my self in order to follow a build instruction :cop: And i love challenges :D I got myself an easy drive :eek:

[Howie]

Where did you get the beam? Or did you make it?

[Bo Wallen]

Where did you get the beam? Or did you make it?
Hi Howie.

I make the beams from usually 1/4 in MDF, depending on type of beam or box girder. Some of them i make from hardwood. The Beam on this is MDF.

That's a very creative and economical way of doing it, get thinking!

Also, in case anybody is wondering, MDF = medium density fiberboard.

I like your setup. It looks realistic. How many cups of coffee did it take to calculate the pivot points.

Not even half a cup of coffee . Got the idea in my head, no time to waste.
Grab the material cut and drill, bolt it on and try it. I was very surprised when i found out it was working. I got so occupied so when i looked up a saw half a cup coffee still on the bench........ice-cold. :eek: I was expecting a lot more trail and error, Some days are better than others. :)

[Bo Wallen]

Thank You All for checking in here. Hope you find it OK.
I would like if you leave comments and ideas, and Questions.

Definitely can use a bridge or two in the park Bo. There's a couple places I wanted to run road but had to avoid due to the large tree roots. A low level bridge fixes that perfectly! .:cool:
I'll take some measurements and some pics....... Once the #*^{ snow melts that is.:mad::(. What a weird spring. not liking it.:cop:

So, when are you going to build the 4000 Manitowoc to set your beams and load/unload your trailer?

[Bo Wallen]

So, when are you going to build the 4000 Manitowoc to set your beams and load/unload your trailer?

Good Idea Claus.

Wish i got more time to build a crane. Just got 30 pair of low profile wheels delivered. Still waiting for more axles. (Trailer for the MB.) in the works.
I'm hoping Kerst and Izzy can provide load/unload service at some event.:D
Anybody else building Cranes out there ? And i hope to see more BeamHauler Builds going.
The only crane i have is not to Tamiya scale.

I would hope to have the boom operational for indy. Slow going at this point though. A cold workshop has not helped either.

[TRUCKMAKER]

Hey Bo this was from a couple years ago, I realy need to stop building other stuff and go back and update this with new bunks and finish the trailer steering.

Lets BEAM UP :lol:

[Bo Wallen]

I feel with You...a cold workshop is no fun Let the summer come along.
Could be really cool to have your crane do some loading and unloading.
Hope i can make it to Indy in the fall.

[TRUCKMAKER]

Thanks Bo and bigford its been a fun build and it's not done yet!

[bigford]

will the rear steer?

[TRUCKMAKER]

The front axle on the trailer will steer, l was hoping it would self steer but I missed on the caster so I might just put a servo on it.

[Claus]

Bo,

I know you mentioned building another beam hauler, have you considered adding a jo-dog?

Last night a jo-dog was built...........however it did not track very well so i changed a bunch and made a bo-dog :lol:
I wanted the Globe to pull something, and it needs to track very well.
Today it was testing-time in the sun. Surprise it works. So now i go back to shop and put lipstick and fancy parts on it.

Chrome Out Black In..........Yes i need to do that..........Sorry I'm going Black more and more Chrome goes swimming in the chlorine bath for a week.

[TRUCKMAKER]

Why a chlorine bath?

[Bo Wallen]

Why a chlorine bath?
Works so well. Got a gallon tub with lid filled wit the good sauce a mesh basket inside, put the stuff in and soak, lift up rinse and done.

[FabOne]

Easy-Off oven cleaner does it in 5 minutes.

[TRUCKMAKER]

Works so well. Got a gallon tub with lid filled wit the good sauce a mesh basket inside, put the stuff in and soak, lift up rinse and done.

I was curious because I thought chlorine was nasty stuff straight up. I used SuperClean, it comes in a purple container, I bought a gallon of it at Menards for $7 dollars and change. Doesn't take long to get the chrome off, never paid close attention to time since I throw the parts in a plastic container cover them with the stuff and go back to working in the shop until I'm ready to paint.
I did all the chrome parts on my 6 x 6 quarry dump that way.

[Bo Wallen]

Easy-Off oven cleaner does it in 5 minutes.

Yes it's fast. Cons for me was. Expensive little messy and one time use. Chlorine in a good tub with screw lid last 40-50 soaks. and you don't need to work the parts directly,
i forgot parts in the soak for a month, not a problem. So many ways to do things.:)

Ha I should have thought of that! The only thing I could think of was for locking the steering in the trailer section for backing, so that being said where are your push and pull tractors? :bounce::bounce: :cop:

Ha I should have thought of that! The only thing I could think of was for locking the steering in the trailer section for backing, so that being said where are your push and pull tractors? :bounce::bounce: :cop:

TaDa.....Mystery solved.....No need locking Bo-Dog :eek: Need all articulation i can get for backing :lol:
Ta Puller Tractors are not so far away.........

Those tires are a must have for a dump truck, looking good Bo!

[Bo Wallen]

Those tires are a must have for a dump truck, looking good Bo!

Thanks Claus.
Yes so far the best in test......I got them on the KH Beam Hauler. Good Traction and the best part is they don't pick up so much rocks in between the wheels.
They also have the same outer radius as RC4WD's Supervide's Important when i install 10x10. on the KH BH. and that's coming this year ;o)

[Bo Wallen]

Busy Days Ahead ! Delivery Time ;o) Shorty MB Hauling Tires & Wheels from Port.

Hey it crossed my mind a few times The Lego Crane got 18 motors 10.6 feet tall so it would work even if the scale is 1:48

[Cossett]

Thats one bueaty there, and a impressive amount of wheels,
So that brings me to the next question when are you going to build a crane ?

Cheers Tracy

Another Lego hoarder love it,
But thinking something a bit smaller around 6x6 or 8x8 chassis based off a 1/10 moded kit or 1/14

[Bo Wallen]

How long ago did you build the crane?

1991 was the crane build and a major overhaul / upgrade was done 1999 before the big World tour 1999-2000. My son is now 28 and daughter is 25. Time goes fast when you have fun :lol:

Thanks for asking. Yes i will make some Picture this weekend of the underside of the KH Beam Hauler. It's not much secrets under there :)

Kent. I've ben lazy, have not put all the new axles on this one yet........two axle drive twin steer works quite well. The frame looks like a swiss cheese and need to be replaced at some point. The frame rails was used on something else before this truck, at the time i didn't have long enough rails so......
I can share a secret with you.........I'm Building a second copy of this truck with all the bling and exclude all the mistakes in the first one. To much time/work to upgrade the first one......It's going to retire when the new one is ready.
Oops ! i forgot to say A build Documentation is under way for the KH Beam Hauler the II

More picture to come. :)

[Lil Giants]

WOW! how much weight did you put on it to break an axle? Or is the plastic just getting old & brittle?

In all my yrs I've never broken an axle on any trls... I used to haul my nephews around the house on a flatbed trl when they were 8 - 10 yo weighing about 70lbs.

I was thinking the same thing, what are you making beams out of these days? :jaw:

[Bo Wallen]

Joe. Kent. Plastic is a strange thing. I've had other things break also for no reason at all. The surface in the break area is like it was polished very shiny and good looking accept for two tiny places where it looks different and roughed. I know this parts are injector molded in one shot. So i asked a guy that works in a company that do injector molding, The explanation he gave me was if the molding/pump get a sudden stop during the process this thing can happen, Plastic looks fine but the parts change temperature during the stop and don't fuse together. And yes it's heavy beams :D and it's going to be heavier soon. and longer too. :cool:
