Re: Potain Crane Build
here's a link explaining it somewhat http://173.201.47.108/showthread.php...t=posting+pics
I use PB and use the copy/paste method IOW once loaded to PB you will be given 4 codes for the pic . you want the IMG code . click on it and in your toolbar under edit , choose copy . minimize PB and start your post then when you want to paste your pic , edit-past from your tool bar . you must go back and forth between PB and your post for each pic . looking forward to seeing your crane IHSteve

Re: Potain Crane Build
Here is the start of my crane build thread.
To start with I am building a Potain IGO 70 self erecting crane. If fully built it would be 7-1/2' Tall and 8' jib. It will have a electro magnet hook atachment. that will hopefully lift sea containers Goto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zUpryfERLM for You Tube video of crane. Paul H. Hanson

Re: Potain Crane Build
Very nicely built.. looks like you should be able to have a lot of load and not have any issues it all with turning the crane.

Re: Potain Crane Build
Wow! First class engineering and craftsmanship from the very start! That video must be a real help in designing your model, huh? Very interesting crane. cant wait to see progress.
Where did you get your motor-gearhead units? They look like the ones I'm using in my crane. I got all of mine used from a friend who dumpster dived them for me. I'd sure like to know where to get nice new ones. Dan |

Yes the video helps allot, also there are Potain spec. sheets online in PDF with a few over all dimensions that let you blow up to actual model size to get dimension. I got the gear motor from Battery Space:http://www.batteryspace.com/dcmotors.aspx Paul H. Hanson
