Re: KH Beam Hauler
So the electronic control box on the lathe exploded.........So winch drum has to wait a bit. Onward with the next step.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
A huge terminal forklift looks like so much fun to play with! Especially one as nice as this. I think the cab is about the right size compared to the wheel size, but on those I've seen the cab is mounted a bit further back, behind the front wheels instead of over them. That difference might give the illusion of a longer wheelbase and smaller cab, maybe?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
You're spot on Wombii. I'll do a few more fitting today, to see where it goes. Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
I had to make a static load test, 6 kilos 2 inch in front of drive axle center. that gives zero kilos on the steer axle, with no counterweight on the rear part.
[IMG]IMG_3478 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG] And placed the cab further back looks like a splendid idea Wombii. Sometimes you get lost in your own thinking......... I pulled my brain together this morning and went for it. [IMG]IMG_3481 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG] By the way, I wanna lift 12.66 Kilos when all is done........should be 35 metric ton. Oh! well carry on with next step....... |

Re: KH Beam Hauler
That's a heck of an upgrade!
The cab might be a little small, hard to tell without a truck or a figure around. It might like the bottom of the door lowered a bit more I can't wait to see what this turns into!

[IMG]IMG_3492 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG] Thanks for your input Frizzen. Yes, the cab is little small, not sure if I'm changing or not. Went to Tractor Supply today, And this Mack fell in my arms.......Had to save it from some kid...... That cab on the crane part is looking quite OK, Just to narrow for Forky. But the shape from the side, I like [IMG]IMG_3491 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG] |

Re: KH Beam Hauler
I like the ford tractor cab, it reminds me of a control tower, some aircraft tugs, and a few fire engines from the 70s. But I was trying to scale it off a big Hyster at work, i've never been around the container handlers. I definately wasn't criticizing, it looks cool.
Nice score on the crane, i didn't know TSC had those back in yet

The size of the cab is bugging me a bit. but this one needs that Ford Cab i think. Next one is a different story. The Crane has broken down already I'm a curious guy, I'm thinking I'll put tracks under the crane, and use the Mack cab for a service truck. But that's down the road. Forky first. |

Re: KH Beam Hauler
The steering is now done. Works perfectly.
