Re: Smith 40
Very nice model! The brass work is superb. I agree a barge would make it look real but where would you keep it?

Re: Smith 40
That build came out very professorial looking and right scale speed on it's operation. Do u have any plans to rc the skid steer under the crane?

I meant on the barge, for the real, 1:1 machine, but I suppose both model and real crane would not be much different!

Re: Smith 40
@rcguyfarms, I don't have RC plans for the Skid steer, I would not even know where I should start. It's to little.
@Espeefan, It's safer than when the crane were mounted on his undercarriage. You don't even notice when you walked on deck and the crane had a full load. Unlike the floating crane which I now driven on, this one tipped much more with full load and still it's very safe. By the way, it's my next project.

Re: Smith 40
What Espeefan said. Your boom is much like mine, except it's clean and straight.

Re: Smith 40
We use them (we have two of this type of cranes) for load en unloading from sea going vessels. That could be all like Coal & Minerals, Agriculture, scrap, ect. In fact all dry bulk cargo.
Capacity is 36 tons from 13 meter to 43 meter (42 to 141 feet) The 'red box' is indeed the operators cab, it's about 39m (127 feet) above deck. Loading scrap. |

Re: Smith 40
Wow, that must be an interesting sensation, having the cab move with the boom + being on water! Cheer's, Neil.

Re: Smith 40
That is a marvelous piece of modelling! Without the wall behind it, you'd think it was the 1:1. Our company has put a few pedestal hydraulic clams on barges on the Ohio River, but nothing that is close in size to this unit. Would like to see a video of it in operation.
Great job! Ken

Re: Smith 40
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words.
A link to a video of the 'Marcor 4' at the Port of Rotterdam. (Netherlands) It's not so spectacular, at that time they working on a separation between two kinds of type of minerals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIFap5bbz1g&noredirect=1 |

Re: Smith 40
Woah your brass work is amazing, and you have a great eye for detail. I am curious though, how is the drive line for the drums set up and how are they powered? I'm building a yarder with lots of cables and rigging and will need some help figuring everything out haha. Thanks
