Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
The cab is mounted to the frame
It turned out to be easier than I expected, I just had to make a bracket so that the cab mounts right to the stock bumper mount on the knight hauler frame. Last edited by Krewmember; 11-24-2017 at 10:45 PM. |

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
Just a quick update. I'm to the point where I can start designing the mechanical parts of the crane, which is good I guess
Still a lot of body work to do, but after I get the crane working. I need to start getting more pictures when I'm building Shawn Last edited by Krewmember; 11-24-2017 at 08:40 PM. |

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
Thats an awesome looking crane truck! It looks like body work is coming together fairly quickly.
Any plans yet how you're going to do the crane part? |

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
Thanks.
Well, it took me awhile to get this project started. The hardest part was probably deciding what I wanted to do for my first build Quote:
I have a few ideas. For boom I'm going to use brass, which means I have to make up a jig of some sort to keep things square. As for the hoist, lift and drag winches i will use gear motors. But I will have to get my lathe running before I can start working on things like the cable drums, pulleys or the swing ring. |

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
Hi Krewmember I have been designing bits of my truck the boom hers a picture . It's laser cut steel that I will weld together . Each section is scale 20 feet long I will make it so you can add or remove the centre sections they will bolt together . I'm getting a KH in June then I can start the truck part . Mike

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
That boom is really impressive. The laser cut steel is a great idea.
I will probably still be using brass for the boom, do to the fact that I have no welder. I can't wait to see the rest your project. BTW what crane do you plan on building? Bucyrus? American? Bantam Shawn |

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
I ran across this while looking for extra details to make for my crane hauler, they've got a few other bucyrus erie machines that may help out, each machine goes on to a page with more pics.

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
Bucyrus ! I saw one in a quarry 4-5 years ago and decided to build one then but had no clue about rc trucks until 3 years ago and a eureka lite went of in my head . I also found the operators manual which has a few drawings and measurements . I'm going to make the rest out of brass cabs etc . Mike

Thank you. And yes my original plan was to mill down a block of aluminium, but I no longer have access to a milling machine. I would however be able to use aluminium flat bar and plate. BUT I would have use epoxy as I do not have access to a tig welder. Edit: or maybe brazing Shawn Last edited by Krewmember; 09-03-2016 at 11:21 AM. |

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
This project has been the back burner sense my last post. Again
But a couple of days ago I finally pulled it off the shelf and did some detail work mostly on the crane carrier but. I did add sliding doors and rivets to the back of the crane as well. As for the carrier, I added a battery box and the fuel tank. And some trim to the cab as well as a opening door. I'm still having trouble deciding the best way to approach the mechanical parts of this project, and to make things harder my little craftsman lathe is still not running do to a missing drive pulley which for the life of me I cannot find for sale anywhere Shawn |
