TC42 Construction Crane (PLEASE IF YOU HAVE A BETTER NAME TELL ME) Hello all, I have been working on a new experiemental vehicle that actually might work in beam. Here is the TC42 Construction Crane. This vehicle is currently 77.2m tall, 118m in length and weighs ~80 tons (Not final weight). It has a working rotational swivel joint and has a high possibility of being able to lift things. The jib of the crane can withstand ~40 tons of force on top of it, therefore I expect it to be able to lift around the same weight for the end product. I created the whole model and Jbeam from scratch, aside from the swivel point Jbeam which was taken from the Phoulkan CIWS (Will ask permission before releasing). Progress: Jbeam: 85% Modelling: 90% Texturing: 60%Functions: 80% What to work on: - 360 degree rotational swivel - Textures -Wall Supports Pictures: Wigeon Comparison (Bottom right of crane base) VIDEOS HAVE BEEN LINKED DOWN THERE SOMEWHERE Anyways, thank you or something, hope this get's finished. -CRGZ
It would be fun if it has a magnet that can pick up cars --- Post updated --- Or in the top put more things, a magnet, stuff that crushes cars the scissors thing... More
New updates on the crane: Added: - Working Hook - Hook Rails - Ballast 1 & 2 - Support Base - Working Beacon - Cemented Cylinder Prop Pictures: All I need to finish are the textures and base swivel, maybe add more props, though it works.
40 tons for the jib seems a bit excessive, I worked with tower cranes before, the max load at jib end is usually between 1 and 1.5 tons. And that was for an 50 meter jib.
hmm, well thank you for your input, but since it's a game, I guess the player base won't mind a few extra lifting capabilities.
At the end of the jib, farthest from the base. Of course there are stronger and weaker tower cranes, too, there are smaller ones with 1t total capacity.
Ah shit another dead dev... Anyway yea the pipes were from this mod, have a look at it, pretty sure it's heavier than a D series
