The most amazing thing of these unloading cranes is the fact that the operator rode the bucket. The control cab of the whole enormous machine was on the bucket. Working with such a machine would have felt like taming a riding a diplodocus.

Hello, great video! I'm a HO scale model railroader and I am working on building a 3D model of the Hullet. Would love to see more detail on what makes the buckets open? Upon watching the video, it looks like the chains are not under tension when the buckets are opening, so what is making them open?

That is a very good question, I always wondered what made them open myself, and I too want to build a hullet for a HO set-up, I'm going to find out for us both and I'll report back, I live in Cleveland, about 3 miles from where these are laying in the weeds, well what's left of them anyways😢

IM so angry that they tore these down and didnt leave ONE still operating for future generations to see. Now they are sat rusting away on Whiskey Island OH!! They PROMISED to get one back together and running YEARS ago.............never trust concellors or politicians!

This is a really lovely video of this engine and a novel way of making the piston rods and porting valves Wonderfull animation ...love it

Great animation. Unity? I'm trying to model the entire machine and railroad in Blender. What were your resources. Your detail is amazing!

Brilliant! Why did they bother with the sideways movement? Or could the bucket open and close at any lateral position?

The hold of an ore freighter is one long contiguous area. The hatches that the loader drops through is relatively narrow. The loader would drop through the opening and swivel 90 degrees and extend to the side in order to get the ore that wasn’t directly beneath the hatch opening.
