Self Erecting Mobile Tower Crane by Lego

[@BeaverBaister]

I appreciate you not editing out the failure. Really shows the consequences of any mistakes in real-world applications

[@TheBrickWallTeam]

So true, real world, glad I only deal with Lego.

[@nickryan3417]

I think it also shows a weakness of lego - quite hard to include triangles in such things for strength. Amazing design and video of course.

[@REDxFROG]

@@nickryan3417 I think it fell because the strings torn apart and caused a rebound. Plus the stacked parts are too loosely connected

[@nickryan3417]

@@REDxFROG Very true. I should have been clearer, I was noting that the weakness of lego in general is the difficulty in including triangles for strength and therefore things have to be somewhat over-engineered as a result. The break was the pegs not being strong enough to hold the stacked parts together given what happened. If I have enough suitable lego myself I'd try to make some parts of this amazing build just to see if I could!

@Oscar Vandenbogaert yes, self errecting cranes are in fact used in real life :)

[@largol33t1]

@Oscar Vandenbogaert yes, in fact you can look up videos on how boom cranes are built. The methods used are exactly the same as the model.

[@erzbengelraziel5490]

But the real systems don’t lift the while crane when adding new segments they only lift the top then pick up the new segment and then put it in the gap between the top and the rest. Still a very cool system with lego.

[@EweChewBrrr01]

That is amazing. It's a nice change of scenery from looking at the golf course background. :P I loved also how you edited the fail. It was cool and funny to see that. I did say an audible "Oh no" when it fell. I'm assuming the counterweight is what caused it to fall backwards.

[@TheBrickWallTeam]

Great condition. Yes, the counterweight and poor hook design. The chain was too big for the hook. After the modification and additional crane operator training the process was und3r control. Now I do appreciate crane operator' s skill level and will never stay under the load. Thank you for your support.

[@propnotch3466]

This is just awesome. I looked over at my bucket wheel excavator (the set) which took me 7+ hours to build and that gave me infinite respect for you. Keep up the good work as always, and continue to amaze me!

Truly one of the most impressive Lego creations this Lego nut has ever seen. Kudos

[@pauldeddens5349]

I love large cranes, especially this guy that builds itself I loved the use of modular pieces to interconnect them, though I could already see their loose connection causing a failure Im sure it would have tipped regardless, but it would've stayed in one piece for the most part

[@TheBrickWallTeam]

Thank you for the comment It is about crane operator experience. The first try did not end well.

I wonder, if a real crane were doing a lift like that and the chain broke, would it topple like that? I mean, I know real cranes are secured with more than a tiny little peg on each corner, but weight shifts can do amazing things

[@TheBrickWallTeam]

@@thomasvlaskampiii6850 You are so to the point, the real crane will have super challenges with this design, but then this Lego crane and we can dream BIG and build anything we want...

[@hamjudo]

Amazing! How much of the mechanism works for disassembly and prepping the tower crane for the next job?

[@TheBrickWallTeam]

Excellent question, the crane can disassemble itself. It does it in reverse, First - hold the bottom section with yellow grabbers, second- use pins in the lift mechanism and insert them into the second section, third - raise the tower until it detached from the first section, 4- remove the first section out, 5- lower the tower and continue.... Unfortunately I did not film the disassemble process , it will make video too long. great question. thank you.

I FINALLY tracked down and bought (and finished!) the 7905 City Tower Crane set, and immediately became dissatisfied with the single point of motion on the lift and no motorization. So now I have the Rough Terrain and Mobile Cranes, and after building both of them, the project will be a total redesign to get the boom traveler moving, and get power on all three axes of the 7905. YOU, Sir, are an inspiration to this tired old 68-year-old man. Thank you.

Why did the crane collapsed ? Cause : if you see at 2:36 the front chain is not secured properly , but the back one is CASE CLOSED

[@TheBrickWallTeam]

One answer is the crane operator was not trained properly. The start of the lift was too fast and resulted in the big load swing, the chain went off and the tower frame bounced back. and collapsed
