Great Machine and attachments! Im so jelous of it, looks fantastic. Have you thought about making a sissor grab, simular to the pipe lifting attachment, which will pick up square objects? In The Uk, sissor grabs are normally used to lifts packs of bricks up! Secondly, could you tell me how you went about removing the buckets, which were originaly fitted to both machines? Thanks Teeth

A sissor grab? Well, see anything you like... Dancing Dancing Dancing

Nice pics and dio Remko sure is one versatile piece of equipment a regular "Swiss Army Knife" type machine !

Chet


You've said it Chet!!

Here are some more photo's of my pet-project!!

How versatile can you actually make an excavator?

Well...

Boom from the Sennebogen ABI sheetpiler....



The boom needed some extra support to prevent it from toppeling over. Hence the extra cilinders.
The big 4-sheet press is to heavy btw, the boom is actually intended for the auger drill or single-sheet vibrator.



Without sheets and press...





The future, an anchoring system. This is the boom from the Roc 7 model from Joal. Unfortunately the R 954 C's stick is just to wide for this attachment, so another Himobo quickcoupler will be neded.





To ease up the workload and give the excavator something extra without changing the stick it also has a special attachment for 'hanging' parts.





The 'hanging' parts all together. Clamshell buckets, pine grapples, concrete bucket, vibrator unit, you name it! A strong heavy-duty lifting hook and a traverse (for lifting big bags for example) are also on the list.

Going on...

Gar-Bro concrete bucket (which is 1/40th scale btw)...



Heavy grapple from a Cat W345B MH...



Medium grapple from a Sennebogen 835M...



Small grapple from a Liebherr A 316...



Vibrator unit, although this doesn't work good, so I'll have to make a heavier jib for it.



Heavy clamshell bucket from a Liebherr A 954 B...



Small clamshell bucket #1 from a Liebherr A 914...



Small clamshell bucket #2 from a Liebherr A 904 C...

Last set of photo's.

My complete set of trenchboxes from KSM.



Also from KSM, new heavy crane mats.


In comparison with the Liebherr R 924 Compact...



Detail...



Speaking of the R 924 Compact. A bucket is only a bucket, and although Brian Blackman's buckets for the Liebherr A 314 series fit the stick, I wanted something else.

Well, here we go!

With sorting grab from the Liebherr A 904 C from NZG...







The quickcoupler from the Mecalac 714MW also fits the model very nicely.

Very wide bucket...



Small bucket...



The palletforks...

Remko,

I'm curious, what makes you think the Gar-Bro concrete bucket is really 1:40 scale?

The measurements. I printed the spec sheet from their website, and used a special ruler to see what model it was exactly, as this is not mentioned on the box. The dimensions I got were to big for even the largest version, at least in 1/50th scale. But when converting it to 1/40th scale it was almost perfect. Hence, the model is, as far as I have calculated it, 1/40th scale. If anybody has prove otherwise, I'm interested in your arguments and calculations!! Think

Remko,

I love following this post! I think you won the contest for the most attachments for any piece of construction equipment! I really like the sheet pile driver.

Thanks Mark, this model really has become my pet project. In the future I will make a Hydraulic adjustable boom for a R 954 C, but this will have to wait. I am now looking forward to the payment request for my quickcouplers. I have ordered 5 of the 8/8 mm couplers, and 15 of the 9,5/9,5 mm couplers. Unfortunately they will not be available until July... But when I get them this would be a cool site! I'm now looking in making a couple of 'tool-boxes' for all the attachments.

I've always wanted a very weird machine, with amazing attachments. The ABI leader looks weird, but look at this, it's an older type Komatsu with a special leader and a diesel hammer for driving piles. Best of all, the excavator is sitting on a railcar!!



Anyway, I was just having some fun with the jib parts of my Liebherr LTM 1200-5.1. Looks pretty weird...













I don't know yet what it will be used for, if at all. I have something in mind, but don't know if this will work out.

The excavator will also get a special lifting stick like this:



And perhaps something like this:

Remko,

I think you have way too many Liebherr machines and attachments, and you should give a few of them to a poor fella in Japan who only has access to Japanese makers! Wink

But seriously, the things you do with your models are out of this world. Nice going!

Cheers,
Craig

Well Craig, if you can arrange for a couple nice Kobelco models in 1/50th, preferably that beautiful pink Nabekai demo excavator, we'll see what we can do!! Any more photo's of that machine? Looks like it's based on a crawler crane.

Like the machine in Craig's photo you mean? Well, not this one, but my Case CX 800 demo model will receive such a boom. A man basket, all in the works my friend! And a lot more cool stuff too! Shhh Shhh
