CC9 Crane Description --------------------- Builder: Jacool Total parts: 112 Approximate Building Time: 3 Hours Maximum Weight lifted: 20 lbs. (20 lb dumbell) Time: 3 minutes 26 secs Description ----------- I built this crane on the concept of cranes that unload containers from ships. They glide along rails atop a rigid structure. So my crane is designed to lift from between two level objects. It is a basic tank style structure with a hole in the bottom. This hole allows the sting to pass through the center of the vehicle resulting in a balenced load. The lifting time is slow in comparison to the horizontal movement. The maximum load I managed to lift was a twenty (20) pound dumbell. Sadly I could find nothing heavier to test in the time I had left. :( I'm overall pleased with my efforts and look forward to the next Community Contest. The crane lifts the load one foot in the air moves one foot horizontally and places the load on a surface that is one foot high. The total time is 3 minutes and 26 secs. Jacool
