Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I hate the back-arrow/page back, costs me posts WAY too often!

Beat me to it Apfubar!

I only know of one source for hese, and thats Bruder as usual. They have it available with trucks, but not separately like their normal forklift. And with less space inside, it would probably be much harder to adapt to R/C.

BTW, for those who have done it, which forklift is the most economical to convert and have decent functionality. I know of the Very Expensive Robbe Linde H50 ($500+), the lesser Carson 'toy' Linde H40 (180 Euro), and then it drops down to the static Bruder Linde H30 (#2510) at $28 & Still (#2511) at $30, with the tail-rider type on the Bruder 'Mack Granite' logistics trucks at $130 for the green cab/white body (2820), and $80 for the all-yellow DHL (2819). Here is a pic of the Bruder tail-rider:

Finally there is the pallet-truck, a hand-operated manipulator, thpough some higher-priced ones are powered: (#62200, $30)

Opinions?

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

hmm A FLT like that would be hard to RC because the is not much bodywork to hide the electronics LOL

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I have replaced the Futaba S3003 standard steering servo with a Futaba S3305 servo because this one has a higher torque rating than the standard servo and it improves the steering on carpet, the S3003 servo struggled on carpet to give full lock,g I am also reworking the wiring inside the truck to get rid of the "Birds nest", also replacing the on/off speed controller with an ESC to give better control on the forks elevation/lowering

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

some pictures of the work so far

before the alterations to the wiring

after the alterations, the two black connectors on the left connect to the two ESC's , the white one in the middle connects to the orange flashing beacon and the black one on the right is the main battery connection

this is the type of ESC I am going to use for the forks lift/lower

http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...ps7daad570.jpg

I have replaced the head lights and re-wired then to tidy up the wires in the truck, also going to shorten the servo leads to the tilt and steering servo and to the ESC's as well

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

added afire extinguisher to the FLT

Nice work on the forklift any videos of it yet

thanks Justin Video uploading to you tube as I type this

Would you check your link, I am getting a message stating the video is private.

Thanks

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Sorry, I have altered the link to public now. don't know why it did that

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I have added a pair of extra headlights to the front of the cab using some brass tube and two 3mm white LED's and a resistor to reduce the voltage

Thanks Paul. there is more to follow in the fitting of reverse and brake lights, at a time when I get the time and parts to fit them

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

the video gone? says unavailable.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Stuff, I do not know what happened to the link as the video is still on youtube

try this link

the video was shot before I added the extra headlights to the front of the cab

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

You've done a great job with upgrades and amazing details Brel. I like my H40 but your 50 model is such a nice looking forklift. Very well done!:cool:

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

It's looking good I just finished building mine after a few months of owning it but I was just wondering if anybody is having the same problem as I am. When mine is running the cogs on the motor are very noisy is it because its too tight and I have to loosen it off abit I have put a ton of grease on it to try and stop it but it doesn't seem to. Could somebody help out to try and solve the problem?

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Thanks Mario :cool: :cool:

540-MAN, are you talking about the lift gear or the main drive
the lift gear on my H50 is quite loose, I used a sheet of paper between the worm drives and mountings on the mast to make sure that they would not bind up when I built it
as you can hear in the video the main drive and lift gears are very noisy and I don't think there is much that can be done to sort out the noise

http://youtu.be/3ExgVJAX6B0

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Hey Brel mine is roughly sounding the same as yours on the main drive and lifting gear but there is a guy in the club of ours that has one of these and I was looking at it the other day and his wasn't as noisy for some reason so I got to thinking that the gears drives might be to close together may have to be loosen off. I tried packing it with high volume grease but hasn't stopped it. It gets annoying after awhile.

Also how did you get so much tilt on yours because mine doesn't tilt that much?

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

540-man
as for the tilt on the mast, I broke the original Robbe servo horn set up by over loading it, so I replace it with a small servo arm and replaced the rod that screws into the clevis that fits onto the mast and kept adjusting it until I got it to what it is now

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

540-MAN, Here is a shot of the tilt servo showing what I did to replace the original Robbe servo horn

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Thanks Brel ill have to have a look at mine and see what I can do with it to make it to have better tilt.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

glad to help Mate, I had mine apart to take the picture of the tilt servo and rod and whilst I had it apart I moved the motor away from the gears slightly and used a piece of paper to space the gears before I re-tightened the screws and it seams to have reduced the racket the gears make slightly

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

this is a repost of part of this topic showing the state of the FLT at the moment

I decided to update the electronics in the FLT and fitted a Servonaut S22 ESC and a Servonaut MFX for the lift motor. The S22 has outputs for brake and reversing lights, which have also been fitted using 3mm LEDs and resistors
It has only taken me 5 years to fit the reversing and brake lights

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Awesome lift! 3d printed skid?

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Job well done getting all the electronics fitted.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

If you mean the blue thing on the forks, it is a hand made wooden pallet, I measured a Blue CHEP pallet at work and did a rough drawing on the orrientation of the blocks to make the pallet myself out of wood because they look better than a plastic one

here is a picture of an unpainted one on the forks of the truck

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

thank you my friend

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Do you have pics showing how you made the steering work? If I'm not mistaken isn't this a static Bruder model that you've converted to RC?

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

you are mistaken my friend about this Robbe Linde H50 fork lift truck being a Bruder conversion,

it is a full rc kit made by Robbe and not by Bruder, then after assembling the kit and painting some of the orange parts black, I added the electonics and swapped out the plastic steering axle for an alminium/aluminum one that I found on the internet

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Thanks for the info. Do they still offer this for sale? I've found a few on Ebay, but they're well over 300.ooUSD each

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

The one I've found, on Ebay, it's a Carson,
$281.6o USD PLUS $92.26 USD for shipping

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

The Robbe model is rarer than rocking horse poop

go for the carson one they are just as good

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Right on. If you ask me the bare wood looks great too.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I guess that the Robbe truck is more powerful? have read somewhere that the Carson lifts somthing like 0.2 kg, while the Robbe 1 kg. what's correct?)

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I don't know anything about the Carson truck, the Robbe truck will lift about 1.2 KG

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Alright, 1.2kg is very good. -The Carson have much lower capasatiy, so there is a huge difference between those trucks, even they look similar. Sadly the Robbe truck is no longer in production.
