Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Here are a few pictures of my 1/16th Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift
The pallets are handmade and are based on the measurements I took at work of a CHEP blue pallet
The truck did not come with the beacon I ran the wires down the R/H rear support and the red blends in to make the black one look like a cable in flexible conduit
The rotating beacon is hard wired into the on/off switch which is next to the driver’s seat to make it look like one of the control levers
I need to get a driver figure for the truck

The robbe forklift is my favorite. Nice addition with the beacon. :)

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

that is a nice little ride, you have there

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Nice fork lift Brel:Ddo you have a vid of it in action and is that a Pistenking Beacon and if so what do you think about them?

Cheers Tracy

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

hi Tracy. no video at the moment and yes it is a pistenking beacon, the are a great little unit but a tad expensive at 38 Euros

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

:eek: 38 Euros! That's nuts for a little light unit like that. They are pretty neat though...I wonder if there's anything similar in the states? I had to settle for a strobe light w/ an amber lense.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I know, I must be nuts too because I have bought 5 of them now
I each for the Scania R620, Mercedes - Benz 1838ls, the Robbe FLT, a tracked loading shovel and my Tamiya Leopard 2A6 to replace the rather naff one that comes with the kit
I could have used a flashing orange LED to simulate a strobe type of beacon. But I liked the look of the pistenking rotating beacon.
I am now looking at fitting working head and tail lights to the truck as well, when I manage to get them sorted I will the shoot some video of the truck

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

no Mate, It is not ready to run, it is a kit made by Robbe that cost me about US$800 last year or about £450 UK for the kit and all of the add-ons and shipping
I got it from AFV Germany

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Wow I had not paid attention to the increase in price of these! I paid 650 back in '08.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

since I bought the truck they have dropped the price slightly

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

$800.00?! Its nice and I want a forklift for the Bud truck, but I'm not spending $800 for it. That's just way too high.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

head lights have been fitted I need to get a driver and fit some more lights at the front because the fork carraige block the head lights that are mounted on the fenders, also need to fit some tail lights

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I have found a driver figure for the FLT
from here http://verkerk.modelbouw-onlineshop....5c15df54325c96

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Very nice Brel, great job with the adding the details.

Does anyone have a source in the US for these Robbe units?

Thank you for posting,

Jim

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I don't know of anyone that carries them here. AFV Model is where I would get one.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I got mine from AFV, I tried the Robbe site but they kept declining my credit card so I went to AFV and paid via paypal

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

a short video of the FLT in action, the green crate has 800 gramms of wheel balancing weights in it the pallets weigh next to nothing, also the battery was going flat

truck is a Scania R620 and the trailer is a tamiya reefer built as a flatbed

click on picture to get the video (opens in a new tab)

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I bought a Small propane tank to fit on the back of the Robbe FLT and it is the dog's danglies as far as I am concerned, it is an excellent model on it's own

I know the tank should be a red oxide colour to comply with UK safety regs, but it looked so good that I have decide to leave it white for the time being

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

this fork truck is awesome! And for the price it seems to be one **** of a deal.
did I figure it correct at a little over 550.00 US dollars?

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

that is about right and then there is shipping to the States to add to the cost of the model

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I know that carson also manufactures a similar forklift, and is about $250 less shipping to the US. I know that Robbe makes good quality product, I don't know about carson though.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I now have both. The Robbe Unit is much more detailed and will hold up to more abuse. It's big downfall is it needs alot of gear reduction to operate better/easier. The Carson unit is nice but rather toy-like in some of it's components. You'll have just as much fun with either model though. Shame they don't make small enough units to fit into tamiya container trailers.

Propane tank looks killer Brel!

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

thanks, the tank is the wrong colour for the UK it should be a red oxide colour
I got it from the topic starter in this topic on the scale 4x4 RC forum

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

the cab is clipped together and is held onto the chassis by four screws two on either side of the truck

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Hey, I got one to, looks nice on the shelf, I should play more with it,built it two years ago and haven't touched it since,cost me close to $800 can. I made my propane tank out of plumbing fittings and stuffed it with battery's for the spot light.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I ordered one of these about 3 weeks ago from a local hobby shop and still waiting for it to arrive. I can't wait until I get it, it's heaps better then the Carson ones.

When you purchase one of these do they come with the radio or do you have to buy that separate?

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

540-MAN you have to buy them separately

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Just got my forklift today and started to try and put it together and found out the servo for the drive axle it has to be smaller then the steering one for it to fit in the small spot and also i have to get the battery box for it to. I wish i had of known this before i got home so now i have to go back to the hobby shop and get it. Luckly i have tomorrow off work.

I didnt think it would be this hard.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

the small servo is for the mast to tilt there should be a motor for the drive axle

here is a picture of the internals, before I changed the 40mhz FM reciever for a planet R6M

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Just question mate whats that red box along side the drive gear in the front, is that the speed controller and is it needed?

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

yes it is needed, because it is an esc to lift the forks up and then lower them down again
the esc for the drive motor is behind the motor
the steering servo is under the counter weight and the tilt servo is in the front next to the drive gears
the motor on the mast raises and lowers the forks and is powered by the esc next to the drive gears

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I just had another look this morning and I have that in the box as it comes with it but I need to get a speed controller for it and battery pack and smaller servo for the lifting. I wish the guys at the hoppy shop told me this as they are meant to be the agents for robbe in Perth.

Going back down there today to get it sorted out. I have never known something to be such a head case.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

the link shows what i used for the esc for the forks motor
http://www.afv-model.com/4711shop/pr...-Nr--8283.html

this link show the esc for the drive system
http://www.afv-model.com/4711shop/pr...--P--8417.html

here is a link showing what seized battery I used
http://www.afv-model.com/4711shop/pr...000--4552.html

the first picture is for the esc for the forks and the second picture is for the esc for the drive and the third picture shows the battery
the esc for the forks is just a on/off switch with no proportional control

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

I remember when these were released back in 2005 to go along with Robbe's RC Truck line. Then when people seen the price for such a little plastic (toy) alot of people backed away. Though as years passed it became the standard in the hobby as being the most popular and (only) choice for a fork-truck.

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

Has any one made a scale trailer where one of these forklifts sits on the back?

Re: Robbe, Linde H50 fork lift truck
 

you mean something like the one in the 1st picture or do you mean one like the one with the fork lift truck on the trailer in the 2nd picture
