Yeah, its really pretty! :)

Very interesting method for anchoring tie-downs. Never seen that before. Your idea or is that method actually used on trucks where you live?

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

I don't know how common this method is, but the truck that I've been using as a reference have it, so I decided to use it.

Here are the 3d printed mud guards.
I also got back working with the support legs. I was first thinking that I use two separate cylinders for the two sections,
but now I'm considering one cylinder with steel wires and pulleys. Both options are hard to make due the lack of room inside the square tubing.

I’m sure you can figure it out. Nothing have stopped you so far :)

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

Here's what I have got done with the support legs. The first picture shows the insides of the mechanism. The push and pull wires and the hydraulic tubing are not shown.

Looks great, always a pleasure to watch your work.

Do you hone the cylinderpipe yourself?

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

I have never felt the need to hone the cylinders, the pipe I've been using has very smooth surface, it's almost like a mirror finish.

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

congratulations, I love your work, in the future, I hope to build a similar crane

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

Excellent, I'd love to see more cranes :D

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

I soldered the support leg cylinders together today:)

Wow!! Blown away by your work Sir... Those tiny welds done by the jewelers welder are perfect for this scale, just perfect and your design and machine skills are inspiring. Thanks for posting this masterpiece!!

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

How is the progress with this great project?

Re: HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane
 

It's been idle for a some time, but I hope that I get the inspiration back soon :)
