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

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

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

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
