HIAB X-HIPRO 1058 loader crane

Here's a picture of how I placed the ptfe tape (those brown pads on the brass angles).
The second picture is just a closeup of the welds.

I have continued welding parts permanently together, there's still lots of seams to weld

Wow, you are doing very well with your Lampert welder. I picked up an Orion welder last year. No time for the models but fixed some of my wife's cheap thin steel lawn ornaments.

Welds are looking perfect

Amazing work Hemi!

How will you sequence the hydraulics to extend in the correct order? Will you make a series of sequencing valves?

I'm trying to go without any sequencing valves, and hope that the order the oil goes to cylinders, will extend them starting from the first/largest extension.
The plumbing is going to be difficult enough already in this way

If it does decide it needs help to sequence the segments correctly, you could probably make it work some little plates with a 'metered orifice' installed at hose connections, or making a 'calibrated crimp' in a hard line.

That's some pretty micro welding. I wish i were that good at full size.

[Hemi1966]

I got rest of the cylinder brackets welded in place

I test fitted the crane to my old Tamiya based dump truck to see how it fits
One thing for sure, it's going to need some serious support legs to keep the truck upright

[thercfreak2012]

@Hemi1966 Fit it to that truck just remove the dump body and put a flatbed body on it

[thercfreak2012]

Put that on that just remove the dump body and put a flatbed on it

Work of art, impressive!!

[Wombii]

Work of art indeed. Looking forward to the day we can see a very long video of it working.

[Hemi1966]

Thanks guys

Here's the start of the support legs. (cross section of it)

[Hemi1966]

I've been machining some smaller parts for the extension cylinders. (The squares on the paper are 5x5 mm.)

[Hemi1966]

I got all the hard lines for the extension cylinders done.

Did you say you were going to use a sequencing valve, or that you didn't plan on it? Without a sequencing valve, whichever section moves the easiest is gong to be the section that moves first. Path of least resistance and all that.

I don't think there's room for sequencing valves. They should be located on the boom, or other wise I would need a ton of more tubing. I can adjust the movement sensitivity on each segment with a nylon set screws though. They are meant to adjust the side play of the segments. Will just have to wait and see how is going to work.

[Hemi1966]

This is going to be the chassis for the crane

Awesome work, as usual, Ari!
