Product Description

This crane is the type used by logging trucks and referred to as a self loader, as they simply pull up to a fallen stack of logs and load themselves. There are numerous operation features with this piece that are delicate, but with care can be assembled to move The seat back can be glued in either the up or down position. The jack stands will drop or stay up if leaned in. The crane swivels 360 degrees on it's base. The crane raises, lowers and folds with operational hydrualic cylinders. The grapple itself can open, swing side to side or up back n forth as well as swivel to some degree. PLEASE refer to the pictures in this listing for assembly reference. Also, I have included small 1 millimeter pin material for all the joints, but I strongly recommend you use wire, brass or styrene rod for the strength....as this material is fragile and will break if stressed in the slightest. I also have hydraulic lines on the top of the booms. Suggestion is you take thin hollow wire and 'connect' them for realism. Yes, check my store, as I do offer a complete line of headache racks appropriate for this piece, as well as numerous types of logging truck bunk setups.
