[dark1rida]

Nice, hey does anyone know if they can be bought in Sydney or Perth, in Australia, if so, where?

[MrJezza31]

[bigdan45322]

what scale is it

[TheMegabelvin]

Nice! Can i buy a Heljan Crane at Belgium? (its a country)

[0081kc]

amazing crane of corse! but how are those trucks running around????

[Xantec]

@0081kc

beneath the road deck there is a metal guide wire, in the container of the trucks there is motor, on the front axle is a magnet that allows the truck to follow the guide wire.

[campainr]

the music makes the whole thing look like some sort of ballet!

[SouthwestChief]

@campainr

Ballet music yes, but it also hides the loud noise the motors make.

[craigcromack]

in england this costs £385 from eHattons

[diamond19640]

were did you get it from and how much for also were did you get the maersk containers from

[nuclearthreat545]

I want one so bad!

[christianlane117]

It May not be cost effictive but i think it would benifit me in the long run if i had one of these

[dankerthanclanker]

how much do they cost?

[matt7106]

last time I checked thery were somewhere between $500-$600.

[knightbob81]

it looks like the real thing in the dark with the lights

[imgfactory]

Well I think this is a 'must have' item.

[gingerkin]

i think the price might put you off though

[yak4abind]

Does anyone know how the trucks in the background are running around the container terminal

[DougTeg]

Take a look at the 'Faller car system'.

[JacobAndrewCastro]

Is it worth the money to buy one of these?

[DougTeg]

If you're into docks and container freight movement then this is great - and worth the cost. It's big so you need plenty of space to get the most out of it.

[45molkstreet]

how much are they in australia at the moment?, do you know, because i want to get back into my model train club and at the next meeting i would like to recomend them getting this crane

[bigtrainrocks]

where can you get this??????

[HentisD6569]

It looks very good I see Dyserth Road has one or two installed. They look really good on the videos from there as well. Bearing in mind at about 4:45 I think Health & Safety might have something to say about the speed of the lorries espcially going under a 40ft container at that speed!!! :)

[SteffanLlwyd]

Mental! Love it!

[jamescav0]

can it carry 40ft containers or is it 20ft.

[lolguy543]

can it be used as a british dock side crain

[DougTeg]

Why not. You may have to modify the writing on the crane...

Perhaps you can paint it and weather it a bit.

[lolguy543]

yeh it was just a query i plan but im not sure of building a large layout after i have built first layout if it is a sucess

[dimebag4lyfe]

could u use this on 00 scale or does it have to be H0 scale??

[DougTeg]

OO and HO use the same railway track so it is much the same. It could be used. It may not be at exact Ho scale anyway.

[dimebag4lyfe]

cheers

[graffitiandrew]

the lights are the best

[marshmallower]

Thanks for uploading this! The music is interesting, kinda sounds like disneyland music.

[ETAG231189]

this stuff is great!

they say it's easy to control with up to 3 cranes which is usefull, if you forget that these cranes cost around €550,00 a piece.

so having just one of them is allready quite something :P

[1MeanBean]

I've been a longshoreman for 3 years and I've never seen a transtainer with a spreader that rotates before. Seems like it wouldn't be very practical at a real terminal since it could knock down the 3 high stack of cans very easy if the operator was careless or if the spreader stopped too fast causing it to swing into the empty pile.

[dockertrigger]

We have morris cranes at work on the rail termanal and they rotate like this, and they must be over 15 years old now so it's no new design.

[PHUCHN]

Amazing!!!

[roadwolf2]

how did you get it to pick up the 40 footers

[nickwildwood]

It's a trick. It's not really grabbing the containers like the prototype. It uses electro magnets, so you can only pick up containers with weights in them. Still it is a pretty cool model and it's cool that it is DCC. I would want one except on my layout we use the other kind with the rubber wheels like our prototype, Santa Fe uses.

[leokimvideo]

this is some serious hobby gear, would surely fill in some rainy days..if only real life was so precise.

[kritzingerf]
