    CraneInsane: Turns every part in KSP to a single LTM 1120-4.1 mobile crane, complete with animated luffing, telescopic boom, moving wheels, opening doors, slewing, outriggers, and collapsing!

    Yeah. The moon weighs so much they need to use exponents to express its mass!

    Not even the largest land based crane in the world - the AL.SK 10,000, built by the British company ALE - could lift the Moon.

    How am I supposed to save a spacecraft with a Lego crawler crane I made?! It can only lift 88 grams! I guess I failed. I'll just play with my Legos until the ship crashes.

    This is my mini Lego crawler crane. The reason it is so small is because it started out as a medium sized excavator (And I can switch it between crane and excavator in a minute or 2), and because I don't have bigger tracks. I am also working on a load chart for it, so I know how much I can lift in different configurations. The load chart is still a work in progress, and I just thought I might share this with you.

    I used fishing wire as cable for the hoist and luffing winches, and the rear is hollow and filled with BBs as counterweight. The only problem is that if it falls over and breaks, I have a LOT of BBs to clean up. Sorry the photos are so bad, but I used the built in camera on the laptop I am on and not my iPod touch because I didn't have a cord with me to sync the files.

    Did you mean unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine, @Dr. Kerbal? Or something else I don't understand? BONUS QUESTION! Who can tell me what dihydrogen monoxide is first WITHOUT looking it up? Who knows what trinitrotoluene is WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP?
  8. Ben J. Kerman
    If it is possible, in the near future, you could you make axis action group fields for the winches that can work with the Breaking Ground DLC KAL-1000 controller? It would help tremendously with building cranes, especially the one shown below. As you may or may not know (Most likely not! ) , I am one of the only Kerbals to make somewhat accurate construction equipment replicas in Kerbal Space Program. Check out my YouTube channel for more.

    Does anyone here know who made Kerbal Attachment System?
  10. Ben J. Kerman
    No, I'm sorry. I'm thinking... @OrdinaryKerman?

    @Starhelperdude I didn't see anything in the quote box, but I assume you are either talking about Liebherr or KerbalKran. I know Kran sounds a little more like "Krah-n". If you are talking about the pronunciation of Liebherr, in every Liebherr YouTube video where the narrator had a German, English, or other European accent, they said "Leeb-Hair". However, in the videos where the narrator was American, they said "Lee-Ber" or "Lee-Bear". I pronounce it "Leeb-Hair" because that is the way they pronounce it, and you would want other people to pronounce your last name the way you say it, right? Soup is one of my favorite foods, along with tacos, rice, olives, pickles, pretzels, and hamburgers. Even more random than duty-cycle crawler cranes.
  12. Ben J. Kerman
    Wow, really?
  13. Ben J. Kerman
    What? Are you talking about a helicopter, or an actual, land (Or sea) based crane? I'm not saying I don't like helicopters though, especially the Sikorsky skycrane (It is my 2 favorite things in one- Cranes, and aircraft).

      The things on the photo include the Kerbjet 45, Kiebherr KTM 1120-4.1, Kiebherr KTM 1300-6.1, Kiebherr KRT 1090-2.1, KerbalKran Industries GKR-978B, Perseverance rover, Kania R235 tractor-trailer, the KT50L Kerbal lift (Manlift, sometimes called a boom lift or cherrypicker), and that vehicle in the background to the right is my KerbaLift KFL 300E Forklift. It wasn't really supposed to be there.

    Those look really cool, but I think I am still the only one to make replicas of certain, real life, pieces of construction equipment. Again, if there is someone else, please tell me. Thanks for the link though, @kerbiloid! Sorry if I seem like I am bragging, but I don't really do that. But, if you want real life construction equipment and/or cranes, I'm the Kerbal to go to! I need to upload more stuff to my KerbalX account. By the way, to use my cranes you must have both DLCs, KAS, and tweakscale. You also might want to go to the "Post your custom flags" thread to make the flags on the crane right.

    Raupenkran.

    Did you like my videos? And the Liebherr videos? The music from the video about the Liebherr LTM 1120-4.1 all terrain mobile crane is actually my favorite song. Does anybody know what song that is? That K 556 loader might not be really realistic, built I built it from memory without looking at a picture of a real Liebherr L 556 loader. I'd say it's pretty good for just that though. Also, I think I am one of the only Kerbals who makes replicas of real life construction equipment in KSP. Notify me if there is someone else who does! The randomness of the Megathread continues!

    Here are some ideas: KRL-100X Kerbin III Minmus V Rocket Thing™ Mk. 2 You have written (typed) permission to use this trademark. [Obviously not a real trademark.]

    Because of Kerbal Space Program, the letter "K" means so much more to me.
  21. Ben J. Kerman
    There is no such thing, sir. https://bjh223.wixsite.com/benscranelist https://www.liebherr.com/en/usa/products/mobile-and-crawler-cranes/mobile-and-crawler-cranes.html https://www.sennebogen.com/en/products/telescopic-crane

    @StarhelperdudeIs that a reference to the "Favorite crane brand" thread?
  23. Ben J. Kerman
    If that is what we are doing. 72 years (Click here to learn more.)

    You don't get the random naming of lengths of time? Me neither.
