Moving crane concept!

[Tobbzzzz]

This is my concept for a ''moving'' crane.

It uses two parts, a frame and a ''engine''.

Please help me and make a use of this!

Angle the ramp so you get some control regarding elevation, then you can control position by driving it and with a downwards-facing Klaw, catch stuff. Install a mechanism to re-dock to survive timewarps, too.

Rune. You're onto something here.

radial decouplers are VERY flexible i'm sure you can make something decent out of them

i can totally see this being used to mount a reusable shuttle atop a launcher

This has potential, seen stuff like it IRL~ I imagine if you made an over hang on one side (so there was nothing underneath it) you could somehow spawn in new probes that could be deposited into a reusable shuttle cargo bay.

It is possible!

I made some modifications to the frame and made a ''elevevator''

EDIT 1: removed non-working link and added pictures instead.

Also using docking ports for pick and drop tasks.

I tried using a screw to control the height. It kind of worked, but It couldn't lift very much weight. The ramp is probably better. Also, reaction wheels worked better for controlling rotation than the powered wheels. You can also see a weird bug in this picture that caused the root part (structural fuselage) to be improperly scaled.

Nice! I thought of a screw first, but didnt find a way to do it.

What about this way?

Something that is also very flexible: Radial ant engines.
