    This crane is pretty cool. If it was proportional control it would be spectacular. Up and down ops are good. It will pick up loads heavier then it has counterweight for. The extending and retraction ops are even adequate but the rotation is frustrating because it’s too fast and not proportional. It’s on/off basically so your loads no matter if swung close to the upright or all the way extended is almost always going to pendulum really bad. Guess my scale construction guys are going to have to start using load control lines to steady the load.
    nonetheless this thing is so cool to have on the construction site. With the lights on and it just sitting in the background is worth it but I’m pretty impressed with its load handling as well.
    I included a quick evening demo unloading some barriers so you can see it in operation.

      Ok so I couldn’t help myself. Now this crane is spectacular. I eliminated all the stock electronics and added all my own and made every control point proportional. Up/down, extend/retract, rotation all proportional!!! Plus something super fun for loading and unloading. Electromagnetic grab bar. I now enjoy operating this crane even more and it brings it to a whole new level of fun.

        Can you tell us how you made it proportional. Thanks

          So it’s actually really easy to make it fully proportional. I had an old spectrum radio laying around 6ch and a micro receiver. I got three micro speed controllers off Amazon $15 and wired those to the 1.rotation motor 2. The winch 3. The transit motor (in/out). The only thing left was the light on the controller board. I replaced the OEM light with a 5mm red led and wired it to an external battery that I mount on the counter weight for extra counter weight. The receiver I placed in the cab to give it some distance from all the speed controls and wires. I cut and eliminated the switches on all the speed controllers and wired them all through the OEM switch. It’s a tight fit but all of it did fit in the cavity where the MFCB was located. And I eliminated the speaker as well. No sound this thing produced was worth keeping. I will be doing a build tutorial later on for the electromagnetic picker that I demo in the second video.
