Small Motorized Wheel Loader

A small Motorized Wheel loader, featured drives, steering, light, lifted and tilted fork.

I have designed this small loader for a special project, that I will talk about later. I wanted to create the small loader as possible, with drives, steering, and functional fork.

The functions are quite basic but well integrated. The drives is ensured by a L motor, connected to the front axle with 12/20 and 20/diff gearing. Ensuring a good speed but needing the proportional remote control from train to make accurate movements. The steering is operated by a servo motor located upside the L motor and drives the rear axle. The turning radius is quite high but combining with the small wheel base it ensure good turnability.

The raising and tilting of the fork are operated by M motor and linear actuator. The first M motor is located near the servo motor upside the L motor of driving. It drives the whole axle which crossed the model and gives power to the two linear actuators on each side, ensuring the raising of the fork. A second M motor is located on the first, driving the center linear actuator in order to tilt the fork. Note that the model is equipped with special kinematic on the main arm ensuring the fork to be on the same position when it is raised.

Combining the high position of the fork and tilting, the good speed of driving, and the steering, the model is very playable and accurate. The model is powered by a Lipo Battery box, thanks to its size it fits on the rear in transversal position with the two IR received on it. With standard Battery Box, it would have not been possible. Due to IR receiver the rear is quite full but the cabin has a minimum of detail with seat and steering wheel. In addition to that, the both light on the top is powered when the fork is raised.

You can see it in action here :

I have made some detailed picture to create the building instructions as a photo sequence. There is no rare parts on it except the 2 M motor, 1 L motor, 1 Servo Motor, The lipo battery, 2 IR receiver, 4 wheel with yellow rims and 3 linear actuator. The rest is widespread.

    I do not understand, the controller I used with this creation is the first remote I have send you the link on the official lego shop. I can not do more.

    By the way I have been asking of a picture of the controller that you used not the ones you have sent me. What I want you to do is take a picture of the controller of this build and send it to me using my email or post on this page. Thanks

    Hi Nicole just wondering if you can send me a picture of the controller that you use for this model becuase I want to build it but I don’t know how the controller looks so if you can please send me a picture of the controller. Thanks!!!

    Hi Nicolas can you please make Pro Instructions for this model I am ready to pay you 10 euro and as I am not very experienced in building leg could you please make pro instructions.
    Thanks
