Looking at this photo - can we assert that these great producers with a world-renowned name and a rich history copy each other? I think so... If someone once invented the wheel, it is very difficult, and perhaps unnecessary, to invent something else with the same functionality. My idea is as...

"Thank you, you are right. We say: Первый блин - комом (the first pancake is always a lumpy one). As for work - yes, I work alone and I really enjoy creating things. I know how to sell, but when a 'living' thing comes from my hands, I get significantly more pleasure."

Hey everyone! So, I finally finished relocating my motors and properly setting up the wheel rims. I really wasn’t happy with the original setup, so I went ahead and modified the design of my machine. Now, those “cups” will be installed in a standard configuration. On top of that, I redesigned...

So, after some thought, I came up with a simple and cost-effective solution—moving the hydraulic motors outside into special "baskets." Here's what it looks like on the blueprint. Decision made, time to buy the materials. I'll need a steel pipe—219mm in diameter, with a 6mm wall thickness. My...

I’ve finally finished assembling the frame and the lifting mechanism. Now it’s time to paint the body and move forward with the next steps. I even cleaned up my workshop and mopped the floor))) It feels great to walk around now... But, as always, problems show up when you least expect them...

Thank you for following the process! I truly appreciate it! Those who enjoyed building models, cars, or construction sets as kids will understand me perfectly. As I assemble my forklift, I’m transported back to a calm and carefree childhood. It reminds me of when my parents handled life’s...

Great! It looks like something similar to machinery is taking shape. An important point here is the welding of the boom. A small mistake, and the boom won't be aligned correctly with the body. This is unacceptable. In the photo, you can see how I center the part of the hydraulic cylinder that...

I apologize for posting the progress of my work so spontaneously. I work for a while and film. Then, when I have free time, I post it for your judgment. Sometimes, I do not touch the loader due to other work. To be continued....

The lifting boom looks quite simple. But it provides a lift capacity of up to 450kg. That's quite a lot, if you think about it... But I still don't like this solution. In my loader, I will use a rectangular tube. This is a closed loop that works very well under torsion. I think the load that my...

I have moved on to an important step - the lifting boom. I am starting to fit and weld the guide bushings.

I'm sorry that you can't see the video. I don't know where I can upload the video so that everyone can see it. Maybe you can suggest something to me?

A very important element is the pivot nodes. I take a steel rod. First, I drill a hole, then I enlarge it on a lathe with a cutter, and then I finish it to high precision with a reamer. And into the resulting sleeve, I press in a bronze insert with a Teflon coating. This is a maintenance-free...

Assembled and welded the front pivot assembly.

Rear part. Here the rotation hydraulic cylinder will also be mounted.

Front part. The hydraulic rotation cylinder will be mounted here.
