Contractor Grade Mobile Crane Woodworking Plan

Junior operating engineers will enjoy doing the heavy lifting with this fully operational construction toy. Before your favorite youngster gets bogged down in video games, give a gift that lets his imagination do the lifting - this sturdy wooden crane. Hand-operated hoists raise and lower the boom and bucket. The tower assembly pivots smoothly on a ball-bearing lazy Susan to easily pick up and place loads. A wide-track chassis featuring eight sets of dual wheels provides sure-footed mobility. You provide the flat stock and a few wood screws. We provide a one-stop source for the remaining hardware and special fittings.
