MIGHTY MACHINE CRANE

MT055 Available

The first known crane machine was the shadouf, a water-lifting device that was invented in ancient Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) and then appeared in ancient Egyptian technology. Construction cranes later appeared in ancient Greece, where they were powered by men or animals (such as donkeys), and used for the construction of buildings. Larger cranes were later developed in the Roman Empire, employing the use of human treadwheels, permitting the lifting of heavier weights

Prototype history

People began to invent devices designed to increase human strength from the moment of building activity of mankind. Therefore, it is impossible to say who invented the lifting crane. However, we can observe samples of large-scale work created using lifting machines. And the most impressive of them are the Egyptian and Latin American pyramids. And the installation of the idols of Easter Island maybe was not without the simplest cranes.

Through centuries of technological progress, the lifting machines had a long line of reincarnations and turned into engineering masterpieces, but the basic principle of their operation remained the same: a heavy platform, a long jib, and a block system. 

PROTOTYPE HISTORY
HISTORY OF THE MODEL FORMATION

This design allows you to solve several main tasks of the crane: to increase the mass of the raised cargo, the height to which it needs to be lifted, and the force attached to this process. Modern cranes have no limit in all these parameters. Therefore, this symbol of construction is an interesting model for technical creativity.The designers of “Metal Time” analyzed many types of lifting machines and as the basis for their new self-assembling model chose a prototype of the port crane. The model demonstrates a large-scale mechanism for working with big loads. Therefore, it was called “Mighty Machine”.

Features, benefits

The model for self-assembly “Mighty Machine” consists of a platform with four supporting “legs”, a   jib, a cab, and a lifting mechanism.

The model consists of many moving parts. The jib can change the angle of inclination, thereby adjusting the height to which you can raise the load. The cab and jib rotate on the platform at 360 degrees. The crane is equipped with a system of gears that allow it to imitate the movement of the lifting mechanism, stretching the rope with the hook through the block system. The position of the jib, as well as the lifting and lowering of the cargo, is carried out manually using the control wheels. The mechanism also has two stoppers for fixing both wheels.

The “Mighty Machine” model is made using color stainless steel, which gives it an original form of a bright detail of the model range. This turns it into a bright toy, and into part of the installation or layout in corporate colors, or an element of the decoration of the room.

“Mighty Machine” is made with great attention to the details. The staircase, cabin door, control panel, hook, ornaments, and structural elements give it reliability and originality. Four pillars make the model stable and allow it to be used as a crane in children's games without fear that it can fall.

CHARACTERISTICS, BENEFITS
FEATURES, BENEFITS

Like all “Metal Time” construction sets, the Mighty Machine model was created from environmentally friendly stainless steel used in the food industry and admitted to the production of consumer goods and toys.

Precise cutting of the set excludes the possibility of cuts during the assembly process. The details are accurately adjusted to each other and will not create problems in joint.

Pleasant tactile sensations, strength, and aesthetics of matte metal favorably distinguish steel parts from wooden or plastic, used in other self-assembly sets.

Convenient flat packaging from environmentally friendly processed cardboard connects the compactness and aesthetics of a status gift.

Each buyer of the “Metal Time” model receives a club badge, a thank you card, and a unique number assigned to each model. Entering the “Metal Time” club opens up additional opportunities for each buyer.

The “Mighty Machine” model is a great gift for lovers of technical creativity, as well as aesthetics of complex metal structures. Color details also turn the model into a wonderful toy for use on “construction sites” in a children's room.

In addition, the model will perfectly fit into the interior as an original decor element. On the desktop, she will demonstrate your passion for constructing or involvement in the construction business. Or maybe just “ship” you with a pencil box.

The crane model can be used as part of the installation or layout of the docks, construction site, production port, or board game dedicated to the economy.

Also, “Mighty Machine” will be an excellent gift for an engineer, a construction manager, a logistics specialist, and a fan of collecting beautiful metal models.
