Verachtert Work Tools

Sloan

Hi, here is my verachtert work tools, i am currently getting a Liebherr R954 built in 1:14 scale, i plant to build lots more working attachments, any feedback welcome, this is my first picture post so i hope picture size is ok

Firstly the Verachtert Quick Hitch

Atlas Copco HB5800

Verachtert Ripper Tooth

Verachtert VHP Pulveriser (unfinished)

Thanks

Hi Steve,

very cool and very scale work tools!
for posting pictures. Please also show us pictures of your 954!

Sloan

Hi Alexander

Thanks very much for the kind words

I hope to make many many more attachments for when my excavator is finnished, i am slightly concerned that the VHP Pulveriser may be too heavy for the R954C ? what weight of attachment could you R964C take?

Do u laser cut ur parts or use free hand?

thanks

Hi Steve,

hmm... the lifting capacity of the 964 is round about 6kg. I´m not realy sure... i thing the limit of the attachmant weight is 2,5kg.

Most aluminium-sheet-parts and metal-sheet-parts are laser cut... the brass-sheet-parts, turend parts and most of the milled parts are handmade. It´s a mixture of both.

Sloan

WOW! 2.5kg max attachment weight, that is great. i hope my R954 is nearly as good,what manufacturer of hydraulics are you running,?

untill now i have cut all my parts with a band saw but my next planned attachment is a demolition sorting grab from verachtert, so i thing im going to enquire about getting those parts laser cut for repeated accuracy,

Hi Steve,

we use a Jung Fluid Pump-combination (3 pumps) and a brushless-motor. The cylinders and hydraulic valves are self made.

Laser cut parts are very comfortable and the accuracy is very high.

Hi Alexander,

My friend is building my excavator and we are using damitz hyd's and cylinders with self made hyd track motors and perhaps in the future a long reach boom and dipper,
But I am struggling to find a FLN paint supplier to supply the MvO colours, here in Scotland I may have to contact a supplier in the Netherlands, once my R954 is finnished we must get a group photo of the MvO fleet,

Thanks
Steven

Hi Steven,

hmm... my hydraulicsystem runs at 28bar pressure... if you use damitz components, you can´t get over 15 bar... you should not carry to far the attachment weight.
self made hydromotors? Please show some pictures!

That will be difficult... scotland is so far away...

Hi Alexander,

To be honest I was unaware of this, that may seriously affect performance on a large machine like the 954 I may have to check that out. Thanks for the tip, in ur opinion will the damitz hyds be to weak for a R954

Once my models are complete I plan on doing a few shows in Europe because there is nothing like this level here in Britain, so u never know, perhaps one day,

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steven,

maybe you´ll get in trouble with only 15bar... the performance would be better at 25bar and adequate dimensioned cylinders.The piston-diameter schould have 14 - 16mm. Damitz builds very good components and the quality is high, but for a excavator of this size... i think its to weak, the 954 is just a very large mashine... ... that´s my opinion.

Cool, perhaps we´ll meet one day... never say never.
