1:16 Scale Robbe Linde H50 RC Forklift Functions: An electric motor installed at the base of the mast drives a horizontal shaft fitted with a worm gear at each end. The worm gear engages with a pinion mounted on a vertical length of studding. The studding is fitted inside an internally threaded metal tube. This mechanism takes the place of the hydraulic lifting cylinder of the full-size machine. The lift cylinder (the threaded spindle) raises the fork bearer by raising the inner (top) part of the mast by means of two chains which pass over guide pulleys. The load rises at half the speed of the inner mast section. Specs: Length: 285 mm Width: 115 mm Height: 170 mm Scale: 1:16 Wheelbase: 135 mm Track: 100 mm Length: 285 mm This model is the result of an extensive development programme involving the collaboration of the Linde company. The Linde H50 is one of the worlds best-known and most widely employed fork-lift trucks. It is hard to imagine a place of employment in which this floor transport vehicle could not be used. Thousands of the full-size vehicle have been built, and it forms an ideal basis for our exciting new model. In developing this model they kept two crucial points in mind at all times: scale fidelity and full functionality. In a vehicle less than 20 cm long they had to find space for all the models essential electronic and mechanical control systems. This they managed, keeping to our chosen scale not only in terms of the vehicles length, width and height, but …
