What it is?
Excavators are heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, dipper (or stick), bucket and cab on a rotating platform known as the "house".The house sits atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels. All movement and functions of a hydraulic excavator are accomplished through the use of hydraulic fluid, with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors.
Key Benefits
- The “Tireless Digger” model has most of the common parts of a real excavator. The designers tried to transfer even the smallest features of the car to the scale model, such as, for example, a shovel on the side of the engine compartment.
- The design allows the components of the boom and bucket to move in the same plane, and the rotating cabin gives them another plane for moving.
Realistic caterpillars move due to rotating wheels connected to a winding mechanism, which also needs to be assembled by your hands.
- A lot of details and the complexity of the model and mechanism will make you spend more than one hour in the assembly process. But as a result, you get an amazing model that can be used in completely different ways - both as an exhibition piece and as a child's toy.
- “Tireless Digger” will add to your collection of heavy machinery if you already have other “Metal Time” models. Or it will be the start of a new collection of pieces of your technical creativity.
- The DIY model “Tireless Digger” is intended for everyone who is interested in the history of the development of design ideas in the creation of heavy machines and mechanisms.
- This model can be used as an object of installation or schematic reconstructions of historical facts, for example, the construction of the Suez Canal or the Three Gorges Power Plant.
- Assembling “Metal Time” models is a fun activity for the whole family or a group of friends and a challenge for your constructor skills. This process can be used as a creative competition or as an anti-stress activity.
- The “Tireless Digger” model kit is designed for a wide range of users aged 14 and over.
- The study and assembly of the model develop the skills of technical creativity, and encourage the study of the history of science and technology.
