Description
Functional model of a rubber tired gantry crane. These types of cranes operate in shipping ports handling container storage pads.

Features:
Full range of motion for the hoist & trolley - Place anywhere between wheels.
Gantry and cross travel modes for traversing between pads.
Status indicator lights - aids in getting the spreader bar on top of containers smoothly.
High load tolerance - tested with 5 LG small containers full of steel plates.*
Survival ready - has its own hydrogen engine and ice processing capability for power production.
PARK + toolbar control scheme.
Jetpack free entry and exit.**

This build is unmodded apart from the cables which are there just for looks, nothing will be lost if loaded into an unmodded world.

Has a load of pistons and rotors so I can't guarantee clang free, but so far in my testing off- and online loaded and unloaded it hasn't gone mad or made wild sounds so fingers crossed.

*When under full stress I don't recommend rapid moves. The crane holds sturdy but hoist pistons can flex and give a bit of wavy motion.
**When exiting, the game should put you back on the platform if you leave the cab parked, but sometimes it can drop you off even if parked right. Best to keep a small amount of jetpack juice left to cushion the drop in case that happens

Probably the only good looking and working Gantry Crane on the WS!
