Excavator "Tireless Digger" Metal Time Steel Kit

Excavators are heavy construction machines consisting of a boom, bucket (or stick), bucket and cab on a rotating platform called a "house" that sits on a chassis with chains or wheels. All movements and functions of a hydraulic excavator are achieved through the use of hydraulic fluid, hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors.

History of the excavator

The invention of mechanisms has always been aimed at making human work easier. Thus, in the era of large-scale construction in the 15th and 16th centuries, an earth-moving machine could not be left out. It was invented by Leonardo da Vinci.

But the first excavator did not appear until 500 years later. The conventional boom and shovel machine was invented by William Otis. Technology has come a long way since then, but the form and functionality of excavators have not changed conceptually. It is still the same combination of a crane and a shovel for moving earth.

Nowadays, there are many different types of earthmoving machines and their intended use. They perform their tasks on the earth's surface, underground and even under water. Excavators have become one of the most important helpers for people on our planet.

The self-assembly model "Tireless Digger" is a continuation of the collection of heavy special equipment in the "Metal Time" kits.

The digger is a complex and spectacular machine that deserves its place in the collection of models in your home. That is why our engineers have made it very realistic and functional. After assembly, which is a demanding and interesting process, the excavator model is even capable of digging soft soil like sand. However, this is only possible if the boom and bucket are operated manually. And the "Tireless Digger" moves independently on a crawler chassis with the help of a wind-up mechanism.

The reliability of the model's details, the presence of a spring winding mechanism and a variety of parts make assembling this model an interesting task with a consistently beautiful result.

Features, advantages

The "Tireless Digger" model has most of the usual parts of a real digger. The designers have tried to transfer even the smallest features of the vehicle to the scale model, such as a bucket on the side of the engine compartment.

The design allows the boom and bucket components to move in the same plane, and the rotating cab gives them another plane for movement.

The realistic tracks move through rotating wheels that are connected to a wind-up mechanism that also has to be assembled by hand.

Due to the many details and the complexity of the model and the mechanism, you will need more than an hour to assemble it. However, the result is an amazing model that can be used in a variety of ways - both as a display piece and as a children's toy.

"Tireless Digger" will complement 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 anyone interested in the history of the development of design ideas in the creation of heavy machinery and mechanisms.

The model can be used as an installation object or for schematic reconstructions of historical facts, e.g. the construction of the Suez Canal or the Three Gorges Power Station.

Assembling the "Metal Time" models is a fun activity for the whole family or a group of friends and a challenge for your construction 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 from the age of 14.

Studying and assembling the model develops engineering creativity skills and encourages the study of the history of science and technology.

To successfully assemble a digger model, you must first study the structure and purpose of all the parts of this machine. This will broaden your horizons and be a great learning moment for children and young people.

In addition to being a personal display, the Tireless Digger model can also "function" as a toy for children. Assembled, it is completely safe and will be a great helper in the sandbox.

The "Metal Time" models are not only a constructor for active leisure. It is an excellent gift, interior decoration, elements of installations, layouts and exhibition stands.
