Design concept shown in a fixed pose. The 3D view explores the form; effects and mechanisms are illustrative.
FROM ACTION TO DISCOVERY
How the interaction works
Lift and turn
Raise the load and swivel the crane toward the ship.
Place it aboard
Lower the cargo into position, then plan the next transfer.
A CLOSER LOOK
Perspective render
Explore the arrangement of a pedestal crane, suspended pickup head, yellow cargo and a ship.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
What visitors can discover
This concept brings lifting, positioning and role play into a shared water-table setting. Visitors can explore the idea at their own pace and compare what they notice with a partner.
Spatial reasoning
A load must be aligned above its destination before lowering.
Mechanical movement
Swivelling and hoisting provide different ways to reposition an object.
Planning
Visitors can break a delivery into several manageable actions.
PART OF A BIGGER WATER TABLE
Planning Crane & Ship
Allow clear approach to the crane controls and loading area. Develop the pickup mechanism, hoist travel and load limits with protected moving-part clearances.
The arrangement can be developed for a museum, science centre or play space as part of a custom water table. Final dimensions, materials and operating performance are established during design and engineering.
