Cargo port Gantry crane (1 mod)

Description
99.9% vanilla build of a folding gantry crane used in cargo shipping operations. These cranes load and discharge container vessels.

Built for the fun of using it to move container mockups, its load capacity isn't the greatest unfortunately but if you don't plan on using the folding function to stow the boom you can safely add ballast to it to make it work better. Recharge via rotor head on front left wheel. Remember to lock/unlock the hinges before stowing the boom up.

Features:
Folding boom & working hoist/trolley/gantry functions
WASD+Space+C controls for most functions, reducing toolbar clutter to just a few items
jetpack free entry/exit*
Indicator lights to assist in placing the spreader bar on containers gently

*Sometimes the game just drops you off on the other side of where you entered so best to keep some jetpack fuel just in case it drops you off outside the parking platform.

HOX, for one reason or another, the rotors on this build could go berserk. I have no idea what causes it as it's not related to clearances or anything of the sort so best not to park wheels near absolutely critical builds. Absolutely nothing I can do about it :C

Mod is 100% unnecessary and there just for looks.

yes i did, also i replaced them in space with ion thrusters and it works fine too

Yeah I ran into that as well, it's a shame but you can always replace them with regular wheels, albeit you do lose out on the compactness

I'm not home at my game capable computer for a long time so I'm afraid not, but perhaps later in the summer. A drydock is definitely something I'd like to make.

@OctoMoose, could you please make a Dry dock that fits my Lusitania? (preferably made so i can land her and put her in dry dock until needed)
