Description

A vehicle that actually works

Technic models differ from other sets because they do not just look the part but do something. The Cherry Picker lifts a basket on a movable arm, much like the vehicles that take workers up to street lamps or building fronts. At 155 pieces the set is deliberately small, which is exactly what makes it a good introduction to the mechanics behind levers, axles and connector pins. The principle is easy to grasp and still instructive.

Black, grey and warning colours

Black and light bluish grey form the base, with orange and blue as accents. That recalls real site vehicles, where bright colours keep them visible. The parts list holds 49 different parts among 155 pieces, many of them typical Technic elements such as beams, pins and axles that can be reused in other models. There are no minifigures, as the vehicle itself is the focus. The mix of dark base tones and bright accents makes the working parts easy to spot and keeps the model readable from a distance.

Who it suits

The set appeals to children who like finding out how things work, and to adults after a small Technic project for a spare evening. Anyone who has only built classic bricks will meet the beam-and-pin style of construction here. On a shelf the vehicle looks plain and businesslike. It came out in 2019, so it is no longer brand new, and models of this size are usually available second-hand at modest prices. For children new to Technic that makes a good start without long instructions.

Checking and reusing the parts

This page lists the complete parts with colours and quantities, which helps if you buy the set second-hand. The "What can I build?" tool shows which other models can be made from these parts and your collection. Technic elements are especially flexible, because the same beams, pins and axles are needed in many cranes, vehicles and machines, so the bricks stay useful for a long time. If you only need a few axles or pins, you can find them quickly there.
