LEGO® 6x6 Volvo Articulated Hauler

LEGO Technic set 42114 recreates a six-wheeled Volvo articulated hauler used in construction and heavy-duty terrain work. With 2,193 pieces and 237 different part types, the model combines classic Technic building with motorised functions. At its core is an articulated chassis, the same feature that gives the real machine its off-road agility.

Description

Articulation as the core idea

Unlike a rigidly steered vehicle, the 6x6 Volvo's chassis splits into two segments joined by a central pivot that lets them twist against each other. That articulation is what keeps the real hauler manoeuvrable on uneven construction sites, and the model recreates it through a sturdy Technic joint supported by pneumatics. Building that joint is one of the most technically demanding sections in the entire set of instructions. Even small errors at this stage tend to show up later in how the steering behaves.

Motorised functions

Built-in motors control the steering, the tipping of the load bed and the drive to all six wheels, so the model doesn't just look like the real machine, it behaves like one too. These functions are typical of the upper end of the Technic range and assume the build of motorised sub-assemblies alongside the mechanical structure. Anyone who has built other motorised Technic sets before will recognise plenty of familiar assemblies here. Most of the motor wiring stays neatly hidden inside the chassis once complete.

Colours and material look

The parts list follows real construction-machinery paintwork: yellow dominates the cab and load bed, while black and the two greys cover the chassis, tyres and mechanical parts. Blue picks out targeted accents on bodywork sections, giving the model a clear identity next to other Technic construction machines. With 237 different part types, the colour palette stays more contained here than in many sets built around architecture. That makes it easier to match parts to the right stage while building.

Built for experienced Technic fans

At 2,193 pieces, this set is aimed at builders who already have experience with functional models and pneumatic elements, since the instructions assume some technical understanding. Technic sets don't include minifigures as a rule, and the focus here sits entirely on the mechanics. The full parts list on this page shows exactly which colours and shapes go into the chassis, the cab and the load bed, making the scope of the build easy to judge beforehand.

FAQ

What makes the articulated steering special?
The chassis is built from two segments joined by a central pivot that lets them twist against each other, keeping the hauler manoeuvrable on uneven ground.
Can the model be remote controlled?
Yes, built-in motors allow the steering, load bed tipping and all six wheels to be controlled remotely.
How many pieces and part types does the set have?
It contains 2,193 pieces spread across 237 different part types.
