Description

A wheel loader for the building site

This set belongs to the Construction theme and shows a vehicle that moves earth and material with its bucket. At 108 pieces the build is short enough to finish in an afternoon, yet detailed enough that a real wheel loader is recognisable. The included minifigure sits in the cab, giving the vehicle a sense of scale and a driver who can get stuck in on the building site straight away. The cab is also easy to alter, so after a few moves the loader looks different and fits an idea of your own for the site.

Yellow with grey details

Yellow is the classic colour for construction vehicles and dominates the bodywork here. Dark bluish grey and black supply wheels, arm and mechanics, while clear parts stand in for windows and windscreens. The parts list shows 47 different elements, a good mix for a set of this size. Many of them are specialised shapes that recreate the frame and the movable bucket assembly and make the model convincing. Clear parts are rarely numerous in construction vehicles, so they stand out separately in the parts list.

Playing on site

As a City set the loader is made for play: the bucket can be moved, and the vehicle fits with other construction sets in the line, such as dump trucks or excavators. Children quickly build a small scene around it. If you buy a used copy, use the parts list on this page to check that the specialised pieces of the bucket and cab are still there before you commit. A heap of bricks, a few road plates and a bit of imagination are enough to turn a single vehicle into a whole building site.

Reusing the pieces

The yellow and grey parts are useful in many other vehicles, from diggers to cranes. Use the “What can I build?” tool on this page to see which further sets your collection could cover. That turns the loader into a source of parts for your own construction vehicles, should you ever want to rebuild the original model into something new. If you have a bigger collection, take a look at the parts, since yellow is often scarce in other lines and therefore in demand.
