Description

Colour that stands out

Black and light bluish grey form the structure, while blue and yellow provide strong contrast. That is a livelier look than many of the grey construction vehicles in the range, and it makes the model easy to pick out on a shelf. Because the set dates from 2008, its greys match every later Technic set. The blue and yellow parts are useful in your own builds too, for highlighting moving sections or small details without making a model look busy.

What a cherry picker does

A cherry picker lifts a worker in a basket or platform up to places that ladders cannot safely reach, such as street lights, building fronts or tree canopies. The name comes from similar machines used in orchards. For Technic, a vehicle with a boom and a platform gives the designers plenty of room for mechanics. At 725 pieces, this set sits in the middle of the Technic range from that year and can be finished in an evening or two.

A focused parts list

The 725 pieces use 110 distinct parts, a moderate spread that reflects the studless building style of the time. The same pins, axles and liftarms in various lengths do much of the work, so the build has a steady rhythm and sorting afterwards is straightforward. If you are checking a used copy, the complete inventory on this page lets you work through every element by colour and quantity and write down anything that is missing.

Beyond the single model

Whether you keep the cherry picker built or break it down, its parts can go further. Add them to the What can I build? tool together with the rest of your collection, and you will see which other sets you can already complete or nearly complete. Technic sets from around 2008 share many core elements, so a handful of extra parts is often enough to unlock another vehicle from the same period.
