Description

A working vehicle with mechanics

Forklifts are among the best-known working machines in warehouses and on building sites, and Technic is a good way to reproduce their functions. The model consists of 232 pieces in 56 different types. Typical for the theme are beams with holes, axles and connectors that form a frame which can move and carry a load. The result is a model that not only looks good but also shows clearly how a lifting mast works, even with a manageable number of parts.

Yellow on a dark base

Black, light grey, yellow and dark grey shape the look. The yellow recalls the bold colours of real working vehicles and stands out clearly against the dark parts. Black covers tyres and drive, the two greys the frame, mast and machinery. The overall impression is industrial and suits the subject. It differs sharply from brightly coloured brick boxes and shows how a Technic model can convince with only a few colours.

For tinkerers and collectors

Technic fans value the working principle above all: how is the fork raised, how does the steering work, where does the force act? Without minifigures the set suits children of primary-school age who already like to tinker, and adults who enjoy a quiet evening of building. For play you can set up a storage yard with small pallets from your own bricks, and for display a shelf is enough, since the model stays compact and takes up little room.

Parts list and reusing Technic parts

A set from 2001 is mostly found second-hand today, and with Technic completeness matters because missing axles or connectors spoil the function. The parts list on this page shows each element with quantity and colour. The What can I build? tool shows which other vehicles and machines come out of these parts and your own stock, for example cranes or small lorries. Technic beams and axles are very versatile and worth keeping in your collection.
