Description

Technic in miniature

Technic sets rely mainly on beams, pins and axles rather than studded bricks, and that building style defines the Mini Tow Truck too. At 138 pieces it is among the smallest models in the range, which makes it a sensible starting point for anyone who wants to get to know Technic. The vehicle is a tow truck of the kind you see on the road, and it can be built in a single afternoon without much fuss.

Grey, black and orange

Light and dark bluish grey parts shape the truck, with black for tyres and connectors and orange as the signal colour. That matches the typical look of breakdown and recovery vehicles and sets the model apart from more neutral Technic cars. On a shelf the colour scheme works well too, because the orange is the only strong accent and draws the eye straight to the cab and the lifting gear. For collectors of Technic vehicles it is an easily recognised member of the family.

43 part types in 138 pieces

Of the 138 pieces, 43 are different types, a solid mix for such a small set. They include beams of various lengths, pins, axles and wheels, which together build the mechanics of the truck. There are no minifigures, as Technic puts function ahead of play figures. The parts list on this page shows which parts are in the set and in what quantities, so you can check a copy quickly and decide whether it is worth buying.

Parts for your own constructions

Technic parts can be used almost anywhere, so it makes sense to keep the pieces together after play. The “What can I build?” tool shows which other Technic models your stock can make. If you buy a second-hand set, the list lets you verify that the pins and axles are all there, since these small parts go missing easily and matter a great deal for stability. With a little imagination the parts can also become a small crane or a light transporter.
