Description

Palette and part count

According to the catalogue, black and light bluish grey make up most of the pieces, with blue and red as the main accent colours. That palette matches several other Technic vehicles from 2012, so the parts mix easily if you own more than one set from the period. The 1,308 pieces cover 151 part types, a ratio that reflects the long, repetitive framing of a lorry chassis. Every element is listed on this page with its colour and quantity for quick reference.

The job it depicts

Timber lorries haul felled trees from forest tracks to sawmills and yards. Behind the cab they carry upright stakes that hold the logs in place, and many are fitted with their own loading crane so the driver can pick up the timber without separate machinery. Set 9397 takes this working vehicle as its subject. It is a less obvious choice than a digger or mobile crane, which is part of its appeal for anyone building up a varied fleet of Technic commercial vehicles.

What the build involves

The model follows studless Technic construction, the standard approach by 2012, so expect liftarms, pins, axles and gears rather than studded bricks. At around 1,300 pieces, it takes an evening or two for most builders. It is manageable for younger fans who already know their way around Technic, particularly if the parts are sorted before starting. When finished, the long lorry looks good on display next to other commercial vehicles, and it is sturdy enough to be picked up and admired from every side.

A second life for the parts

Once the truck has had its turn on the shelf, the What can I build? tool can point you towards other sets you could assemble from the same inventory, with a count of any parts you would still need. The mix of neutral structural pieces and coloured elements also suits custom projects such as tractors, trailers or other lorries. If you are buying a used copy, the parts list below makes it easy to confirm nothing has gone astray.
