It’s New Year’s Day, and there’s already a hooker in the office. Nope, we haven’t gone ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ for 2025 (we’re still very much a ropey Lego blog rather than a stock market scam); this one is of the Lego variety, being a splendid fully mechanical Technic hook-lift truck courtesy of TLCB Master MOCer Thirdwigg.
Fitted with front and rear axle steering, a working piston engine under the tilting cab, a functioning hook-lift plus tipper mechanism, and two roll-off containers (one of which is also fitted with a slewing crane grab), Thirdwigg’s truck is an excellent creation with which to begin the new year.
There’s much more to see at Thirdwigg’s ‘Hook Lift Truck’ album on Flickr, where a link to building instructions can also be found, and you can click the link above for the hook.
