LEGO 8416 Technic Forklift  (Multicolor)

Product description Tackle tough jobs with this heavy-duty forklift. Reach new heights with a functional Lego forklift. With the advanced Lego Technic line skilled builders no longer need rely on their imaginations to drive their creations--Lego helps them build an engine. Peppered with mechanical principles and a dedication to authenticity these sets don't simply stack blocks they use special pieces like beams gears pistons pins and pneumatic cylinders to build a functioning machine. Build the rugged Forklift from the ground up complete with authentic rear-wheel steering locking boom arm and telescoping mast able to lift more than 14 inches--almost twice its height. Use a lever to control the pitch of the forks then tilt lift and lock while transferring the load. If you're looking for a more road-friendly vehicle rebuild the excavator into a tough forest truck. This 729-piece set includes assembly instructions with detailed color diagrams for building both machines. Blend with other Lego Technic playsets (sold separately) or simply rearrange the pieces for a truly customized machine. --Heather Lyndon
