Posted October 26, 20159 yr Typically trains are my thing, but those take a while so in between I like to build city vehicles. This one's been on the shelf for a while and it's finally reached an iteration that I'm happy with. The truck is the cab from 4203 modded a la 4434 into a roll off dumpster truck. I wanted to utilze the hook lift arm piece from 4564 and 6353, so I built a hooklift trailer to go with.

October 26, 20159 yr Now there's a nice truck. Love the trailer and the "roll off" mechanism. Keep clicking those bricks together!
October 26, 20159 yr The model looks good. I was surprised to find out that trailers like that actually exist, I was just about to tell you that typically trailers for hook-lift trucks don't have their own hook mechanism. ;)
October 26, 20159 yr Though I prefer larger trucks this is done very well, I really love its playability. Must admit that I didn't know that nice hook part on the trailer. By using a Technic mini actuator you might get the hydraulic cylinder working, too.
October 26, 20159 yr Author Thanks for all the likes guys! I was surprised to find out that trailers like that actually exist I was pleasantly surprised too! I've got two of those arms and really wanted to put them to use somewhere. The hooklift truck was one iteration of this MOC that I didn't quite like though. By using a Technic mini actuator you might get the hydraulic cylinder working, too. Not a bad idea... I dunno where I could hide all the other Technic bits for it though. I do have one of the small pneumatic cylinders at home...
