60409 Cargo Team - ALT model

[M_longer]

 

What can be done with 18 wheels except mobile crane?

This:

 

 

Hooklift truck, based on M1120 HEMTT LHS, cargo trailer, telehandler and two platforms with a lot of cargo. And all of that using almost 90% of parts from the set.

Truck uses 8 large wheels and two small as spare tire. Featuring working hooklift arm:

 

 

That can be turned into dump truck with locking the arm with a tile:

 

 

 

Both cargo platforms are interchangeable, allowing to be lifted from ground and trailer.

 

 

Platform allows to put heavier load, which can be picked up by telehandler.

 

 

 

Speaking about the trailer - simple, but sturdy model, that can be pulled by truck and telehandler.

 

 

 

 

 

Trailer was built to work with the hooklift, allowing to slide the container from truck onto it:

 

 

 

Fully loaded:

 

 

 

 

The last part of the Cargo Team, Telehandler:

 

 

Featuring arm elevation & extension + tiltable forks, with front outriggers:

 

 

It can be transported on the platform too, it just needs one of the cargo pieces to be placed on it:

 

 

 

 

Both cabs can be opened, to place the minifigs inside:

 

 

 

 

Instructions are divided into 4 books, to try some different approach this time :)

Great alternate model. I like the features you included in both the lorry and the telehandler.

That is great. You nailed the HEMTT and everything else the way it fits together. I'm def stealing some of that, lol.

Wow! So much playability and thought put into these! Love how all the pieces seamlessly work together as part of a system.  Absolutely wonderful alternate build!
