MOC: Hand pallet truck

[Selander]

This is surely one of the most simple designs I have done, yet I concider it

beeing a perfect addition to create realistic cargo scenaries, when loading/unloading

small pallets on trucks with a rear backlift.

The small pallet (tan plate 2 x 4) is a bearing element to keep the two hinge brick

top plates holding together.

Also, I think it has that correct minifig size....

Original item looks like this:

I really like this. It is very simple, but the best ideas usually are

Yes, this is very nice.

I like the clean lines of the truck, combination of colors is very well, my favorite, i can say.

for the pallet, maybe you should build it like 4x4 plate, EUR pallets are approx that dimension in minifig scale.

Pallet Jack is nice, i would lake it longer by one stud.

I like this setup very much, currently my job include working with pallets and pallet jack, so it is very nice to see it in lego

pallet jack! great idea.

I came accross this website to read more info on this great product: http://www.directind...ruck-71232.html

Why, did you bump up a topic from last decade ?

And not make a direct comment on it to do with it being made out of Lego ?

I think it's just bot generated spam. I see alot of that on other boards. Someone makes a random first post that appears to reply to a thread but in reality just contains a link they want you to click. Should probably just delete it.

Although now we're here - that's a great looking pallet truck by Selander!

I agree with you, Missing Brick. This is SPAM, albeit a bit cleverer than the bots we had before which responded to a running topic with a link to something that had absolutely nothing to do with teh subject of that topic. This link leeds to a site that does have something to do with Pallet Trucks, so obviously this bot is content-sensitive. Post has been reported, so I guess it will be moderated soon.

I always like seeing "real life" things replicated in Lego. When I see a giant crane or a Maersk truck, I like to think of it as life imitating Lego, even though the real life version obviously came first. ;)

I don't work with pallets, but I can walk 50 feet to the warehouse to see a pallet jack. It's nice to see jobs other than fireman/policeman/doctor represented in Lego. My town needs an industrial area!

I'm glad the thread got revived. I missed this first time around and it is quite nicely done.

[harton]

I'm also happy to see this thread. I already see some of his vehicules but not this ones. It now gives me ideas!

[Selander]

Nice but unexpected to see an interest for my old MOC…... and for the first time ever it seems I experienced something positive with SPAM

[tedbeard]

You inspired a little building last weekend and I finally took a couple of pictures including:

I have been wanting to do a delivery truck for a while. I like the taller pallets so I had a little more room to work with.

Not really meant to be seen except under a pallet.
