[MOC] Oilfield Rig Up Truck

Recommended Posts

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!

I like to present my Oilfield Rig Up Truck.

My main goals were to achieve the function of the gin pole and off-road capabilities (pendulum axles).

As ever, I focused on playability for children’s Hands.

Therefor I had to accept some compromises: The gin pole is too long to be stowed away on the bed – it has to be dismantled partly. Furthermore the winches are too large because of the necessary gearbox.

To get a touch of the American stye I used some chrome parts.

Configuration as Bed Truck – the gin pole is stowed away ( (all components are stowed on the truck)

That’s it – interested what you think about it.

Kind regards

The truck and the functions are really nice.  It may not be the most accurate representation overall as you noted, but given your aim for playability I think it's great.  Also, nice use of that old battery box!  :sweet:

This is really cool. Its more realistic looking than a lot of official Lego sets and the functionality ("playability") looks awesome. I would love to try and build this. Fantastic MOC truck!

Extremely impressive. 

I can envision several oilfield service companies wanting to display your creation in their reception area.

Thanks for your replies! 

I know there are much better MOCs of American trucks than mine ;-) 

My main aim were the functions AND playability - the truck is not built to be displayed in an office, even I would be proud if someone likes to display it ;-)

I need the space between wheel well and front tire because of the pendulum axles.

Battery box - nothing of my 4,5V components is working anymore, so this is a good use for it :-)

Kind regards from AUT
