Pictorial review: 8441 Forklift

[Lost_In_Noise]

8441 was released in 2003, contains 70 pieces, and features lifting forks powered by a rubber band.

The set uses 4 of the "Tire 24 x 14 Shallow Tread", and is the only Technic set to have them in white.

The build begins with the wheelbase.

Four frictionless pins holds the wheels.

The roof has its own sub-assembly part in the instructions.

The cocpit begins to take form.

Main body almost done.

Now for the fork sub-assembly:

A rubber band keeps the forks uplifted.

Finished!

Comparison with 850, and 8872's forklift.

Now to see how much it can lift:

And... there it goes. High-res pics availible here

May I ask a little question; do you have (almost) all Technic sets (like Blakbird)? I'm just wondering, because in all your reviews, you've always got something to compare

Too bad you didn't also have those three to put it alongside with!

Not yet. I have 123 out of 200 sets. Maybe some day I'll have them all.
