Captain Contractor Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Hello fellow forum members! Today I present to you yet another minifig-scale model that I have only seen represented in Technic; I have built a swing loader. Even though they are typically seen in around rail yards and train depots, swing loaders can be found in road only configurations. I decided to follow this approach with mine, as I did not have any train wheels or tracks. My MOC is a rather simplistic of the preexisting Lego City 7630 Front-End Loader. The only unique aspects of mine are the attachments .

Swing Loader 7 by Ryn Labrie, on Flickr Swing Loader 8 by Ryn Labrie, on Flickr This final image is mostly based off of a forklift toy that I'd seen in a store. I am unsure as to whether or not this attachment is real, however I felt that this model would not be complete without some form of pallet forks.

Captain Contractor Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) *edit- I've actually found an implement that is very similar to my forklift mast. It is called the Tele-Fork and is made by Cheyenne Tooling. I've also discovered that the backhoe arm I saw: Edited June 2, 2015 by Ryn Labrie Quote
