MOC - MTAS Truck and Attachments

[Paul B Technic]

Modular truck attachment system (MTAS) is a standard I have designed and developed to allow various attachments and tools to be used on my LEGO Technic truck.

This system provides for the flexibility to easily swap attachments on the truck, depending on the use of the truck at that time. The idea for this came about from my experience designing and building Unimog attachments which I have really enjoyed designing and building over the past few months.

The truck features:

- Hand of God steering

- Opening cabin doors

- Scissor Lift

The first attachment for this is a modified Unimog attachment scissor lift. Over a period of time I will be converting more Unimog attachments to use with this and building new ones from scratch.

MOC - MTAS Attachment - Cherry Picker

My second attachment for this is a modified Unimog attachment cherry picker. Origianlly this was built to mount on to the back of LEGO Technic set 8110 - Unimog. I have modified this to mount on to my MTAS truck, this required a redesign of the mount, removal of the turntable control and redesign of this to work on the new mounting standard. The black control on the side raises and lowers the cherry picker, the grey gear on the rear rotates the turntable.

I really like this system!

Looks like a very effective system and I'm amazed by how high both the cherry picker and scissor lift can reach

Thanks for the feedback, I am really happy with how they both work and look forward to building more attachments for it.

Interesting concept,I don't know why but the truck reminds me the 8052

Do you have more pictures of the truck?

I'd like to rebuilt it.

Thank you.

I can take more photo of the truck, it really is fairly basic.
