LEGO Technic 42203 – C Model – Mod – Rubbish Loader Body

[Paul B Technic]

This build takes inspiration from the Snow Plow C Model of LEGO Technic set 42203, but with a fresh and functional twist — transforming it into a fully operational Rubbish Loader Body.

From Snow Plow to Street Service

While the original C Model is great fun, I wanted something more urban-service themed. The result is this rubbish loader body, designed to mount onto the 42203 truck chassis with minimal changes.

Key Features

• Rear Claw Bin Lifter
  At the back, a compact but sturdy claw mechanism allows the loading of a rubbish bin into the truck. The claw arms swing up smoothly, making it easy to simulate real-world bin collection.

• Tip-and-Empty Action
  The entire rear tray body lifts up, and as it does, the rear door automatically opens to allow the rubbish load to empty out — just like the real thing at a landfill tip.

• Quick-Release Mounting
  The body is connected to the chassis using only two pins, making it quick and easy to remove or swap with other attachments.

Modular Play Possibilities

Because the body is detachable, this mod opens the door for more interchangeable service vehicle bodies — from tippers to water tanks — all based on the same robust 42203 C Model frame.

This mod keeps the compact size and charm of the original C Model, but adds new play value and realism for LEGO Technic fans who enjoy municipal service vehicles.
