[MOC] Mini forklift with operational lift

[shimon]

Hello everyone!

 

I would like to present you my latest MOC: The mini forklift

 

 

Features:

 

- Working lif

- Steering

- Lift tilt via lever

 

The challenge was to make the lift operatable from the vehicle even while tilted, having no space for standard mechanical solutions made me think about another solution:

A string mounted on an axle that allows certain linear movement in both directions.

Luckily the 41L string with studs fits perfectly allowing the movement range needed.

I love it, TLG should make a set like this!

Wow, really nice.

So many functions in such a tiny model... and it even looks good

Neat though might want to consider using the 8 long axles with stoppers so the forks don't slip out the bottom. 

That is if the axles used on the lift are 8 long

Absolutely perfect! Please post it on Rebrickable, I would love to build it!

Fantastic! I love those small things with lot of functionality for small scale. 

Of course, it's frustrating, that HOG is not a HOG ... but at this scale, it seems almost impossible to switch the HOG and lift knobs.

Sheer genius!  I love this little build, please make instructions of any kind, I would love to have this little model!

This is simply perfect for its scale, thanks for sharing such a nice little model

Cool tiny MOC! Nice solutions! Can you make a simple instruction please?

[The_Icestorm]

This is super cool! Love how you fit so many functions in such a small space.

This model would be a strong competitor on Lego Ideas. Even an official Technic set.
I'll try to reverse engineering this beauty.
Very good work.

Fantastic small scale build. I'm a big fan of the smaller models, for the ingenuity needed to solve the design challenges ?

Thanks for the comments!

I will make a building instructions video soon!
