This is looking very cool.

I must have been living under a rock as I never knew about any of this.... Can somebody copyright a design of a MOC?

My plan for this is as a base for some MOCS, thinking with some different bodies / features.

Maybe LEGO needs an adult division that focuses on builds for us?

Thanks Paul - just checked out your blog - i like your idea of a modular truck base that allows the attachment of different functions.

I am glad you like it. I am working on another attachment at the moment.

That is very interesting and a good use of LEGO Technic.

Modular Truck Attachment System (MTAS) - Rubbish Bin Loader

The Modular Truck Attachment System (MTAS) is a system I am designing to allow different truck bodies / functions to easily be added / removed from a basic truck setup.

My first attachment is a rubbish bin loader, this is what is used here for our weekly rubbish collection. In this case I have used forks instead of a claw.

Functions:
- Lift and empty bin
- Tilt and empty rear body.

Both functions are controlled by knobs on the side of the body.

[Modular Truck Attachment System (MTAS) - Truck]

The Modular Truck Attachment System (MTAS) is a system I am designing to allow different truck bodies / functions to easily be added / removed from a basic truck setup.

I have now completed the truck which will be used as the basis for this, it is based on a C model of set 42075 which was designed by "iiLego". 
I have added / improved some features:
- Hand of God Steering.
- Single cylinder engine which is mounted under the cabin.
- Tilting cabin, this locks open.

I also made some general changes:
- Longer chassis.
- Minor colour changes.
- Remove engine and moved this to under the cabin.
- Removed A model stickers.
- Rear wheels are now half a stud wider.
- Added mounting points for different bodies and functions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[MOC - Modular Truck Attachment System - WIP]

My progress on this has been slowed by some other sets to build and "real life" being busy.

The good news is that I have almost finished the truck and my first attachment is also close to being completed.
