Mine Loader

42049-1 Technic 2016 476 parts 2.3% Intermediate

The LEGO Technic Mine Loader (42049-1), a 476-piece set from 2016, explores underground operations with a robust 2-in-1 vehicle. This model showcases a classic yellow and black color scheme, featuring large wheels with substantial tires suitable for rugged terrain. Its detailed engine includes moving pistons and a spinning fan, bringing mechanical realism to the build. Operators utilize the articulated central steering mechanism to maneuver into position, then activate the versatile working grabber to lift and load simulated heavy cargo, such as the included red barrel. The driver's cab is detailed with an orange warning beacon for authenticity. For an alternative construction, the entire model rebuilds into an impressive Mine Cutting Machine, offering varied display and interaction. The completed Mine Loader measures over 37 cm long.
