Custom Attachment: The Rubbish Loader
This is the first of my modifications / attachments for the LEGO Technic 42203 Tipping Dump Truck. As part of this attachment, I’ve removed the original tilt tray and replaced it with a fixed rear tray, allowing for a more stable and functional design. The sides have also been removed and completely redesigned to better accommodate the rubbish loader mechanism. This same mounting standard will be used for all future attachments.
Key Features:
- Bin Loader from LEGO 42167: The rubbish loader is adapted from the mechanism found in set 42167, with some modifications to improve functionality and integration with the truck.
- Opening Top: The top section can be opened to allow access to the waste compartment, making it easy to load and unload.
- Front Storage Area: A dedicated space at the front of the truck for carrying spare bins, adding to the realism and playability.
Secure Mounting System: The entire attachment slides on and off the truck’s chassis and is secured at the front using a pin, ensuring stability while allowing for easy removal and swapping with future attachments.
Next Steps:
This is just the first of my planned attachments for the 42203 truck. I’m exploring additional modifications and attachments to further enhance its versatility.
