42009

LEGO Technic set 42009, “Mobile Crane MK II”, depicts a mobile construction crane built around visible Technic mechanisms. Released in 2013 within the Technic theme, it contains 2607 pieces and includes no minifigures.

Set 42009 belongs to the Technic theme, where structural building, motion transfer and mechanical functions are central. The model represents a mobile construction crane, with a heavy vehicle chassis and a lifting superstructure, so its identity is based on engineering features rather than scene building.

The set contains 2607 pieces and no minifigures. The build uses Technic beams, axles, gears and body panels to create a functional vehicle model. Features associated with the subject include stabilizers, rotation of the crane superstructure, raising of the boom and operation of the winch.

It is suited to builders interested in construction vehicles, mechanical models and Technic sets that can be displayed as well as operated. Within a Technic collection, it sits among large functional machines, with the main interest placed on the crane’s movements rather than characters or decorative setting.
