Telehandler Reviews
“The 42133 Telehandler is one of the smallest Technic sets in the 2022 range, costing just $13/£9, and – as starter sets go – it’s perfectly good. There’s working steering (although at the front rather than the rear), and a boom that can raise/lower mechanically too, whilst... More keeping the fork level. A decent entry point for the Technic range.”
“It is hard to find fault with this little set, it is a great introduction to LEGO Technic.”
Eurobricks
“The fork lifting mechanism works well and is a good introduction to the technical side of LEGO Technic. The steering is a well designed feature and again is a good way to show a technical feature is such a way that it can be understood by the target market for this set. This... More set is good both to be built as the set and also as a base to create some interesting C models. I have recently built a C model (Farm tractor with Plough) which I found very enjoyable.”

About Technic
TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
