LEGO 8835 Forklift, also known as TECHNIC Forklift Truck, is a Technic set released in 1989 with 240 pieces. The model builds a forklift truck with working steering and a functional lifting mechanism. The rear wheels are steered by an overhead control that turns an axle through a pair of 14-tooth bevel gears. A side crank raises and lowers the forks, and the entire fork assembly can be tipped forward to help position loads at ground level.

A new and sealed Forklift is currently valued at around $113, with annual growth of 4.5% that is expected to level off to around 2.9% in the coming year. The average used price is $20 for those in good overall condition. Recent market trends show a period of price correction, with values declining over the past year. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $115 within the next year.

“Set 8835 was released in 1989 as the 3rd Technic forklift. This forklift features rear wheel steering as well as forks which raise, lower, and tilt. Raising and lowering is accomplished via a worm driven chain. This model is similar in appearance and function to 8843... More except that the fork mechanism is gear driven rather than pneumatic.”

“This is a small Forklift from the Lego Technic series. The model is quick to set up and offers a lot of fun. However, the fork occasionally jams. This is also the reason why the rating is only four stars. But otherwise it’s a nice model.”

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.
