What the eitech Truck Set Offers
The eitech Truck Set is a triple-pack of metal construction vehicles: a dump truck, a concrete mixer, and a garbage truck. Each model is built from over 810 metal parts and is designed for children aged 8 and up. Assembly tools and an illustrated step-by-step instruction manual are included, so you can start right away.
Step-by-Step Assembly Overview
Each vehicle shares a similar build process. Follow these general steps, then refer to the included manual for model-specific details.
- Prepare Your Workspace: Clear a flat, well-lit surface. Open the box and lay out all metal parts, screws, and tools. The kit includes everything you need, so no extra tools are required.
- Start with the Chassis: Each truck begins with a metal frame. Follow the illustrated manual to attach the profiled tires and axle assemblies. The tires are designed to stay playable after assembly.
- Build the Cab and Body: Assemble the driver's cab using the metal panels. The cab can fit figures up to 4.5 cm tall (not included), allowing for role-play. Next, build the truck body: the dump truck has a tipping body, the concrete mixer has a rotating mixing drum, and the garbage truck has a manual tipping function.
- Add Moving Parts: Attach the tipping mechanism for the dump truck, the drum for the concrete mixer, and the tipping function for the garbage truck. These moving parts are what make each vehicle functional after assembly.
- Final Assembly and Play: Double-check all screws are tight. The vehicles are fully playable once built. The manual shows how each moving part works.

Assembly Tips for Each Vehicle
The dump truck's tipping body is straightforward: attach the hinge and lever mechanism as shown in the manual. The concrete mixer's rotating drum requires careful alignment of the gear and axle so the drum spins freely. The garbage truck's manual tipping function uses a simple lever; ensure the lever moves smoothly before securing the body panels. If a part feels tight, recheck the manual for correct orientation.

The supplied information confirms that the kit includes over 810 parts, assembly tools, and an illustrated manual. It also confirms that each vehicle has moving parts (tipping body, rotating drum, manual tipping) and that the cab fits figures up to 4.5 cm tall. The catalog does not specify the exact number of steps per vehicle, the time required for assembly, or whether the models can be disassembled and rebuilt.
