I am sorting a bulk technic lot.

I cannot relate the attached with the instructions I have.

I am reasonably sure it is not from 8258 or 8285. It after 2004 as the grey is bley.

Over to the experts........

From the pictures given I'm going to disagree with you, it looks to be from the 8258 Crane Truck. I'm not 100% sure about it, but I will go through the instructions of that set to make sure.

 

Edit: Here is a link. And the set is from 2009.

I have the instructions for 8258. Book 3 page 44 shows the chassis. The beams are grey not red.

That XL motor is only used in 4 sets, one being 8258 that uses the same color scheme.  Maybe it's an alternate build or a MOC using the same pieces?

I saw this as well as I thought it had to be 8258 but noticed the chassis on it was dark bley, not red.  I'm leaning toward it being a MOC.

I'll Peeron the set and see what that motor is in.

Maybe it is from the same set, but it was used in the alternate build for the set. I was going to check the instructions for that, but I could not find them.

Checked the alt build. Doesn't not match either.

Hmmmm I'm leaning to a moc as well. It does not match the Peeron list. 8275 is yellow! I have to build as well.

Looking at it closely, there is a grey bush in the middle of all the bley ones.

8275 is the only set that has 2 XL motors, this is a MOC.

I agree, I am dismantling it. Might make the other sets easier to build, less missing pieces!

Thanks both for your help. :)

That was fun.  I don't do too much Technic detective work.  I was sure it was 8258 until the chassis was compared and 8258 only has one motor, making it impossible to be the set.

No problem.

 

That was a well built MOC, right pain to get apart.

 

I have a few other pieces from that bulk lot I cannot identify but I have a 8258 and 8275 to build first. Sell those, then I might be able to get another GE or Maersk Ship with the proceeds
