Reviews and features
Pneumatics: The set is known for its well-functioning pneumatic system, which allows the forks to move smoothly up and down and to tilt, using a hand pump and a switch.

Building experience: According to Technicopedia, the 8843 offers a significant improvement over earlier forklift models, with a more realistic appearance and better mechanics. Reviewers note that aligning the chain must be done with extreme precision for the features to work properly.
Unique item: This is one of the few sets that contained the 'long-stroke' pneumatic cylinder, which was available only for a few years.
Play value: The set was delivered with a pallet, which greatly enhanced the play experience compared to earlier models that did not have a load. The set is 100% complete and checked, in the original box with a plastic inner tray (unique for this model) without an instruction booklet.
