LEGO Technic 42088 Cherry Picker is a 2019 set depicting a compact aerial work platform.

Set 42088 Cherry Picker sits within LEGO Technic, a theme focused on vehicles, machines, and visible mechanical construction. The model represents a cherry picker, a service vehicle used to reach elevated work areas.

Its subject is conveyed through a small work vehicle and a raised arm with a basket, the defining feature of a cherry picker.

This set is suited to Technic collectors, builders interested in compact utility vehicles, and displays of worksite or service equipment. Within the Technic range, 42088 can be placed alongside trucks, construction machines, and maintenance vehicles. Its role is that of a small, self contained model rather than a figure based play scene.
