The base is quite odd-looking, yet very creative in design and structure. One side of the building has an orange crank-operated bucket conveyor that lifts cargo up a slanted ramp, dumps the cargo, then returns to the bottom for more. The top of the building has a yellow crane that moves along a track to transport cargo. The crane has a black chain and hook that lifts cargo from the ground to the upper level warehouse. A gas pump on the side of the building (red and white braided rope with a red plastic nozzle) keeps the accessory construction vehicles fueled for work.

The yellow crane that fits on the buildings top tracks is usually missing, as is the black chain attached to it. These two pieces make this 18-piece set (as it is called on the box and in the Dealer catalogues) a 20-piece set.
