- “Okey-dokey, J.J.!”
- ―Trix's catchphrase
Trix is a violet forklift lorry who works for J.J. at his yard. She occasionally helps out Bob, Wendy and the machines.
Personality
Trix is very friendly. She gets most of her advice from J.J. She is quite energetic as Scrambler and Benny and often gets her work wrong. She is not that calm inside but worries when something goes wrong. She often makes some mistakes. She takes her work like fun.
