Bruder MACK Granite Liebherr Kran-LKW | 02818, Assorted Colours

I bought this crane for my son's 4th birthday in April 2012, he still plays with it nearly daily. The crane is both highly realistic and fairly durable - the truck windscreen sun shade snapped-off within the first few hours of play, but since then it has remained intact. As the hook is fairly hefty I fashioned some slings from string and miniature chain from B&Q so that we can lift toy cars, playmobile stuff and firewood. Playmobile people are almost the same scale and fit in the cabs as drivers, which has greatly increased the play-value for my son. The outriggers are only really decorative and provide some additional stability with the truck wheels on the ground, rather than the crane operating whilst stood on the outriggers with the wheels off the ground as the real thing does. Overall a great toy.

My 4 1/2 year old has been talking about this crane after seeing on a you tube video 2 years ago. We made a deal with him - "learn to swim (properly without floats/noodles/armbands etc and we'll get it for you" He swam a width 3 weeks ago - but i needed to wait until payday to order it!! We opened the box this morning to almost delirious excitement, this is a great toy, well ,made with lots of attention to detail, tons of working parts with sensible . He's spoken of nothing else since and I would imagine he'll be taking to bed with him for the foreseeable future..... Pricey but the difference in quality to the cheaper toys he has is huge

The truck looks very impressive in reality and will make a magnificent gift. It has enough functions and moving parts (doors, bonnet, crane-parts, jacks, small lockers etc) to enable various forms of play and the crane itself is actually quite sturdy enough to lift even heavier objects. My 3-year-old son loves it to bits and won't even sleep without the truck next to his bed!

This Crane Track is exactly new, no damage! My little boy is very happy, like another new toy from this company! Is beautiful, robust, big! and of so many possibilities. Is like normal Crane no like a closed plastic where you can not open the door to do anything to put man. He love this toy from the company Bruder. And you can fix, buy more parts is great creative option. Brilliant!!!

You certainly get what you pay for. Excellent quality, wonderful product. I've stopped saying please be careful with it, because its obviously built for high energy toddlers (3/4 yr). Wish a little man had come with it but that's next on my list...will recommend to everyone who has rough and tumble children and is sick of buying other products that fall apart or need silly assembly. I also bought the noise and lights and its just the right volume i.e. I can hear my own voice when its on.

All the reviews give this crane truck 5 stars . I give it twenty five. It is so good that I just want to look at it. German engineering at its very best. I can't say enough praise for this splendid example of a super vehicle.

it is well built and a workable toy that not only generates the child's imagination but aids practical mechanical experience
