Bruder 03571 Scania Super 560R Liebherr Crane Truck w Light/Sound Module

Firstly, I give 5 star to Amazon.com that ship this item and the replacement faster than expected. I got a not proper aligned of a front wheel and Amazon.com replace me so fast. Just an hour after the complaint made-internationally shipped on the same day. Not giving any worth to their business I think.. due expensive DHL courrier cost, but for best customer satisfaction, they done it excellently. My kids love it very much and they have better sleeping night with that big toy stuff.The truck cabin has enough empty space to creatively put some electronics circuits for LEDs lighting or other attractive decoration. It done well with mine my kids too much excited triggering the LEDs button. Behind the cabin seats, there is look like a 'sleeping bed' space could be useful for further modification.Overall, the crane pole/boom well built, high quality and sturdy. But 'cracking' sound heard when they twisting the knob for lowering the boom. It need a stronger kid's hand to work it out, not so easy to counter that knob. All the mechanism of rising or lowering the poles/boom and also the winching cable got latch mechanism buy the only worries is they always off-tracked the cable out of pulley (when adding the last boom part). My kids also got fighting over when the first unit came, but they enjoy playing all these mechanism simultaneously by their bare hand, together to think and educating themselves after all. Happy with this Bruder.

This crane is the best designed toy I have ever seen. It is sturdy, well built and tons of fun for kids and really is just like the real thing. We bought for our four year old Grandson and he was jumping up and down excited. As I showed him how it worked and extended the boom to it's highest, he must have said WOW! a hundred times. I know it seems expensive and it is, but it is worth the price. The Germans know how to build real cars and toy trucks. Our Grandson will get other Bruder toys now for birthdays and Christmas.

This crane was purchased for a 4 year old grandson. There is no worry about him mishandling it and breaking it. He absolutely loves the crane. He uses it for lifting his other toys, and for "rescuing" toy soldiers by dropping them a line. He loves the lights which can be turned on or off, and varied. He has already learned to deploy the stabilizer jacks for his heavier lifts. While the initial cost is more than a lot of toys, we fully expect this crane to be passed on to his little brother as he gets older.

What a high quality, scaled down version of a real piece of construction equipment.It's tough, operates smoothly, and offers lights and sounds - what more could you want??A nice touch - the crane cable (string) winding handle locks and unlocks intuitively. Holds quite a bit of weight as well.The crane hook is metal and appears to be quite tough and heavy.The plastic extension locks in place securely and does not move until you remove it. It stores on the side of the crane arm.If you (or your child) enjoy well engineered toys, this is for you.

what a wonderful toy! this is truly a show stopper and our son absolutely loves it.much more impressive in person.the lights come with the toy which is a nice bonus.i was a bit hesitant to pay $100 for a plastic toy but it's much more durable and well constructed than anticipated. compared to his other trucks which retail for $20-$30, i think this toy at $100 is a good buy. this crane is definitely 3-5 times as cool and intricate as his less expensive trucks.since our son is 2, we did remove the cable for safety sake but will add it back when he gets older.

The crane is just as awesome and detailed and capable as I hoped it would be. But, the second time I tried to remove the extension arm, the two little plastic nubs that the arm rests on snapped off. I would have hoped for more durability in such a well made and thought out product. I was even trying to go slow and be careful with it but it snapped both sides off anyway.Fortunately Bruder has a great spare parts store and I had a replacement boom extension within a few days. I just didn’t expect to have to replace a part so soon after getting my brand new crane. Perhaps this part that will be subject to more stress ought to be made of metal or some material that is more able to handle repeated use than the current plastic.

This Scania crane has withstood 6 months of play and is still performing well. The only piece that has broken was super glued back. It is very realistic and easy to crank for my 3 yr old. You can fill the counterweight with rice, sand, etc but even without it is pretty stable with the stabilizers extended. We've even used it as a wrecking ball crane. The knot holding the hook kept coming off so I super glued that as well and no more issues. With the crane extension it stands pretty tall. It is pricey but they love it.

Love this truck! My son had this exact one for 14 years so I have now bought it for my grandson. Very well made and hours of fun for the kids.
