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

4yr old thrilled. Bday present. Truck is sturdy, makes noise, has a hook and boom that extends and retracts with ease. No frustrations. Loves the stabilizers.

This truck is huge! This is our first experience with Bruder trucks and we will be acquiring more. This was bought as a gift for a 5yo boy. Having never seen this in person we depended on all the reviews. This truck is highly detailed and realistic. It is made of plastic but after 5 days has remained intact. In a lot of reviews people have stated that how their kids have quickly broke these trucks. We did take time to show our 5yo and 6yo how to operate this crane. They were very excited and really enjoyed the realism of the crane. They even had a relative show them the appropriate hand signals to operate the crane and almost refuse to move the crane if you don't use the right hand signals. When fully extended the boom reaches over 60 inches so be prepared to have some room. Even the older kids and several adults have been caught playing with this. Hint: don't force anything. If something isn't working or moving then you are doing something wrong. Show your kids how to play with it and you will be rewarded with hours of joy.UPDATE!!! Just wanted to give a 8 month update. This crane has seen a lot of work from building log homes on dressers to moving large loads like the Bruder Bulldozer or GI Joe Tank. Our 5 year old still gets tons of enjoyment out of this crane. So far nothing has been broken off of it. We still believe that proper instruction on toys have saved a lot of destruction. This crane is kept inside and all kids love playing with it.

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.

We purchased two of these cranes as Christmas presents for my two grandsons, and they love them. They're very detailed and functional, and the boys also have several other similar scale pieces of construction equipment so they can really be pretty creative. Because of the detail I can see where there can be some issues if subjected to very rough play and stress as some have commented on. Which brings me to customer service. The boys opened them together and immediately started playing with them, but when we grown boys started to play we found a small piece at the end of the fixed boom extension had broken so the long extension couldn't be properly attached. Upon looking around we found it in the box. I was going to send it back to Amazon for a replacement, but they were out of stock, so I emailed Bruder Spare Parts Service on 12-25. They replied the next day and were very courteous. I send a snap shot of the piece, and having confirmed we had the right part, it was shipped out that day--all at no charge. In addition they sent a link to installation instructions and video which were very helpful. Thanks for the very courteous and timely service.

My son loved it he said it’s his favorite toy will buy again.

The 3 year old who received this for Christmas was really impressed. He loves trucks, and cranes in particular. He picks up all kinds of things with the crane and likes to put a variety of his little people in the cab to drive the truck. He likes the doors opening and the lights and sound as well as the operating crane, which is huge. This child is fairly thoughtful and careful, but he only plays with it with adult supervision right now since he has a baby brother who could potentially get into trouble with it. That is fine because his dad loves playing with trucks too. When both little boys get older I think it will be just as interesting and retain its play value. I was told it is made of expanded styrene so it is very light for its size but some parts of it seem just a little bit flimsy. This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise it seems to be well made, highly detailed and encourages creative play. I hope the long crane and doors do not snap off before the boys get old enough to really appreciate the fine details.

Grandson loves construction toys and trucks. Tough to sort out choices online. This one seeemed right...and delivered! 4 year old grandson immediately started playing with this, picking up items, swinging them around, dropping them in location and even taking it to his room at night as "the" treasured toy. All of his other versions are high end as well, so this won out by virtue of design and appeal, not just due to being a pricey toy. Bruder really delivered with this thing.
