Its small size and the greatly extendable telescopic arm are exactly what make it the number one choice for many different locations of use. The CAT model is carefully controlled with four accentuated silver turning handles. Besides the adjustable arm height, the extendibility of the arm and alterability of the angle of the tool holder, the telescopic loader has fully functional four-wheel steering. This makes steering both the CAT telescopic loader and the Bruder model as easy as child's play.

Review: Process improvements for packaging/shipping - Product arrived with different tape than desertcart original tape to exterior box and the interior toy box was crushed. Toy intact. Seems like packaging/shipping process improvement needs. Great toy!
Review: Very sturdy feeling and high quality. - I purchased this for my 3 year old son, who LOVES construction vehicles. I was used to cheesy plastic trucks with spinning wheels and not much else, and expected this to be similar but with more cranks and knobs. I was pleasantly surprised after receiving this toy in the mail. I love this thing so far, and so does my son. In fact, I will probably buy some more from the collection as time progresses (or sales pop up). Here are my "engineering" notes: * The plastic is a hard, glossy type with a high quality feel (similar to some z-tech toys my kids have). The thickness makes it very sturdy feeling. * The steering knob turns ALL 4 WHEELS at once (4 wheel steering) making it turn on a dime. * Tires are rubbery feeling and "squish" like tires when under load. They are not air filled, but use a stiffer sidewall to mimic a pneumatic tire. * Wheels appear to use bushings instead of being thrown loosely on the axle. They spin very smoothly without any wobbling, unlike most of the other trucks we have. * ALL moving parts are crank/gear driven, and all work very smooth (no binding). * Worm gears APPEAR to be designed to skip teeth gracefully instead of break if a child forces something without turning the crank. I'm not ready to test this yet, but will trust my engineering instinct. * The cabin door opens and a GI-Joe sized figure fits perfectly inside.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it fit with the bruder accesories/**
A: I did not have any accessories with mine. But I checked that the scoop can be detached so I am guessing the fork lift accessories May fit there.

**Q: Is there button for sound or lights? Thanks!**
A: No, not on this model. On some bruder trucks you can add a roof rack that snaps into the sunroof of the truck, that has flashing lights and sound. If you look at bruder light and sound module on here you can see what I mean.

**Q: Do the doors open?**
A: Yes the door opens.

**Q: Does the Trlehandler come with a Forklift attachment or just the scoop?**
A: Ours just had the scoop. You might be able to find other attachments by looking on the Bruder website under parts. I bought many parts from them. They are inexpensive and arrive right away.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very cool...Lots of Moving Parts
*by G***N on December 5, 2013*

We have TEN Bruder construction toys so this review is going to show up in all ten places. These are all very well made with extreme attention to detail. They are made of plastic and of course could be broken but they have a smart design and are reasonably durable. The mirrors on the Mack dump truck are probably the weakest item, but if they were to break off the truck would be otherwise functional. Toys break. We have the cement truck, skid steer loader, log truck, mack truck, tractor trailer with bulldozer, backhoe, two different types of excavators, an articulating front end loader, fire engine, and something called a tele-extender. These all have so much intriguing detail that the kids are immediately drawn to them. They all have moving parts that allow them to perform their real world functions. There are detents built in to hold position, so for example with the bulldozer, backhoe and front loader, the blades can be fixed and held in several different positions. As far as toys go, these are expensive but even a three year old understands from the detail that these are different that the coarser, simpler $20 equivalents. These clearly look like the "real" things. We've all had a lot of fun with these.
