BruderLinde Fork Lift H30D With 2 Pallets Age 3+

First of all I used to drive real forklift truck. I read a lot of reviews about this truck the bad thing where forks breaking off, fork slipping off outer ends and forklift to light at the back of the truck. So what i did first was get to black hair bands and put them tight around the ends where the forks slides across. Next thing I did was take forks off got to Allan keys making sure they fit tight under neath the forks cut Allan keys to size then put super clue on first then pushed Allan keys tight in places then left to dry. Ok come to adding some more weight to the back of the truck all I did was got a bolt cut it to the right length a nut on one end filled the bolt with washers to give that extra weight then just bolted throw the roll cage at back of the truck so easy to do. If the forklift was drop from height I would say the forks would snap off am afaid there his Notting you can do about that.

This was the first Bruder toy that I purchased for my then three year old son, and made Bruder the go to toy company for my sons toys. This forklift was amazing value and was actually a lot bigger than I thought it would be given the price.The forks move up and down with a nifty motion involving string or elastic which appear very duralble. The forks can also be widened or moved closer together depending on what you are picking up, and the whole fork assembly also tips forwards and backwards for balance!The forklift also has rear wheel steering that can be controlled by a knob on the back of the forklift, and it comes with two pallets for lifting too!The only potential downside I noticed was that although the forks could be widened, there was nothing to stop them falling off of you widened them to far, and sure enough the forks got misplaced! I thought all was lost until I found out that Bruder sell spare parts for their toys, including forks for this forklift! Which fit just like the originals! No more disposing of toys, and this forklift is still going strong!Please note the winch on the rear of the forklift did not come with this toy but with the replacement forks set!

I knew he'd love it, have bought this make many times (plenty second hand as they last so well) I bought for my grandson and, as predicted, he lives it. Great little toy.

My grandson was pleased with our choice. The Bruder range are excellent quality and great fun for youngsters

I bought this product as a gift for my 28 year old boyfriend, who is a forklift driver by trade as a small joke. Jokes on me now though, as its take centre pride on the mantel and I keep coming home to him playing on the living room floor, transporting and packing away the TV remotes or whatever else is lying down. Good thing is, however, is that it is a sturdy model, clearly with a great deal of playability and lifelike details and mechanisms.

Bought this to demonstrate the principles of counter balance and load stability to my trainees (i am a plant trainer and do a lot of training novices on forklifts) it is ideal for the job the forks go up and down the steering works, but only has limited lock and the mast tilts just like the real thing. Or you could just play with it has small detachable parts so is not suitable for small children. Hen Joy.

Bought in 2016, it has lasted 2 years of very enthusiastic playing. Yes, the forks can come off and get lost, but you can buy new ones. The mast on ours is quite worn now, but you can buy spare parts so anyone with an ounce of mechanical aptitude can keep these toys serviceable. Some of the reviews are unfair, this is a plastic toy for £15. You get a lot for your money and if it gets broken, you can buy reasonably priced spares from Bruder. What's not to like?!

IT LOOKS OK BUT THERE IS SOMETHING LOOSE IN THE BOX.I HOPE ITS NOT A BROKEN PART.AS ITS FOR A PRESENT I DO NOT WANT TO OPEN IT AS THE PACKAGE IS VERY SECURELY SEALED AND ENCASED IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE. IF AT XMAS I FIND IT IS BROKEN I SHALL BE LOOKING TO RETURN IT.
