Description
The Crane Truck is a great model from the Lego Technic series. It has many parts, a bunch of functions and detailed appearance that guarantee lots of fun. The lorry, with its overall length of 53 cm, belongs to the biggest Technic models ever. There are a few things, however, which I didn’t like; firstly, the lorry’s rear axes lack twin tyres; secondly, the jib and the crane itself have to be operated manually; thirdly, the outriggers have to be locked by hand. Therefore, it gets only five stars in the overall rating.
