Product Information

Full details

The Bruder Cat Wheel Loader is designed for young builders aged three and up who love imaginative construction play. Its key benefit is providing realistic material-handling simulation with authentic details and functional parts, fostering coordination and creativity. A small caveat is the presence of small parts, making it unsuitable for children under three years old. This robust, 1:16 scale model replicates real Caterpillar wheel loaders, featuring articulated steering, a functional loading arm, and a tilting bucket for scooping and dumping. Built from durable ABS plastic with large tread tires, it's ready for indoor and outdoor adventures, bringing heavy-equipment realism to playtime.

Troubleshooting

Loading arm or bucket movement is stiff.

Check for any debris or obstructions around the pivot points of the loading arm and bucket. Gently clean the area and ensure the parts move freely. Do not force the components.

Articulated steering is not functioning smoothly.

Examine the connection point between the front and rear sections for any foreign objects. Ensure the steering mechanism is clear of dirt or obstructions.
