The CATERPILLAR Multi terrain loader is truly multi-functional. Powerful, flexible and mobile: it is the number one choice for any small area. The functions of the CAT Multi terrain loader are comparable to those of the CATERPILLAR compact loader, but the Multi terrain loader has a rubber-chain drive, creating a much lower ground pressure. It is great fun seeing how precisely the chains work while you move the CAT Multi terrain loader over all types of surface, particularly when playing. The movable arm of the CAT Multi terrain loader can be locked in many positions and reach particularly high thanks to its special construction. An adaptor for at-tachments already used on several BRUDER vehicles allows the CATERPILLAR Multi terrain loader and its attached equipment to master all types of work in no time.

— Bruder trucks were on the top-10 best-seller list at Totally Thomas Toy Depot in San Diego in July 2010. “Customers really love the working parts and the German quality that so sets this toy apart,” President Cynthia Wyatt told TDmonthly. “As a Flagship dealer, we have access to Bruder’s replacement parts service, and are able to support this product end-to-end. Bruder’s service that they back us with is awesome. Not to mention we usually get next-day service when we do order from them. They are a great company to work with.”

The MACK Granite Snow Plow is known for its bulldog logo, quality, and indestructibility. The realistic driver's cabin features doors that can be opened, a tilting engine hood that provides a full view of the engine block, folding side-view mirrors, and the many add-on accessories that give these trucks their chrome look. There is also a Pennsylvania license plate and MACK mud guards. Features include a refillable tank that can open and close … perfect for clean sand or salt. A fully functional gritter with feeding screw has a on and off lever that allows sand or salt to pour out at will. The gritter can be tipped up for transport, as well as cleaning. Alongside the gritter is a movable ladder. The plow is wide, adjustable, detachable, and able to push even the thickest pile of snow aside to provide passable lanes.
The MACK Granite Snow Plow measures 25.8"x 7.3"x10.8".

The front end loader from the ROADMAX series is a sturdy toy with a design suitable for small children with many realistic functions for playing fun. The transparent driver's cab that opens from above can be equipped with a play figure. Front and back end loader are fully functional and can be locked in position. The front shovel and the rear shovel can also be tilted or moved by operating the respective lever. Fold-out support legs ensure stability and soft tires complete the picture.

The tipping driver's cab of the MAN cement mixer provides a view of the engine block. The mirrors of the driver's cab fold out and the water tank can be filled. The drum with integrated mixing spiral can be turned by operating a crank and the cement chute can be folded out. A bucket is included and tread tyres round off the image. To add to the fun of playing, the MAN cement mixer can be equipped with the Light and Sound Module [art. no.: 02801] (not included). It measures 46.5 x 26.5 x 17.5 cm.

Just like the "real thing", goods on this Mack DHL container truck can also be loaded and unloaded through the rear swing doors. Another great playing option this toy has to offer is the vehicle's swap trailer, which detaches automatically from the vehicle when the support legs are pulled out and set up to allow the lorry to move out from underneath the trailer. Separately available swap trailers allow you to realistically imitate a freight forwarding business. Another special characteristic is that you can use swap trailers as a construction kit and combine certain components with several swap trailers to form, for example, a vehicle garage. It measures 59.5 x 26.5 x 18.5 cm.

This licensed vehicle is outfitted with folding mirrors and a cab that tilts up to reveal the engine. The container  features a hinged rear and is removable,  so that other similar units can be put in its place.
