Excavators and Backhoe Loaders

Excavators handle digging, trench work and loading with moving arms and buckets where those functions are fitted. Backhoe loaders combine a front loader with rear digging equipment, giving one vehicle two different jobs.

Choose between compact machines for smaller work areas and larger excavators for deeper digging and heavier site scenes. Check whether the body rotates, the supports lower and the bucket or arm moves before deciding which functions matter most.

Loaders and Telehandlers

Wheel loaders, compact loaders and telehandlers move loose materials, pallets and equipment around the site. Their lifting systems differ, so compare the reach, bucket, forks and steering shown for each vehicle.

Telehandlers lift loads higher and farther forward, while loaders work closer to ground level. A compact loader suits tighter spaces and can sit naturally beside larger trucks and excavators.

Dump Trucks, Tippers and Site Transport

Construction trucks carry soil, rubble, machinery and site materials. Tipping bodies, low loaders and removable transport platforms each recreate a different site job.

The truck body and load system matter more than the cab name. Check what tips, detaches, opens or carries, along with any trailer or loading vehicle included in the set.

Cranes, Cement Mixers and Roadwork Vehicles

Cranes lift materials into place, cement mixers handle concrete work, and rollers prepare the ground or road surface. Working drums, booms, supports and rotating sections vary by vehicle.

These machines help move play beyond digging alone. They create the sequence of preparing the ground, delivering materials, lifting them and finishing the surface.

Workers, ROADMAX and Related Vehicles

Bruder bworld construction workers and municipal figures add people to the site and fit 1:16 Professional series vehicles. Bruder ROADMAX provides separate construction vehicles for children aged 2 years and above.

Service vehicles that clean streets or handle municipal work belong in Bruder Commercial. Use the main Bruder collection when you need to compare construction vehicles with the other official themes.
