About LEGO Backhoe Loader

Young builders can operate a fully functional backhoe loader with working scoop and rear digger. The model features a front-mounted scoop that lifts and lowers using a control knob, plus a rear digger arm and deployable outriggers for realistic construction site play.

Built from 104 pieces, this Technic model introduces children aged 7 and up to basic engineering principles through hands-on construction. The working mechanisms demonstrate how real construction equipment operates, making it both educational and entertaining.

Build and Play Features

The backhoe loader incorporates multiple moving parts that mirror real construction machinery. The front scoop can be raised and lowered for loading operations, while the rear digger allows for excavation play. Outriggers deploy to provide stability during operation, just like on actual construction sites.

When complete, the model measures 10 cm high, 24 cm long and 9 cm wide with outriggers extended, creating a substantial construction vehicle perfect for imaginative building site scenarios.
