I bought this forklift for my yellow naped amazon parrot to ride on. He loves cars! He says ‘What the car say? Vroom!’I take him out for rides around the neighborhood and he sits in a special seat I made for him out of PVC. It’s his favorite thing to do. Now, he can take a ride in the living room or outdoors on his very own ‘car’.I wanted something big enough for him that he could safely grab onto while riding it. Just about everything I found was either too small or too slick – or too fast. This forklift is PERFECT!!Also, as soon as he saw it he loved it.Now, back to human use, too: This forklift is nice and sturdy, just as the description says. Made of metal where it counts.The forklift is not as fast as a race car, obviously. But that means if you’re walking around the house, you don’t have to worry about getting tripped up from a speeding R/C toy coming your way.The lights and sounds work! You can turn the sound off at the transmitter. Handy little button is clearly marked.The steering degree is adjustable, which I think is a nice feature. The adjustment is on the bottom near the battery compartment.It comes with 2 forks (obviously), which are easy to install or remove. It also comes with a crane arm, in case your little forklift operator wants to lift something by a cable.I was pleasantly surprised to find 2 pallets in the box. I had expected just 1. Small point, but it made an impression on me.Overall, it’s a very nice toy – sturdily built, attractive, pretty realistic looking, and easy to operate. I find it to be well-worth the money I spent on it.

I bought this for my 4 year old son for Christmas. It did not disappoint, he loved it. It took little time for him to get used to the controls and before long he was hauling Christmas presents all over the living room. The family took turns with it in friendly competition and we all had alot of fun. I love the metal construction and it looks and feels like a quality machine. The forks mount the same as on real forklifts and are adjustable (by hand) side to side which is nice. This R/C forklift is a ton of fun.I also purchased the Top Race Truck Carrier Slab TR-217. This trailer was an awesome addition for hauling his gifts around and it looks great. Very pleased with this product.Note: I noticed on a couple other reviews that the steering and sliding loads were issues. There are 2 buttons on the controller used to fine tune the steering. The slick finish on the forks can allow your load to slide a bit, but a strip of grip tape(Skateboard Tape) would probably help that alot.

Got this for my son for his 4th Birthday, I Know it’s recommendes for older kids but my Son was able to use it no problem. It’s noisy but other then that functions exactly as you would expect a forklift to function. My only major Ding was my original order arrived and after setting it up the toy would not turn, we contacted customer service but no solution so we asked for an exchange with Amazon and the second worked perfectly! This appears to an existing problem as I saw the same issue with other buyers in the Q&A section of the toy page so hopefully if you order the one you get won’t have this issue.

OK…. So I 100% agree with the the reviews that give it 3 stars. Great piece for the collection and Yes I wish that everything on it was made out of metal but unfortunately it lacks this on some of the most important parts of the forklift… Mast, main Rails and others are made out of cheap plastic .. this is disappointing for the price they should have consider adding more metal.NOTE: Its runs on a 2s LIPO 450MhA I will be trying it on a bigger Lipo soon I did not have one available at the time but the battery that comes with it is horrible…Fun Toy !Hope this helps improve the next Gen!

Bought this for my grandson for Christmas. He’s into construction equipment. He was excited when he opened it and could hardly wait for the battery to charge. It was simple to charge and install the battery in the bottom of the vehicle. It seems to be made out of die cast metal and is built solidly. It’s pretty powerful and maneuverable. Even the forks are metal. My grandson loved it.

This is amazing, my 21 year old boyfriend is absolutely in love with his, just know its slower than you think but its very fun to move around with the dogs enjoyed it too, it comes with two pallets and the remote control, batteries not included.Only things are that its slow, and can be EXTREMLEY loud, there is a spot on the remote where you can turn off its noises but the movement is loud. Still overall its amazingly built, sturdy as can be. 10/10
