UGears Fire Truck with Ladder is a self-propelled dynamic model that works just like a true fire truck. This model belongs to the class of the new generation of UGears kits. It is much more sophisticated, and its mechanical moving parts are more real.

The UGears Fire Truck with Ladder model kit is made of sustainably sourced high-grade wood and has everything you might need for assembly. The pieces are laser cut out of plywood boards and have to be popped out and assembled to create the model.

The model functions like a real fire and rescue with a telescoping ladder that transforms into a crane with a hook. This model runs, shifts, steers, and accelerates just like a real truck. First ‘fuel up’ by turning the lever on top of the cab. Then ‘start’ the engine with the shifter in ‘idle’ and see four pistons moving underneath the folding hood. Open the cabin door to find a fully-functioning steering wheel and even a working gas pedal.

Ready for a ride? Shift the transmission into ‘forward’ or ‘reverse’ and watch your truck head out on a call. The engine is equipped with the retractable 3-Section fire ladder on a rotating platform. When fully extended, the ladder has a length of 27.5 in. The ladder has several controls, press the lever to lift it up then turn the platform to the right or to the left. Fix the selected position with a special ratchet. All three sections of the ladder can be extended ahead. Ascend the ladder and you’ll find a crane with hook at the end.

+

Like all other UGears kits, the Fire Truck with Ladder comes with step-by-step, full-color, truly easy to follow instructions in 11 languages (English, German, Ukrainian, French, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Italian, Chinese and Korean) and requires neither glue nor special tools to be assembled into a fully functional firefighting machine.

537 pieces, 13.6 x 7.9 x 4.9 inches when finished. Assembly time: ~14 hours. Recommended age: 14+

Giving Back

At Charlie + Wobbs, trees are kinda our thing. Not only do trees provide the beautiful pieces of wood that goes into all of our products, but they also help provide the cardboard our boxes are made from, the paper packing material to keep everything safe during shipment, the cardstock our flyers are printed on, the paper towels used during production, and most importantly, the air we breathe just to be alive. We'd kinda be up a creek without a paddle, wooden or otherwise, without them. When properly managed, trees are an amazing and 100% renewable resource... really the ultimate renewable resource; products derived from them literally grow on trees! And to help preserve them Charlie + Wobbs pledges to donate one percent of the revenue of every order to non-profit organizations whose missions are sustainable forestry and mitigating the effects of climate change. This way we can help keep the forests of the world growing forward.
