For the 3-6 range, you basically want something that lasts through a few drops without failing—most light-up trucks can't deliver that, but this molded plastic shell handles rough indoor and outdoor play pretty well, it's been our go-to for that age bracket when the cheaper thin-shell options start cracking in a week or so.
Model SL23161 runs on 3 AA batteries and that's all it takes to get the mixer drum rotating, the headlights glowing, and the engine noise kicking in; the whole unit measures 26.6×14.6×10 cm which is a size kids actually grab easily, but don't expect it to carry more than loose Lego bricks or sand—it's not a load hauler, just a motion toy.
We usually see these moving through preschools and daycare setups where group wants something with visible action that doesn't need adult intervention every five minutes, though it's also fine as a single-kid gift for birthdays; the 2.4 kg net weight per unit means shippng is straightforward but the 60-unit master carton hits 30 kg gross, so plan your freight accordingly.
(Internatioanl safety certs like EN71 and ASTM F963 are in place before we ship, but double-check local lead times—sometimes RoHS re-verification adds 20 days or so if the sample batch gets held.) Teh plastic is durable but it's not unbreakable, so roughmouth kids who bite things are going to dent it, and that's just the material limit.
60 per carton at 79×58.5×71 cm fits a standerd pallet layer if you stack two, and 27 kg net weight means one person can slide it off a truck without a pallet jack; we've got stock usually, but confirm MOQ at 120 units for the best per-unit price, and the 5μg cadmium limit form RoHS is tighter than what many budget competitors meet, which some school buyers specifically ask about.
Also, the lights are LEDs so they last well past the battery life, but you'll go through AA batteries quicker than you'd think with sound effects running—most first-time orders don't factor that in until they're swapping packs weekly.
The MOQ is one full carton, which contains 60 units. We don't offer mixed models or smaller quantities on this item.
It's certified to EN71, EN62115, CE, RoHS, and ASTM F963 — so it's compliant for both the EU and US markets. We can provide the test reports on request.
No, the 3×1.5V AA batteries are not included. You'll need to supply them yourself — just a heads-up so there's no surprise at unboxing.
Each master carton is 79×58.5×71 cm, with a gross weight of 30 kg and net weight of 27 kg. That gives you 60 units per carton.
There's no separate on/off switch for the lights and sounds — they activate together with the vehicle. If you need a silent version, let us know and we can check if a custom batch is possible.
