Lofty is a Liebherr LTM 1200-5.1 Blue Mobile Crane, who appears in Bob the Builder. He tends to get scared, always thinking he can't do things that he can, and lacks confidence. He's also the biggest, tallest and strongest member on the team.
Appearance[]
Lofty is royal blue with six black tires. He has a sky blue bumper-shaped mouth. His crane arm is often fitted with a crane hook a grabber, a wrecking ball, a magnet, a drill, or even a suction device.
Personality[]
Lofty is timid, shy and nervous but always rises to the occasion and holds up his end of the job. Plus, he is kind hearted and friendly. Lofty is probably the strongest among the Can-Do Crew, since he is a crane. Although, Lofty often forgets how strong he is. He never causes trouble, but does make some mistakes. He takes his work both seriously and relaxingly. Deep down inside, he has a strict feeling (as shown in a couple of episodes). Lofty was once afraid of heights, which he is not anymore.
