Mechanical crane with winch

Price range: £135.00 through £142.50

Lift, Learn, and Create with the Mechanical Crane with Winch!

The Mechanical Crane with Winch material pack is a hands-on, interactive activity designed for Key Stage 2 classrooms. Children will construct their very own working crane, complete with a winding winch, learning how simple machines use levers, pulleys, and gears to lift loads. Along the way, they’ll develop problem-solving skills, teamwork, and a deeper understanding of mechanical systems in action. Creativity comes to life as children personalise their cranes, while STEM learning is embedded through real-world engineering concepts. Engaging, educational, and fun — this project is the perfect way to inspire budding engineers!
