Wagon Cranes are pieces of rolling stock equipped with a mechanical crane arm for grabbing and lifting things. There are two different kinds of them in Chuggington; large ones and smaller red ones.
Big Wagon Cranes[]
The Big Wagon Cranes are wagons designed for lifting large items such as logs. They have a wide reach, partly due to their crane sections having the ability to spin around 360 degrees.
Technical Details[]
Basis[]
While it is likely that some inspiration was taken in the creation of the big wagon cranes, there is no exact basis for them.
Livery[]
The big wagon cranes are typically painted bright yellow with green footplates; however, in the third season, a blue variant with red accents and a grey footplate was introduced.
