Detail
On the underside there is little detail other than the three roller wheels.
The curved body shape is a nice casting with a panel handle on one side, small grilles and the graphics are crisp and clear.
The platform has a non-slip texture and the controls and instrument panel are nicely modelled.
The forks are metal.
A plastic pallet is included which is textured to represent wood.

Quality
It is entirely metal with the pallet being the only plastic part.

It is fair value given the weight of metal.

This is a simple well-made model. Although it has a changed number compared to the first run of the model (#578) it is not clear that there are any changes.
