Lofty (2015 Series)

Lofty is one of Bob's machines and a 17-year-old blue mobile crane truck from the television show, Bob the Builder.
He is voiced by Steven Kynman (who also voices Fireman Sam, Elvis Cridlington, Norman Price, Derek Price, Charlie Jones, Jerry Lee Cridlington and Lambykins in Fireman Sam since season 6 and Duck in Thomas & Friends) in the UK and Richard Ian Cox in the US.
== Personality ==
Lofty is a nervous mobile crane with a vivid imagination and a bit of a worrisome nature, so he tends to question some of the more extravagant ideas the team come up with. He has a keen eye for building and is often finding solutions to problems, although he tends to be shy in coming forward.
== Trivia ==
* In the new series, he speaks with a Cornish/Irish accent in the UK dub.
* In the original show, he hasn't got a silver stripe over his grille.
* Lofty shares his UK voice actor, Steven Kynman, with Duck, Porter, etc. from Thomas & Friends (another property from Mattel).
* Lofty shares his US voice actor, Richard Ian Cox, with Crabby the Pumper Truck from Firehouse Tales, and Snails, Featherweight, etc, from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
* According to a YouTuber called James A Williams, he states that Lofty is no longer cowardly, has become completely sarcastic, cynical, intelligent, isn't scared of anything anymore, and does not even say "Er" or "Uh" before his words like "Yeah, I think so" anymore somehow. He still retains a nervous nature.
* A small running gag throughout the third season is that Lofty will blame anything strange on aliens, particularly if a certain situation lacks any initial logic.
