Lofty – a crane. Lofty, the third machine who lacks the confidence shown by the others; he is shy and timid, but in the 2015 reboot 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 sensitive side, such as being scared of dinosaurs in Dino Coaster, being scared of being on camera and when he felt sorry for Muck when Thud and Crunch were grumpy and rude to Muck in Mega Machines and tell them and they hurt Muck's feelings and thanks to him Muck, Thud and Crunch became the best of friends.
He is number 3.
