Set up the Kullerbü Construction Zone Play Track without frustration. Follow these steps to assemble the track, position the crane, and start hauling loads.

Quick answer

Build the Kullerbü Construction Zone Play Track by first sorting the track pieces and crane parts, then assembling a flat base loop, and finally attaching the rotating crane where it can reach the track. Test the ball flow before adding figures or loads.

Why the crane position matters more than track length

The 360° rotating crane is the centerpiece of this set, so where you place it determines how much of the track it can serve. Put the crane near a straight section or a gentle curve rather than at the far end of a long run. That way, children can swing the crane over the track to lift and lower loads without stretching or knocking over nearby pieces.

A common mistake is building the longest possible track first and then trying to fit the crane in afterward. Instead, decide the crane's spot early, build the track around it, and leave enough open floor space for the crane arm to rotate freely.

Keep the first build simple and stable

Resist the urge to use every piece on the first attempt. A short, flat loop with wide curves gives you a stable base and lets you check that the ball rolls smoothly. Once that works, add elevation or extra curves one at a time.

Also check that all track connectors are pushed fully together. A small gap can derail the ball and make children think the set is broken when it only needs a firmer press.

Step-by-step setup

Sort pieces by type: Empty the box and group straight tracks, curves, connectors, crane parts, and any figures or loads. Check the parts against the included instructions before building. Missing a small connector is the most common reason a track feels wobbly, so count them first.
Choose a flat, open area: Build on a hard, level floor or a large play mat. Avoid carpets, which can make track sections uneven and cause the ball to stall. Clear at least a arm's length of space around the build area so the crane can rotate freely.
Assemble a simple base loop: Connect a few straight pieces and wide curves into a closed loop. Press each joint firmly until you feel it click or seat fully. Run a ball around the loop by hand before adding anything else; if it stops, check for gaps or upside-down pieces.
Position the rotating crane: Place the crane base beside a straight section or gentle curve where the arm can swing over the track. Lock it in place according to the instructions. Rotate the crane through its full 360° range before continuing; move it if it hits any track or furniture.
Add height and extra curves gradually: Once the flat loop works, add support blocks or elevated sections one at a time. Test the ball after each change. If the ball derails after a change, undo only the last addition rather than rebuilding the whole track.
Introduce figures and loads: Place construction figures and loads near the crane. Show children how to use the crane to lift and lower items onto the track. Keep small loads away from the track path unless they are designed to ride on it.
