Kramer uses cutting-edge technology for telehandlers
IN the early years of more than
the 90-year company history, the
company quickly made a name for
itself as a manufacturer of tractors.
Thanks to the company’s continu-
ous success, machines have again
been sold in agriculture since 2012
under the brand name Kramer. The
product range has been steadily
expanded since then. Mid of 2017,
Kramer has expanded its product
portfolio of telehandlers for agri-
culture by 8 models with a stacking
height from 6 to 9 m. Since January
2018, the machines are equipped
with even more innovative details
for agricultural operations of any
kind.
Starting with the cabin, a new
operating concept is used for
eight telehandler models (KT306,
KT356, KT307, KT357, KT447,
KT507, KT557, KT559). It enables
an intuitive operation of all func-
tions by using the electronically
pilot-operated all-in-one joystick
and the jog dial control element.
For example, the joystick’s sensi-
tivity can be individually adjusted
with this. All relevant vehicle data
and settings are displayed via the
new 7” display. The image of the
optional reversing camera is also
integrated into this display so
that no separate output screen is
necessary.
A special innovation used for
the models KT507 (optional),
KT557 and KT559 is the new hy-
drostatic, wide-angle drive sys-
tem “ecospeedPRO” with 370cc
capacity for increased tractive
force and driving dynamics which
was co-developed by Kramer. In
addition to the positively known
properties for hydrostatic drives,
such as easy reversing, good
metering, fine controllability,
inching and brake force support,
the large conversion range of the
Kramer telehandler up to 9 m stacking height: sturdy, versatile, efficient.
Whether the compact all-rounder or the max. power output for professional application, all nine models are made
for the versatile tasks found on farms. The telehandlers are characterized by their high level of user friendliness
and technical refinement.

45° technology also allows for
driving through the entire speed
range from 0 to 40 km/h without
shifting and thus without losses of
thrust and tractive forces.
As a standard, all models are
equipped with the driver assis-
tance system Smart Handling
with three functional modes for
different requirements. Smart
Handling supports the end user in
efficient and convenient opera-
tion, thus ensuring efficient ma-
terials handling on the farm. The
machines are extremely versatile
in use, whether for feeding, stack-
ing straw or mucking ensured by
the wide range of attachments.
“Our telehandlers can essentially
be described with three char-
acteristics: sturdy, versatile and
efficient. We are very pleased
that we were able to expand and
continue to develop our agricul-
tural product portfolio with these
machines. This allows us to meet
customer needs even better”,
says Karl Friedrich Hauri, man-
aging director of Kramer-Werke
GmbH.
