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 functions by using
the electronically pilot-operated
all-in-one joystick and the jog dial
control element. For example, the
joystick’s sensitivity can be individ-
ually adjusted with this. All rele-
vant 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 hydrostatic,
wide-angle drive system “eco-
speedPRO” with 370cc capacity for
increased tractive force and driving
dynamics which was co-developed
by Kramer. In addition to the posi-
tively known properties for hydro-
static drives, such as easy reversing,
good metering, fine controllability,
inching and brake force support, the
large conversion range of the 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 differ-
ent requirements. Smart Handling
supports the end user in efficient
and convenient operation, thus
ensuring efficient materials han-
dling on the farm. The machines
are extremely versatile in use,
whether for feeding, stacking
straw or mucking ensured by the
wide range of attachments. “Our
telehandlers can essentially be
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.
