Kramer, an affiliate company of Wacker Neuson, manufactures compact wheel loaders, telescopic wheel loaders and telehandlers. Last year, John Deere and Kramer announced that the compact all-wheel steer loaders, telescopic wheel loaders and telehandlers under the Kramer brand will be sold through the John Deere sales network as part of a strategic alliance.

The product series by Kramer includes compact all-wheel steer loaders (eight models), telescopic wheel loaders (four models) and telehandlers (11 models).

New telehandlers

The two new telehandlers, the KT407 and the KT429, slot into the middle of the company’s range. Both are powered by the same Deutz L4 engine, producing 136hp. In addition, both have a hydraulic oil supply of 140l/min.

The smaller KT407 has a 4t lift capacity up to a height of 7m. On the other hand, the KT429 has a maximum lift capacity of 4.2t, a lift height of 8.75m and a maximum operating weight of 10.5t. A 187l/min hydraulic pump comes as an option.

New compact loader

The KL60.8 is the latest addition to the compact loader range. It’s powered by a stage IV 3.6l Deutz TCD engine (134hp/110kW) that uses DOC and SCR exhaust after-treatment. The loader also comes with the option of being equipped with a 4.1-litre Deutz TCD engine that churns out 154hp (115 kW).

The loader has a continuously variable hydrostatic high-speed transmission with a 45° turning angle of the hydraulic motor. The ecospeedPRO travel drive is equipped with intelligent Smart Driving engine rpm reduction. This allows the engine speed to be reduced to 1,550 rpm at maximum travel speed.

The machine has a hydraulic oil flow of 150l/min with the option of going up to 180l/min. The loader has a new cab with a 7in LCD display with an integrated rearview camera.
