SED saw the launch of Kramer's new telehandler range

Kramer plans to introduce a range of seven models with heights ranging between six metres and 17 metres. The range was introduced in Germany last September, but the models at SED were on show for the first time in the UK.

“With the extensive experience we have in four-wheel steering technology and the know-how in telescopic wheel loaders, the telehandlers are a logical addition to our existing portfolio”, Karl Friedrich Hauri, the managing director of Kramer-Werke explained.

To a large extent the telehandlers painted in Kramer yellow will be sold to the construction industry via Kramer's existing sales network in Europe.
Kramer's strong partner for sales in agriculture will be Claas in Harsewinkel, Germany, which will sell the telehandlers painted in green and white and which is involved in the company by means of a minority interest.

This cooperation is hoped will give both parties enormous advantages. Over the next few years Kramer expects turnover to increase by 100 percent, of which over 40 percent will be result from the telehandlers.

“The production facilities we have now will no longer be sufficient for production of the entire telehandler range. We plan to build new facilities in the Überlingen area on a medium-term basis,” says Martin Buyle, managing director at Kramer.
