Kramer updates telehandler line

The Wacker Neuson subsidiary will have a busy Bauma, launching a new range of series 80 wheeled loaders as well as two compact telehandlers.

The new Series 80 loaders - which are full specification models compared to the more basic 50 series models - will replace the existing series 80- models and comprise six machines from the 380 to the 780 and including one telescoping boom model, the 680T. All the models will have 15% more tractive force and 10% more break out force than their predecessors.

The two new telehandlers, the 1245 and 2506, are compact models to add to the existing 3307, 4507 and 4009 machines. The 1245 mini-handler can lift up to 1.2 t and has a maximum lifting height of 4.5 m, but is just 2.92 m long and 1.56 m wide.

The 2506, meanwhile, is also narrow at 1.94 m, but offers lifting heights of 5.75 m and maximum payload of 2.5 t. "We now have an extremely attractive model range of offer", says Kramer product manager Andreas Breunig.
