Constructing above its weight

The Kramer Allrad 550 wheel-loader is said to be a machine that constructs above its weight. Despite the machine’s compact design, Kramer claims it offers operators the “full loader performance” of a “big machine”. One of two recently to market Kramer machines for the 0.6m³ class, the 550 is aimed mainly at customers in the construction industry, rental fleets and local authorities.

Kramer Allrad 550 wheel-loader is a compact yet ‘big’ construction machine, according to Kramer
The 4849 Kramer Allrad 550 wheel-loader is said to be a machine that constructs above its weight.

Despite the machine’s compact design, Kramer claims it offers operators the “full loader performance” of a “big machine”. One of two recently to market Kramer machines for the 0.6m³ class, the 550 is aimed mainly at customers in the construction industry, rental fleets and local authorities.

Like the Kramer 650 compact wheel-loader, the 550 has an all-wheel steering mechanism which speeds up materials handling. The 550’s non-articulated chassis is said by Kramer to ensure high stability due to the constant centre of gravity. It also has traction drive.

Technical attributes of the 550 include the parallel telescopic arm designed to achieve maximum reach, enabling loads such as pallets to be moved in and out from the second row. Fitting an optional stabiliser also increases safety and comfort, while simultaneously protecting the machine.

  • One-touch chassis levelling and stabilisation for ROTO models
    January 6, 2017
    Italian manufacturer Merlo has developed an automatic chassis levelling and stabilisation system for its ROTO range of rotating telescopic handlers. Rather than using individual controls for each stabiliser leg, the operator pushes a button to both level the chassis and stabilise the machine for heavy lifting. This greatly reduces set-up time and increases safety.
