Loads more from Kramer

Compact they may be, but the recently launched Kramer Allrad 650 and 550 wheel-loaders are said to be designed to handle weighty construction matters. Both machines are made for the 0.6m³ class, have all-wheel steering mechanisms to reduce material handling time, and are also fitted with a non-articulated chassis, said by Kramer to ensure high stability due to the constant centre of gravity. Both the 650 and the 550 have hydrostatic drive.

Kramer Allrad 650
Compact they may be, but the recently launched 4849 Kramer Allrad 650 and 550 wheel-loaders are said to be designed to handle weighty construction matters.

Both machines are made for the 0.6m³ class, have all-wheel steering mechanisms to reduce material handling time, and are also fitted with a non-articulated chassis, said by Kramer to ensure high stability due to the constant centre of gravity. Both the 650 and the 550 have hydrostatic drive.

Like its smaller brother the 550, the 650 has a parallel telescopic arm for maximum reach, enabling loads such as pallets to be moved in and out from the second row.

An optional stabiliser also increases safety and comfort, while simultaneously protecting the machine.
