Telehandlers KT457 - The versatile and powerful telehandler

The Kramer KT457, specially designed for agriculture, is a versatile and powerful telescopic handler for the most demanding applications. The payload of 4.5 t and the stacking height of 7 m ensure top performance of the vehicle. Designed for high handling performance, the machine absorbs transverse forces through the lateral support of the telescopic arm during pushing operations with the loading system lowered. The powerful traction drive enables trailer loads of up to 20 t and a top speed of up to 40 km/h.
