Further Highlights

The all-wheel steering of the 8 series from Kramer.

All-wheel steering

  • High stability even at full steering lock thanks to the undivided frame
  • Maximum maneuverability thanks to steering angles of up to 40° on both the front and rear axles
  • Consistent payload independent of the steering angle for constant leverage ratios
The one piece vehicle frame of the 8 series from Kramer.

One-piece vehicle frame

  • High stability, even on rough terrain
  • Constant payload due to the constant leverage ratios. Independent of the steering angle, the payload always remains the same
  • Great maneuverability due to the high steering angle. Therefore, some steering movements are superfluous, and travel and cycle times are reduced
The dual circuit pneumatic brake system of the 8 series from Kramer.

Two-circuit pneumatic brake system

  • Pneumatic braked trailers can be towed on the road
  • Enables use of the vehicle’s maximum approved trailer load
The colour labelled switches of the 8 series from Kramer.

Color-coded switches

  • Uniformed color scheme for hydraulic, electric, driving, and safety features
  • Increased safety due to minimized danger of mixing up switches
  • Operating concept that reaches across all models to simplify the handling of the fleet
The front wheel steering of the 8 Series from Kramer.

Front axle steering

  • Safe and familiar road travel at high speed
  • Precise guidance of special attachments
  • Easy maneuvering in trailer mode
The 8 series from Kramer has an EC tractor approval.

EC tractor approval

  • Application as a towing vehicle for trailer transport with material
  • No restrictions regarding the loads alongside the separate attachments
  • It is possible to travel on the road with an attachment subject to the legal provisions
The crab steering of the 8 series from Kramer.

Crab steering

  • Easy maneuvering in confined spaces
  • Gentle driving on sensitive surfaces
  • Simple control in combination with special attachments
The dual circuit hydraulic brake system of the Kramer wheel loaders and telescopic wheel loaders of the 8 series.
