The Kramer wheel loader KL18.5 while having a road trip with a straw bale.

Wheel loader KL18.5 - Stacking what the machine has been holding

KL18.5 impresses with its special refinements: Additional weights, called “Smart Ballast” at Kramer, which can simply be attached to the rear of the machine, enable an adjustment of the weight and thus the tipping load. By removing the weight, easy transport on a 3.5 t trailer is possible.
