Kramer’s new KL55.8T telescopic wheel loader has a bucket tipping load of 5.5t, a stacking payload of 3.9t and an operating weight of just over 11t.

The standard engine is a 134hp Stage V Deutz TCD 3.6, with the option of a 154hp Deutz TCD 4.1 block. All 11 telehandlers from the KT276 to KT559 also gain Stage V Deutz engines.

New features include Smart Driving, which automatically reduces the engine speed to 2,000rpm at 20km/hr and 2,300rpm at 30km/hr.
