No Challenge too big
Whether lifting heavy loads, compacting soil, clearing snow, sweeping roads or even cutting hedges, compact equipment from Weidemann, Kramer and Wacker Neuson simplifies daily tasks such as these for countless people around the world.
A farmer's best friend
Weidemann-branded agricultural loaders, telehandlers and telescopic wheel loaders have been making light work of agricultural, municipal and other tasks for decades. This is also evident at the Stange stud farm and livery center in Edertal in the north of Germany.
The Stange stud farm and livery center is currently home to 40 of their own Haflinger horses and 18 horses in livery, which adds up to a lot of hard work.
Life is good for the Haflinger horses at the Stange stud farm and livery center in Edertal in the north of Germany. Unlike their predecessors that had to draw heavy loads, the 40 Haflingers and 18 horses in livery now live a comfortable life at the farm stables.
Sisters Diana Stange and Bianca Fuchs are the managers of this second-generation family business. They rely on the compact 1140 Hoftrac for their work around the stables. Depending on the task at hand, they often attach a shear grab, a light materials bucket, a surface planer, a pallet fork or a bale spear. There was just one thing that used to bother them: When switching attachments, they had to couple and uncouple the hydraulic hoses every single time. To simplify this task, the sisters decided to equip the machine and its attachments with the new Easy Coupler System (ecs) from Weidemann. “Switching attachments is child’s play now – we don’t even have to leave the driver’s seat,” enthuse Diana Stange and Bianca Fuchs.
At last we have a technical innovation that actually makes switching attachments fun.

Comfort in safety
Kramer equipment is used for a wide variety of tasks in the agricultural and construction sectors. The brand stands for all-wheel steer loaders, telescopic wheel loaders and telehandlers offering excellent maneuverability, off-road performance and superb materials handling efficiency.
Kramer machines are trusted in Switzerland too. In the Bernese Oberland, the team operating the historic Jungfrau Railway relies on Kramer wheel loaders at altitudes exceeding 2,000 meters.
Jungfrau Railway: Kramer machines also provide valuable services at an altitude of 2,000 meters.
The Jungfrau Railway, a historic cogwheel railroad and popular tourist attraction, has been in operation since 1912, transporting passengers from Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch, Europe's highest railroad station. Spanning nine kilometers, the railway ascends almost 1,400 meters in altitude. At the Kleine Scheidegg and Eigergletscher stations, Kramer wheel loaders have been in operation for a number of years, with the recent addition of the 5085 wheel loader. These machines primarily handle loading and unloading of rail cars and distribution of goods to nearby restaurants and hotels. During the winter months, the wheel loaders are equipped with a snowplow or blower attachment to clear snow.
The perfect fit – every time
It’s hard to miss them: Wacker Neuson’s yellow-colored light and compact equipment is a fixed feature on construction sites the world over. Wacker Neuson’s mission is to be a reliable solution provider. The company engages closely with its customers to innovate and optimize its portfolio, always with the aim of making daily life on construction sites a lot easier.
In order to protect the environment, workers and local residents, Wacker Neuson is continuously expanding its increasingly popular zero emission portfolio. The Munich-based construction company Nibler was keen to find out just how good zero emission products are in practice. So in 2023, Wacker Neuson helped it to set up an urban construction site in the north of Munich with battery-powered excavators, wheel loaders and compaction equipment Feedback from Nibler’s first zero emission project was positive: no noticeable differences in handling or performance, but a dramatic drop in noise levels.
The Munich-based construction company Nibler put zero emission light equipment, excavators and wheel loaders to the test and was
impressed with the results.
Wacker Neuson is convinced that zero emission machines are not just suited to projects with very specific requirements; they also offer a host of benefit for everyday tasks on regular inner-city construction sites and beyond. It is hardly surprising therefore that electric products are gaining traction on construction sites throughout Europe and in other regions of the world.
