Rubber-tired loader KL36.8

with cab

Overview The KL36.8 wheel loader from Kramer’s Premium 8 Series combines an efficient drive system, four selectable operating modes (Power, Eco, Road, CSD) and a one-piece frame for high stability and excellent manoeuvrability. Designed for diverse work situations, it offers operator-focused features for safe, productive operation.

Benefits at a glance

• Fuel savings: Selection of Power, Eco, Road or CSD can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10%
• Automatic load stabilizer: Dampens lifting-frame vibrations to improve operational comfort
• Ecospeed transmission (optional): Continuous acceleration from 0 to 40 km/h for flexible road and work performance
• Smart Attach: Fully hydraulic quickhitch plate (standard) enables attachment changes without exiting the machine
• Comfortable cabin: Dual-side access and extensive glazing provide optimal 360° visibility

Highlights

• Assistance systems: Integrated assistance functions such as attachment angle indicator and bucket/loader feedback displayed on the screen
• Operating modes: Power, Eco, Road and CSD selectable by button for optimized fuel use and noise reduction
• Smart Attach: Fully hydraulic quickhitch for automatic hydraulic coupling and rapid tool changes
• Entry/exit from both sides: Safer egress away from traffic and increased operational flexibility
• 7 in LCD display: Central display with jog dial for intuitive machine data access and settings

Further highlights

Safety

• All-wheel steering: Undivided one-piece frame provides high stability at full steering lock; steering angles up to 40° on front and rear axles
• One-piece vehicle frame: Constant leverage ratios for stable payload and improved manoeuvrability on rough terrain
• Color-coded switches: Consistent color scheme for hydraulic, electrical, drive and safety controls to reduce operator errors

Variety

• Road approval: EC tractor approval where applicable for towing trailers and legal road travel with attachments
• Crab steering: Facilitates manoeuvring in confined areas and reduces surface pressure on sensitive ground
• Hydraulic two-circuit trailer brake: Enables towing of hydraulically braked trailers and use of approved trailer load

Comfort

• Panoramic cabin: Large front glazing and slim pillars for clear view of attachments and stacking heights
• Low-speed device and hand throttle: Maintain constant engine speed for attachments requiring steady RPM while travelling slowly

Eco-friendliness

• Auto-stop: Automatic engine shut-off after a preset time to save fuel and reduce CO2 emissions

Performance

• Ecospeed variable hydrostatic overdrive: Seamless acceleration 0–40 km/h with continuous tractive force and full pushing power
• Gear pump with LUDV: Load-independent flow distribution enabling simultaneous hydraulic functions and faster cycles

Maintenance

• Easy service access: Wide-opening hood, vertically mounted filters and additional maintenance openings for fast checks and servicing
• Automatic central lubrication: Programmable lubrication intervals and quantities for extended component life

Efficiency

• Automatic bucket return: Programmable return positions for repetitive loading tasks and reduced operator fatigue
• Smart Steering: Speed-independent steering support reduces steering wheel rotations at low speeds for fast turning

Quality

• Durable paintwork: Two-layer coating on axles for improved corrosion protection and longevity
