Kaelble 100 Jahre Baumaschinen (Band 1) - Geschichte, Walzen, Raupen

NEW

Although the Kaelble factory in Backnang closed 20 years ago, the Kaelble legend lives on. For over 100 years, Kaelble produced machines and vehicles with the highest standards of Swabian engineering. Even today, Kaelble wheel loaders are still in use in some quarries and gravel pits, satisfying their owners.
Kaelble manufactured a wide range of vehicles and machines, with a strong focus on construction equipment. In the 1930s, the company proudly called itself the "largest construction machinery factory in Germany, " which was no exaggeration.
Documenting the complete history of Kaelble construction machinery in words and pictures was a significant challenge, leading to its division into three volumes.
The first volume covers the company's history in brief, auto-crushers, road rollers, and bulldozers. With many unpublished factory photos and archive images, it offers a fascinating insight into the first 50 years of Swabian construction machinery history. Technical data and facts are also thoroughly presented.

Kaelble 100 Jahre Baumaschinen (Band 2) - Muldenkipper, Raupen, Kranwagen

NEW

The second volume of the Kaelble construction machinery history continues the documentation of loaders and bulldozers until production ended in 1986.
The focus of this volume is on dump trucks for construction sites and quarries, which Kaelble produced in a wide variety for around 50 years. In the 1950s, Kaelble was the market leader for dump trucks in Germany and repeatedly surprised with impressive designs, such as the largest articulated dumper in the 1980s.
This volume also covers the lesser-known crane chassis produced by Kaelble.

Kaelble 100 Jahre Baumaschinen (Band 3) - Radlader, Raddozer, Bergbaugeräte

NEW

The main focus of the third volume of the Kaelble construction machinery history is on wheel loaders, which Kaelble produced for over 50 years. They were the last product in the range before the company was acquired by Terex.
The good reputation of Kaelble wheel loaders is still strong among many business owners today, and many machines are still in daily use.
The third volume presents the variety of Kaelble wheel loaders in action through numerous original factory photos and archive images. It also covers motor graders, mining wheel loaders, dumpers, environmental technology, and Kaelble's licensed products.
