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.
