At the end of 2024, Kotte Landtechnik in Germany took over all production rights as well as the service and spare parts business of long-established Dutch manufacturer Kaweco. In addition, Krampe, producer of wagons, trailers and container systems has acquired all rights to the Radium silage transport wagon division to complement its own product portfolio.

“We are proud to continue a piece of Dutch machinery construction history with the Radium series silage wagons from Kaweco,” said Robin Krampe, Managing Director of Krampe Fahrzeugbau GmbH. “These wagons are renowned for their good quality and value retention. Four new models therefore fit well into our existing product portfolio and close a gap between the BigBody tippers and the Krampe RamBody push-off trailers, which will be crucial in our efforts to expand our position as a full-range manufacturer in the transport technology sector.”

The official launch of the Krampe Radium series will be at Agritechnica 2025, with the first serial production scheduled for delivery in 2026. The product range includes three tandem models and one tridem trailer with transport volumes of 38.5 – 52.0 m³. The service and spare parts supply for existing vehicles will be handled by Kaweco with headquarters in Baak, Netherlands in the 2025 calendar year, and from 2026 spare parts will be supplied by Krampe.

“We have much work to do until we are ready to present the new Krampe Radium silage wagons,” explains Robin Krampe. “Our plan is to integrate the Kaweco Radium body on to the tried-and-tested Krampe RamBody chassis. The Krampe running gear in particular contains a great deal of expertise that contributes to a high level of ride comfort, stability and safety. This will form the basis of the new combination with the Radium body from Kaweco. The latter has been on the market 25 years, is technically matured and offers extremely fast unloading times.”

The Krampe TwinTop cover and the ISOBUS control system will be adapted to the Radium models. The four new Radium vehicles will also be EU type-approved – to ensure simple registration throughout Europe and provide even better value retention.

The new Krampe Radium Series will be introduced to the market at Agritechnica 2025, this coming November in Hanover, Germany.
