Kramer KL 730: a small commercial vehicle from the Wörth am Main manufacturer with a single-cylinder engine and short wheelbase, built in 1970
Kramer-Werke, based in Wörth am Main, is best known today for compact loaders and telehandlers, but in earlier decades it also built small transport vehicles. The KL 730 described here, from 1970, belongs to this older vehicle line.

The KL 730 is powered by a single-cylinder engine, with a kerb weight of 1,270 kg. With a wheelbase of just 1,680 mm and a width of 1,620 mm, the vehicle is unusually short and compact, running on four wheels. These proportions are typical of a nimble small utility vehicle rather than a road-going long-distance van.
Vehicles with a single-cylinder engine and such a short wheelbase were built for simple transport tasks over short distances, for example on a factory site or a farm, where manoeuvrability mattered more than ride comfort or speed. The simple drivetrain made such vehicles robust and easy to repair.
On such an old and simply built vehicle, it is worth checking the engine mounts, clutch and drivetrain for wear, since single-cylinder engines of this era often vibrate heavily and are stressed accordingly. The frame and sheet metal should be examined for corrosion at the wheel arches and body seams, and since this is a rare, niche vehicle, it is worth checking before purchase whether wear parts can still be sourced or need to be remade by hand.
