Krupp – other models: the collective page of heavy trucks and mobile cranes outside the named ranges, including the KMK crane range, 188 to 405 kW, 9.6 to 48 tonnes gross vehicle weight
This page gathers heavy commercial vehicles of the Krupp marque that the register could not assign to a named range. The Essen-based industrial group Fried. Krupp built heavy trucks alongside its steel and engineering products, and also, under the KMK code for Krupp-Mobilkran, mobile cranes; the KMK 3045 and KMK 6200 models represent this crane production here. The crane division became part of Terex Demag through the 2002 merger, after which the Krupp brand disappeared from mobile crane building.

The register lists 16 versions here with 188 to 405 kW, cylinder counts from 3 to 6, gross vehicle weights from 9,620 to 48,000 kg, lengths from 6,510 to 13,400 mm and widths from 2,340 to 3,000 mm.
Heavy Krupp vehicles of this kind were used in construction, industrial plant building and lifting work, where they competed with makers such as Faun, Liebherr and Demag for market share in mobile cranes and heavy-duty chassis; the large lifting capacities of the KMK cranes were needed for power-plant, bridge and industrial assembly work, where components could no longer be moved by hand or with smaller equipment.
When buying used, check boom and hydraulic operating hours and the validity of the crane inspection on the crane components, frame and axle-suspension corrosion, the condition of the gearbox and brakes, and the function of the outriggers on the chassis; since Krupp no longer exists as an independent crane and truck maker, spare parts are usually only available through successor firms or specialist dealers.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
