Kraus & Schollhorn GmbH (KSG) Augsburg, Germany     Beginning around 1980, Kraus & Schollhorn GmbH (KSG) built the American Gar Wood bodies in Germany, dubbed the Europress series. The original tooling from the Enterprise, Alabama factory was brought over to build these early German versions, which had the familiar slant-pillar body design. Industry consolidation resulted in FAUN acquiring the Europress manufacturing rights from Edelhoff Polytechnik in 1989. Through various other mergers and acquisitions, FAUN is now the primary producer in Europe and the UK, and builds what was the Europress LP-901 rear loader (FAUN Powerpress) and the FL-3000 front loader (FAUN Frontpress). The KSG Europress LP-10 00 rear loader is no longer produced. 1983 Mercedes-Benz truck with KSG Europress The KSG Europress LP-901 was built using the same tooling as the American Gar Wood LP-900 Early German versions look identical to the slant-pillared American versions of the 1970s Bin-lift equipment was of a more European style, such as this container hoist The Ten Hundred series was also produced by KSG in the 1980s 7/30/14 © 2014 All Rights Reserved Logos shown are the trademarks of respective manufacturers Photos from factory brochures/trade advertisements except as noted
