Ag Krane is Born

By 1990 the farm climate and practices had changed with farmers shifting to "no-till farming" and very little moldboard plowing. At that time, Charles decided to retire from manufacturing and handed the company to his son, Richard, who began to work on a new product called the "Ag Krane". The Ag Krane started out as a personal implement to be used on the Schlabs Farm to help lift and move various things on the farm. Several times a week neighbors would borrow the Ag Krane to lift and move things. They were amazed how much it would lift and how easy it was to attach and use. Richard saw the Ag Krane as a product that every farmer needed on his farm.

Revolutionary Design

Before the release of the product, the Ag Krane underwent numerous changes in design after on-farm testing and use. We have continued to field-tests to improve the Ag Krane. Whether it`s stacking hay, loading pallets of seed, lifting and moving other equipment around the farm, or handling large seed bags, the Ag Krane is perfect for making your farm operate at it`s maximum potential. The Ag Krane truly is a farmer`s best friend. With the flexibility of being able to hook up to virtually every tractor on the market, the Ag Krane can be ready to use within 2 minutes or less.

An Award Winning Product

In 1995, OEM Magazine awarded the Ag Krane an "OEM Emmy" award for Technological and Innovative Excellence. The Ag Krane was chosen from hundreds of other products in the agricultural market for its revolutionary design and multi purpose concept.
