Representing Baumann across the whole Czech Republic

We are E.H.P., s.r.o. — authorised Baumann distributor and exclusive Kalmar representation, part of the Kalmar Austria GmbH group.

Baumann sideloaders are the benchmark for handling long, bulky and heavy materials — from timber and steel to construction and prefabricated elements. They offer stability, high precision and reliability in every side movement.

The Italian Baumann brand, with more than fifty years of manufacturing tradition, is valued for its robust construction, long service life and modern engineering. Baumann sideloaders bring high efficiency and precision to industry, logistics and the timber-processing sector when handling long materials.

In the Czech Republic, Kalmar is exclusively represented by E.H.P., part of Kalmar Austria GmbH. This means we provide direct regional support as well as authorised distribution of the Baumann brand of sideloaders.
