The footer displays direct links to important pages such as the dealer directory, download centre or contact details. The ‘CLAAS Group’ link takes you to the webpage containing company information about the CLAAS Group (only in German and English).

If several items are listed under a topic, the system displays a menu of additional items under the horizontal navigation bar on the left of the screen. In the Products area, we made it our priority to apply a uniform design to these items and to compile comprehensive information about the machines. As a result, you can see everything at a glance

The path name serves to provide an additional means of orientation. It allows you to immediately recognise the sublevel on which you are currently located. The path is an interactive link and by clicking it you can return to the main navigation step by step or via several levels.

The right column of many pages displays further navigation elements, depending on the chosen context. On product pages, for example, these are the next possible selections: Find the appropriate dealer or all downloads (photos, brochures) for the selected machine type.

The search offers various options which allow you to search for specific information within the website.
