Palfinger develops truck mounted cranes for Indian market

At this year’s BC (Bauma Conexpo) India, Palfinger made its presence felt with its motto “Efficiency and Reliability”, which is all about innovative and attractively-priced lifting, loading and handling solutions that make day-to-day work easier for the user.

As a leader in technology and after-sales service, the Palfinger brand is considered the epitome of quality and reliability all over the world. A clear strategy based on the three pillars of innovation, internationalization and diversification, with committed employees and an affirmed philosophy of “making customers more successful” in their jobs are the ingredients of this recipe for success. A competitive edge gained through technological innovation and a high level of product quality have always been central to the company.

The PS 8000 4.0 among the presentations took the centre-stage. Palfinger is launching this 3-tonne telescopic truck-mounted crane, specifically tailored to the Asian market, for mounting on small and medium-sized trucks.

Palfinger also exhibited PK 38502 and a PK 1000 Performance from its extensive range of knuckle boom cranes. These cranes are the perfect workhorses on any construction site due to their lightweight design, power and manoeuvrability.
The combination of the PK 10000 truck-mounted crane with a T 13 Palift Telescopic hookloader, mounted on a 16-tonne truck, including the waste container, demonstrated the interesting and powerful range of applications that Palfinger system solutions can handle in the construction and waste management industry.

An Epsilon M110L97 recycling crane mounted on a MAN truck with a gross vehicle weight of 25 tonnes demonstrated just how much power and efficiency is packed into these Palfinger cranes that have been specially designed to deal with huge dynamic loads. Additional truck-mounted crane attachments and equipment for every eventuality completed the exhibition programme.
