Functional design for greater comfort and safety. Covers of synthetic material and hydrau- lic hoses located on the inside are not only more pleasing visually but serve rst and fore- most to protect both the operator and the crane system. Covers of synthetic material protect sensitive crane parts against dirt and damage. As a result, they decrease the cost and eort of servicing and maintenance and considerably increase the truck-mounted cranes service life. It is possible to enhance the craneҒs value enor- mously by using premium-quality, highly-resis- tant synthetic materials, which can be...

With this decision he was ahead of his times as one of the very few providers of crane services in the region. Over the years he was able to establish himself in his branch of business with a great deal of hard work and commitment.He expanded his eet by three cranes which were equipped with a range of additional equipment such as cable winches, grabs and timber grabs to maximise the full potential of his cranes. Exactly 34 years aer the initial purchase,...

e PALFINGER PK 100002 Performance , with 7 hydraulic extensions is impressive due to its enormous liing power with low dead weight. e PJ 170 E y jib combined with the mechanical boom elongation extends the outreach to 32 m horizontally and 36 m vertically where it is still possible to li loads of up to a tonne.e 5-axle Scania R 500 provides the ideal base for installation of the heavy load crane. e vehicle chassis was reinforced at the front and the front central support was installed to ensure 100% stability. As a result it is possible to work without restriction within a 360 radius.e...

Performance in the entrance building to the St. Pauli Elbe tunnel set a special benchmark in the performance of the Meyer team. > Performance is used during mainte-nance work inside the building and can reach up to 17 m downwards into the maintenance sha itself. e only way of getting the crane in, however, was through a round opening in the domed roof with a diameter of approx. 120 cm. It was therefore decided to lower the crane into the building in two sections. First of all came the relatively compact crane pedestal. is was followed by the considerably larger and bulkier combination of...

e Slovenian Armys unconventional crane deployment illustrates that the kinematics of a truck-mounted crane are not only useful for classic crane work and that it is not necessarily inevitable that a crane tip will be used to sus- pend a hook or grab. PALFINGERҒs Slovenian partner Bijol designed a special crane system for radar vehicles and tted each of ve Iveco 4x4 trucks with a PK 4100 compact crane. e vehicles are destined for a NATO commission for ight monitoring (with a range of up to 60 km). e advantages of the crane combination are clear: the units are ready for deployment within ten...
