These cranes impart power of self loading and unloading to the truck in turn saving on time and cost. Now there is no need to hire Pick and Carry cranes at loading and unloading points. Whether it is simple loading and unloading or doing specific jobs like earth drilling, brick stack handling, lifting human being to a height, pole erection – PALFINGER Truck Mounted Cranes deliver their best.

Loader cranes are used for loading and unloading trucks and other vehicles. The crane is mounted either behind the cab or at the rear of the vehicle and is hydraulically driven by the engine of the vehicle via an oil pump. The crane consists of a base that is directly mounted on the truck frame. On the base frame is the crane column, which is connected to the main boom, either directly or via a linkage system. Another linkage system connects the main boom with the knuckle boom. A crane can be equipped with a maximum of nine hydraulic booms. The crane’s outreach may be further expanded through a fly jib. Additional equipment (cable winch, rotator, grapple, pallet fork) makes loader cranes even more widely applicable. The crane models have a lifting capacity of up to 30 tonnes. The cranes are controlled via a control panel directly on the base or via radio remote control.

For decades, PALFINGER has been a pioneer in technology and product innovations, such as the Power Link Plus double linkage system, the active oscillation system (AOS) or the intelligent High Performance Stability Control (HPSC). PALFINGER has had a significant influence on the markets and on future developments, also due to its state-of-the-art manufacturing processes.
