PALSOFT | PALDESK

COMPLETE INFORMATION

With our customer-oriented PALSOFT software products, PALFINGER dealers and clients have access to complete information on technical product data, spare parts catalogs, user manuals, assmebly guidelines for mounting the crane on trucks, diagrams of hydrualic systems and wiring, data files on machine calibration for each and every product (PALIPEDIA), and tools for calculating axle load and stability as well as for ascertaining dimensions of auxilary frames (PacWin.NET and PAF - only applicable in certain markets). In addition, our partners also have the diagnostics software PALDIAG at their disposal.

A quick and smooth exchange of data between dealers and PALFINGER is necessary for successful teamwork. PALFINGER Paldesk offers ON- LINE-Availability of essential data. In addition to being able to order spare parts directly online, the wealth of information provided by the software PALIPEDIA is another advantage of the system.

FEATURES | BENEFITS

PALTRONIC

IN CONTROL

The PALTRONIC Overload Protection Systems are state of the art monitoring and control systems designed for PALFINGER cranes. They serve as an electronic overload protection system and control all aspects of crane operation. PALTRONIC can be optionally fitted with the following advanced systems: HPLS, AOS and SHB.

ACTIVE-OSCILLATION SUPPRESSION (AOS)

MAXIMUM PRECISION

The PALFINGER AOS system dampens the boom system of the crane, so that the crane remains nearly still even after a sudden stop of the lifting function. The system is especially useful for longer boom versions.

DUAL POWER SYSTEM (DPS)

UTILIZES FULL CAPACITY

The DPS make it possible to use the full lifting capacity of the fly-jib by using two pressure ranges on the fly-jib. Therefore, cranes with a jib combination can use the full lifting capacity of the fly-jib even at a great outreach, when the extension boom is not completely extended.

SYNCRONIZED ROPE

CONTROL (SRC)

EASE OF USE

The SRC system maintains a constant distance between the pulley head and the hook block, resulting in ease of use for the operator and improved efficiency of any operation.

RADIO REMOTE CONTROL

INFORMS THE OPERATOR

The radio control transmitter (handset) is equipped with an LED display showing how much the crane is loaded from 60% to 100% capacity. In an overload situation, it also indicates the function that has caused the overload.

KTL CATAPHORETIC DIP PAINTING

RETAINING HIGH VALUE

Innovative surface coating technology for increased quality and environmental compatibility.

Excellent corrosion protection for all components because the coating is elastic, abrasion proof and UV resistant.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

STABILITY CONTROL

OFFERS GREATER STABILITY

HPSC is an optional comprehensive stability system that uses fully proportional sensors along with our PALFINGER real data algorithm. This industry leading technology offers crane stability with fully variable stabilizer positioning.

ROPE TENSION CONTROL (RTC)

REDUCING SET-UP TIME

The new RTC system is an automatic rope tensioning device that helps to fold and unfold the crane. This innovation from PALFINGER significantly shortens the set-up time.

LOW MAINTENANCE	FLY-JIBS
BOOM EXTENSION SYSTEM	INCREASING APPLICATION RANGE
EXCEPTIONAL SERVICABILITY

With the low maintenance boom extensions system, PALFINGER HP cranes lead the way in ser- vice-friendliness. The use of sliding elements made from special synthetic material, together with the highly dependable KTL painting, means that the operator no longer needs to grease the boom system.

Efficient and environmentally friendly!

TILTABLE STABILIZER PLATES

REDUCING GROUND PRESSURE

All stabilizers come equipped with a stabilizer plate tiltable to 14° on a ball joint. Allowing the stabilizer plate to adjust for optimal ground contact, the larger plate reduces ground pressure. (For High Performance models)

POWER LINK

INCREASED LIFTING POWER

The linkage system is a special connection between the outer boom and the main boom and is used to increase lifting power at awkward angles. The PALFINGER POWER LINK system has not only the linkage on the outer boom, but also between the main boom and the crane column.

POWER LINK PLUS

BACKWARDS FOLDING BOOM

POWER LINK PLUS is a backwards folding outer boom first developed by PALFINGER.

The outer boom unfolds “backwards” up to 15° above horizontal, with full lifting power.

An additional fly-jib extends the field of activity of a crane, opening up a wider range of new applications. The same crane can be used with or without the fly-jib and is therefore is adaptable for various job applications. The fly-jib can be used with various attachments (grab, rotator) and/or a rope winch. We offer a full fly-jib range for cranes 11 meter-tons and above.

WARNING LIGHTS ON STABILIZERS

OPTIMAL VISABILITY

LED warning lights on the stabilizer rams provide better visibility of the stabilizer ram position. This increases safety for both crane operator and pedestrians. (For High Performance models)

SPIRAL HOSE

OPTIMAL PROTECTION

The highly dependable spiral hose, which protects the hydraulic hoses, is now utilized on all cranes 4 metertons and above.

Expect optimal protection of the hydraulic hoses against damage or dirt. (For HP models).

SHB

FOR GREATER SAFETY

The SHB Slewing Limitation system limits the capacity of the crane in unstable areas, like over the vehicle’s cab. It still allows the crane to work at full capacity in stable areas.

FEATURES |

BENEFITS

CONTINUOUS SLEWING	INTERLOCK SYSTEM
MECHANISM	MAXIMUM SAFETY
AN UNRESTRICTED RADIUS

The PALFINGER Continuous Slewing Mechanism permits an unrestricted radius of action. The crane is rotated or “slewed” using a gear box and hydraulic motor rather than a rack and pinion system. All continuous slewing mechanisms come as standard with a high quality roller ball bearing.

OIL COOLER

LIGHT WEIGHT & COMPACT

PALFINGER oill coolers are offered from 8.5kW to 20.0kW depending on the size of the crane. They are lightweight, compact, and can be mounted directly to the crane base under a protective guard.

INTEGRAL SUBFRAME BASE

WEIGHT | HEIGHT SAVINGS

PALFINGER heavy duty cranes have, depending on their performance class as standard or optional feature, a special base that doubles as a section of subframe for the truck. Since the crane can be mounted directly to the truck chassis, the result is huge weight and height savings.

HIGH POWER LIFTING SYSTEM (HPLS)

INCREASED CAPACITY

The PALFINGER HPLS increases the capacity of a crane up to 15% with reduced operating speed.

This electronic system is controlled by the PALTRONIC safety system.

PALFINGER has developed an innovative locking mechanism for manually extended outriggers which meets the latest EN 12999 crane safety standard. The new outrigger lock has a redundancy built in, so that even if the primary locking mechanism fails, the outrigger is still prevented from sliding out during transport.

RETURN OIL UTILIZATION

EFFICIENT EXTENSIONS

RETURN OIL UTILIZATION is a regenerative hydraulic circuit for the extension booms.

It speeds up the boom extend and retract functions by up to 30%.

CABLE WINCH

INCREASED MANEUVERABILITY

The performance of the winch itself influences the efficiency of the crane to a great extent.

Our full range of winches offer an ideal possible combination in its corresponding crane class.

HYDRAULIC FLIP-UP

STABILIZER LEGS

OPTIMIZED INSTALLATIONS

The crane’s stabilizer legs can be fully tilted up 180° hydraulically. Stabilizer support of the crane is possible despite obstacles. Guard rails, walls or fences can be overcome.
