Palfinger PK 18000 TB HPLS overview

Lifting

Return Oil Utilization

Use of the return oil utilization in the boom extension system increases the operating speed by 30 per cent.


Load-holding valves

They prevent the crane booms from dropping and are fitted as standard on the main boom cylinder, the extension boom cylinders, and the swivel cylinder. The valves are positioned in such a way that they are protected from being damaged.


Internally routed oil ducts

On the multiple extensions there are no hydraulic hoses between the cylinders. The internally routed oil passages make it possible to have a compact boom design.


Dimension

Your specialist in breakdown recovery

Especially designed to handle the multi-purpose tasks demanded of a breakdown recovery vehicle, the PALFINGER T-cranes convince with their huge lifting capacity, minimal dead-weight, and a good eye for detail. The two control stands on the PK 16000 T enable great ease of crane operation while ensuring absolute safety. The PK 18000 T model is fitted with a radio remote control and PALTRONIC 50 as standard. The laterally arranged extension cylinders guarantee a low total vehicle height when the crane boom is extended. The transport position of the extension system reaches only slightly below the mounting level.


Parking height

The extension boom reaches only slightly below the mounting level, allowing additional work such as loading the truck.


Equipment & Digital

Crane Controls (PK 16000 T)

The controls work proportionally, they are ergonomically arranged and the low leverage permits very sensitive crane control. The crane function control levers are ergonomically displayed on the control panel. The controls are fitted to ensure low maintenance.


Control stand (outrigger box) (PK 16000 T)

The second control stand is upright with vertical levers fixed to the outrigger box. This enables an ideal vision of the load.
