PK 8502 Palfinger PK 8502 Specifications & Technical Data (2008—2026)

With upwardly tiltable knuckle boom

The PK 8502 stands out by virtue of the upwardly tiltable knuckle boom developed by PALFINGER with the double linkage system (Power Link Plus). As the knuckle boom can be angled upwards through 15°, places which were previously difficult to access can now be easily reached. Thanks to the radio remote control, which is fitted as standard, and in combination with accessories such as grabs and pallet forks, the PK 9002 EH becomes a multifunctional working unit.

Power Link Plus

This knuckle boom, specially developed by PALFINGER, which can be angled upwards, stands out by virtue of excellent movement geometry. Even in the tightest spaces, difficult crane jobs can be performed with precision.

Radio remote control

Radio remote control with digital data transmission (standard on EH models) offers maximum efficiency and comfort. The display integrated in the handset informs the crane operator continuously about the current capacity loading level of the crane.

Paltronic 50

Modern electronics in the increasingly complex crane system offer safety and comfort functions that make the crane operator's work easier and increase the efficiency of the crane job.

Outrigger system

All the outriggers are fitted as standard with a ball-jointed support plate that can be swivelled through 10°. This enables them to adapt optimally to the ground. The enlarged plate also reduces the pressure on the ground. The PK 8502 and 9002 EH High Performance fit onto all standard truck chassis frames. Three outrigger widths are possible: 3.2 m (mechanical), 4.9 m (mechanical or hydraulic), and 5.6 m (hydraulic).

Load-holding valve

They prevent the crane boom from dropping and are fitted as standard on all slewing, lifting, knuckle-boom, and extension cylinders. The valves are positioned in such a way that they are protected against damage.

Return oil utilisation

The high speed of the extension system is impressive. It results from return oil utilisation, which is installed as standard, and the generously dimensioned hydraulic lines. This increases efficiency in all types of working!

ISC (optional)

The integrated stability control (ISC) is a system that monitors the stability of the crane vehicle. The system adjusts the crane's lifting forces depending on the current stability support situation and the crane boom to ensure the vehicle's stability over the entire working area.

Maintenance-free extension system

With the maintenance-free extension system PALFINGER sets a clear path in easy servicing. The use of sliding elements made of special plastic in combination with the proven KTL cathodic dip painting means that the extension boom system no longer has to be serviced by the operator. This not only saves time and expense but also protects the environment.

KTL – the cathodic dip painting

The shot-blasted crane parts are covered in zinc phosphate in an immersion process and coated electro-statically. The subsequent two-component top coating of paint provides a surface protection which in the past was usually only found in the automotive industry.

AOS (optional)

The Active Oscillation Suppression system available exclusively from PALFINGER compensates for jolts and sharp stress cycles caused by crane operation. Because oscillations are eradicated the crane can work with precision, much faster and therefore more cost-efficiently.

Control console

All important information about the crane can be seen on the main control stand. A digital indicator counts and displays the operating hours. Ergonomic control levers and the optional lighting package provide increased safety and comfort even in poor visibility conditions.

Lighting package (optional)

The control stand is supplied on request with LED illumination and backlit symbols. LED warning lights are fitted on the outriggers to provide better visibility.
