Even greater performance coupled with increasingly lower weight. These are the requirements placed on modern access platforms. When it comes to the design of its access platforms, PALFINGER can build on a great deal of experience in lightweight
construction.
BENEFITS
Perfect balance between working height, range, basket load and total weight
Optimised performance
Higher loading capacity possible
FUNCTIONALITY
The lightweight construction technologies that PALFINGER uses are refined and further developed on an ongoing basis. With each new development, new technologies and procedures are also taken into consideration and used.
PROFILES
PALFINGER profiles are very strong and lightweight. This is made possible through the use of highstrength aluminium and steel and a method of forming the profiles that is optimised for their applications.
BENEFITS
Use of high-strength steel and aluminium from prestigious producers
Best performance through optimised forming of the profiles
Aluminium-Profiles manufactured using extrusion process
Analysis of the profiles using FE calculation
FUNCTIONALITY
A high level of strength and a low weight are requirements in the development of new access platforms. To achieve this, PALFINGER uses high-strength steels and aluminium that are formed using a method optimised for their applications. The profile shapes are calculated in complex FE analyses on the computer, checked and optimised to achieve the best possible result.
EMERGENCY CONTROL
In the event of a failure or emergency, PALFINGER offers a large number of systems to control the machine. Easy-to-understand and readily accessible emergency controls guarantees the operator's safety at all times.
BENEFITS
Platform is protected in all cases
Large number of emergency controls
Simple, easy-to-understand operation
FUNCTIONALITY
All PALFINGER platforms have an appropriate emergency control system: All control stands are equipped with an Emergency OFF button that immediately brings the platform to a halt in an emergency. Direct manual operation of the valves for actuation of individual equipment movements enables hydraulic emergency operation, thereby guaranteeing
a safe return to the ground at all times. Thanks to a pump that can either be operated by hand or electrically, the drive is protected even in the event of engine damage.
SAFETY PLATES
PALFINGER safety plates are optimally coordinated with the access platform and enable the crane to be securely set up on any surface.
BENEFITS
Stable standing position
Stacking using interlocking method
Anti-slip coating
Centring aid
FUNCTIONALITY
The rubberised base of the PALFINGER safety plates offers a secure hold even under wet conditions. Elevated safety edges all around ensure optimum stacking and also prevent the stabilizer plates from sliding off the safety plate. The milled centre of the safety plate makes it easier to set up the stabilizer plate in the centre.
PLASTIC BASKET
As a driving force behind innovation, PALFINGER can offer qualitatively and ergonomically high-end workman baskets made of fibreglass-reinforced plastic.
BENEFITS
Vertical entry
Working under voltage up to 1000 V
FUNCTIONALITY
PALFINGER enables its customers to quickly replace workman baskets. The most common variant is the switch between an aluminium and a plastic basket. After dismounting the control panel, removing the protection hoses and unfastening the attachment screws, the workman basket can be easily removed and changed. PALFINGER plastic baskets are available in two variants: with and without lockable rear opening.
