PK 480 TEC

P-Fold is a PALFINGER assistance system. It makes folding and unfolding an easy job for the operator. The P-Fold system also works in combination with the innovative RTC (Rope Tension Control). Both systems perfectly support the crane’s set-up processes and thus reduce set-up times to a minimum.

Maximum Safety – The new LANE LOCK feature for your loader crane

Effectively prevent unwanted slewing into dangerous areas such as oncoming traffic or other hazardous zones with the innovative LANE LOCK assistance function. Use the menu to activate a preset lock that reliably limits your loader crane‘s slewing range. Thanks to flexible adaptation to your vehicle‘s design and easy operation, you maintain full control at all times – for enhanced safety and precision on every job site.

Custom locking zones – Limitation with the new SLEWING LOCK function

Maintain full control over your loader crane and specifically block unauthorized slewing areas. With the SLEWING LOCK function, you can set custom angles to safely block dangerous zones. Simply define two points via the remote control to set the restricted area – for maximum control and safety, no matter where your vehicle is positioned.

Reliable Protection During Unfolding –  The new BOOM RELEASE ASSIST function

Avoid unnecessary damage and costs caused by improper operation when unfolding the loader crane. With the BOOM RELEASE ASSIST function, your loader crane automatically ensures that the knuckle boom is always pre-tensioned before the main boom can be moved. The locking function remains active until a predefined angle value of the main arm is reached – ensuring maximum safety and smooth operation. Once activated, BOOM RELEASE ASSIST provides reliable protection during every operation.

The PALTRONIC 180 is the most advanced control electronics for our loader cranes, enabling a safe, precise, and reliable operation. With its state-of-the-art technology, it allows for a variety of innovative assistance systems, such as Memory Position or the Leveling Assistant, and sets the standard for the new TEC generation.

The innovative control valve LX-6 enables particularly precise control of the new TEC-range. In combination with our specially developed PALcom P7 radio remote control, this gives the crane operator the best control over the TEC loader crane. As a result, every movement is even more precise and, above all, faster than ever before.

The new RTC (Rope Tension Control) system is an automatic rope tensioning device that helps to fold and unfold the crane. This is a further innovation from PALFINGER that will significantly shorten the set-up time.
