„ Indian SOARING FLIGHT The gigantic domestic market of India is attracting vehicle manufacturers such as logistics groups to the booming subcontinent. PALFINGER is among the high-tech pioneers on the Indian transport market. INDIA IS A GENUINE BOOM MARKET BUT STILL LAGS BEHIND IN TERMS OF MODERNISATION AND SAFETY. MANUAL UNLOADING IS STILL COMMON PRACTICE. HOW- EVER, WE ARE EXPECTING A GRADUAL CHANGE TOWARDS MORE MODERN TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE TRADITIONAL "PICK AND CARRY" CRANE IS THE MOST COMMON MODEL FOR TRANSPORTING GOODS.a NALINKUMAR DHANASEKARAN, MANAGER PRODUCT MANAGEMENT PALFINGER CRANES INDIA PVT. LTD “ A mere 7,400 kilometres separate the company headquarters in Salzburg and PALFINGER Cranes India Ltd in the south eastern metropolis of Chennai. And yet, the two PALFINGER sites are, quite literally, worlds apart. The contradictions of India are not just reflected in the co-existence of poor and rich. On the roads, quaint self-built trucks can be seen travelling beside modern trucks from cooperation production facilities of western commercial vehicle manufacturers. As a result, anyone who thinks of transport in India immediately conjures up images of excessively over-filled vehicles. Maximum loading with no thought given to legal limits is part and parcel of everyday life in the goods transport industry here, which covers over 3.3 million kilometres of roads and paths in India. Handcarts, overloaded tricycles, endless truck caravans and the compulsory holy cows drastically reduce the speed; muscle power has been in demand as a loading aid for centuries. Time still plays a subordinate role in Indian road transport. Palleted goods are just as rare here as quick transport of goods. The 60 employees at Palfinger India must engage in genuine awareness training in order to make the advantages of quick and safe loading devices clear to the transport companies here. Because even on the Indian market, which is operating at full capacity on the basis of domestic demand alone, the demand for transport efficiency is growing every bit as quickly as the amazing rate of growth of the economy of the subcontinent. Nowadays, there are around five million transport vehicles, from rattling Tempo three-wheelers right up to heavy-duty long-distance trucks. Successfully negotiating the conflict between extreme price pressure and a high-quality appeal is an exciting challenge for PALFINGER. PALFINGER products are already being used successfully in the heavy-duty sector. Brick and concrete manufacturers as well as customers such as the energy corporation Bescom are among the customers who transport and safely install transformers using PALFINGER cranes. It is only now that modern road transport is beginning to develop on the Indian market. The subcontinent is enticing, with growth rates that the rest of the world can only dream of.
