Maintenance-free boom extension system
The sliding elements are molded from special synthetic material and have self-lubricating
properties. No further servicing is required after the primary lubrication, in which the
same grease is used as in the food industry. All other elements (slide rails, slide blocks,
etc.) run without grease. They have only a secondary function as sliding elements; they
are primarily adjustment and guiding elements. Special synthetic materials are also used
for these elements in order to protect the boom against corrosion.
Environmentally compatible coating technology
PALFINGER High Performance cranes are coated by cathotic dip painting. In addition
to the benefits of KTL coating, the environmental compatibility of both the paints and
the painting process is also striking: the two-pack paints used in the process are watersoluble.
Chromium VI-free surfaces of pipes, small parts and fittings
All hydraulic pipes, fittings, small parts and brackets found on PALFINGER
High Performance cranes are also coated using chromium VI-free methods.
Biodegradable hydraulic oil
On request, PALFINGER offers its customers a fully synthetic, environmentally sound hydraulic
oil with rapid biodegradability for environmental crane operation. This oil guarantees
smooth, year-round operation even under extreme conditions and when subjected to
large changes in temperature.
Lightweight construction saves resources
A PALFINGER crane is a "lightweight" – that means, a higher payload and lower operating
costs. The lightweight construction reduces the crane’s fuel consumption and thus
makes a significant contribution towards reducing CO2 emissions.
Load sensing – reduced fuel consumption
By fitting the control unit with a proportional valve capable of load sensing, PALFINGER
cranes are ready for efficient and economical variable displacement pump operation.
The advantages are clear: less fuel consumption (fuel savings of up to 20%!), enhanced
capacity for precision and multi-function control, and less stress on the entire hydraulic
system since the oil remains cooler!
Choosing a PALFINGER crane is a corporate decision that aims for value,
reliability and sustainability.
