New Palfinger service crane and mechanics truck built for Class 5 chassis applications
Palfinger has introduced the PAL Pro 58 mechanics truck and PSC 8600 TEC service crane at Work Truck Week in Indianapolis, Indiana.
"We are excited to launch these new solutions in North America. Our focus is on customer satisfaction and creating products tailored to address the unique demands of the region, ensuring our customers can achieve their goals with greater ease and efficiency," said Ismael Daneluz, PALFINGER vice president of sales and service for North and Latin America.
The PAL Pro 58 and PSC 8600 TEC service crane are engineered to deliver extended reach, weight reduction, and ideal performance. Both of these introductions are optimized for Class 5 chassis applications.
Palfinger says that the PAL Pro 58 represents a leap forward in mechanics truck design. Manufactured with 12-gauge all A-60 galvannealed steel and a hybrid torsion box, the PAL Pro 58 helps eliminate frame and side pack deflection. It also features a 12-step e-coat process offering corrosion protection.
The PAL Pro 58 is available in 11-foot body configurations, the PAL Pro 58 is designed to cater to a wide range of service truck needs. It includes bolt-on mounting locations for accessories such as compressors and welders, headache racks, and toolboxes. Additionally, it utilizes improved lighting packages to support remote work and nighttime operations.
The PAL Pro 58 and the PSC 8600 TEC service crane combination utilize an 8,600-pound lift capacity and a 58,000-foot-pound moment rating. The PSC 8600 TEC service crane's design relocates the winch to a boom-mounted position, streamlining operation and addressing cable concerns. An integrated overload protection system also helps to ensure operational reliability. The inclusion of load moment indication (LMI) as a standard feature provides operators with real-time load-on-hook information.
The PSC 8600 TEC service crane is available with 22- and 31-foot reach. Two interchangeable proportional remote control styles are also available to fit the operator's preference.
"We recognize the unique challenges faced by field mechanics and operators," said Brian Heffron, PALFINGER North America vice president for sales and service, service cranes, and crane bodies. "Their inputs are invaluable in ensuring that these products can surpass their needs for productivity and efficiency, especially under tough conditions. They're designed to excel in job sites where only the most reliable equipment can succeed."
