Crane truck manufacturer Palfinger is showing a pair of new products at the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA) Work Truck Week, running from 5 to 8 March 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Designed to fit Class 5 chassis, the newest Pal Pro mechanics truck body and next-generation TEC service crane body combine advanced features, greater reach, and reduced overall weight.

“Our presence at the NTEA Work Truck Week highlights our dedication to leading the industry with innovative solutions that are designed specifically for our North American customers,” says Palfinger Vice President of Sales & Service North and Latin America, Ismael Daneluz. “We are very excited for attendees of the truck show to get a first glimpse of the newest Pal Pro mechanics truck and TEC service crane. These solutions will set new benchmarks in crane performance and design.”

Other Palfinger Equipment At The Show

Palfinger is also showcasing many other products at Work Truck Week. Its ETC MH 40 IH is an insulated bucket truck body for utility work. It has an articulating and telescoping aerial lift with up to 8.36 metres (30 feet) of side reach and a working height of 13.72 m (45 ft). The lift has standard continuous rotation and a basket capacity of 181.4 kilograms (400 pounds). A hydraulic winch and a 914-millimetre (3-ft) jib provide a material-handling capacity of up to 454 kg (1,000 lbs).

The Pal Pro 86 mechanics truck body at Palfinger’s booth will have some star power, as the Class 7 “Mack Daddy” custom model belongs to Juan Ibarra of the Discovery Channel’s “Mine Rescue with Freddy and Juan.” The Pal Pro 86 is a true crane body that can support a Palfinger 14029 service crane with a maximum lift capacity of 6,350 kg (14,000 lbs) and up to 8.9 m (29.1 ft) of outreach.

The upgraded hooklift brings better performance, easier installation, and more user-friendly operation to vehicles of 10,200 kg (22,500 lbs) gross vehicle weight or more. Its hook height is adjustable from 914 to 1,372 mm (914 to 1,372 inches), and it can support containers 3 to 3.7 m (10 to 12 ft) in length.

Another Palfinger mechanics truck body at the show may look familiar to attendees. The popular Pal Pro 43 Class 5 true crane body supports service cranes with up to 3,650 kg (8,000 lbs) of lift capacity and up to 8.9 m (29.1 ft) of outreach, as well as a PRC45V air compressor.

Palfinger ILP & PFT Liftgates

Palfinger is highlighting some heavy-duty liftgates for the transportation and logistics industries at the show, as well. The ILP Pallet Pro is a folding model with a weight capacity of up to 1,497 kg (3,300 lbs). It supports platforms of up to 1,524 by 2,032 mm (60 by 80 in) and bed heights of 965 to 1,397 mm (38 to 55 in).

The PTF auto-folding liftgate delivers up to 2,495 kg (5,500 lbs) weight capacity and is compatible with platforms of up to 1,575 by 2,184 mm (62 by 86 in.) and truck bed heights of 1,219 to 1,422 mm (48 to 56 in.). It has a self-levelling feature and a power-down function, as well as a torsion-assisted folding mechanism. With the platform electro-hydraulically stowed under the truck, the PTF liftgate is out of the way of forklifts and docks, Palfinger says.
