Transport CH - 2013 - 2

This show offcourse was the chance for Palfinger to show their new topmodel PK200002L-SH. All the shows so far had either the Rachbauer or the Meister unit at display, but not this time. Shortly before the fare the first 200'er for Switzerland was delivered to the company Heggli from Kriens. It was mounted on a striking green Scania G450 10x4*6. This unit is a bit lighter as a Scania R, also they used normal axles instead of planetery drives, they are also lighter. The total weight comes out at about 40 tonnes, exactly the weight that is allowed on normal trucks in Switzerland, so no permits are neccesary. The G-version of the crane was mounted, which means an outreach of 25,4 meters with 3,95 tonnes capacity. The 6x extending 30 t/m jib (PJ300LF) gives a total lenght of 45 meters with a capacity of 500 kg. This crane has got the same outrigger construction as most of the currently deliverd units, meaning 4 base outriggers, 1 extending at the rear and 1 at the front. The rear cabinet also holds the working basket. The last picture shows Palfingers system for the winch cable and jib connection. The cable passes this connection sideways, this way the cable can stay mounted in the folded position.

The 2nd truck at the outer area of Walser (Palfinger importer of Switzerland) was this Scania R 10x4*6 of Lienhart. The long truck has a flatbed and a Palfinger PK110002-SH. This crane reaches up to 19,6 meter (G-version) and lifts 3,75 tonnes at that distance. This one also has a PJ170E jib, that makes a total outreach of 32,4 meter with a capacity of 820 kg. With 1 manual part the total outreach gets 34,2 meter.
