Volvo FH480 - Mogens Kristensen
This is the Volvo FH480 of Mogens Kristensen from Dorf (DK).

The truck is standing here at the Huddinge Center where it is mounting steel parts.

It is an 8x4 tractor with a Palfinger crane.

It is a Palfinger PK150002 in G version with a PJ170E jib mounted to it. The base crane has an outreach of 18,8 meters and can lift 4,8 tonnes at that distance. The jib gives an outreach of 31,8 meter with a capacity of 1,1 tonnes.
The cranes was mounted by Lassen Hydraulic from Hobro.

The position of the fifth wheel is remarkable, behind the last rear axle.

The crane is mounted at a small distance from the cab. This gives enough room to mount a storage compartment and a dieseltank in front of the crane.

The crane has 4 normal outriggers and a 5th outrigger at the front of the chassis. The chassis between the crane and this outriggers has been reinforced so that the crane can be used with a heavy load to the front.

The rest of the chassis was filled with storage compartments to carry the lifting materials.

The front outrigger enables working to the front with this crane.
