As the concept of truck loader cranes is increasingly gaining acceptance in the Indian markets, Palfinger takes another step forward to extend its range of indigenously made Stiff Boom Cranes further. After receiving good response from the Indian customer base for its first indigenously made 4ton capacity Stiff Boom Crane PS 8000 4.0, Palfinger unveiled its 13 ton-meter telescopic truck loader Stiff Boom Crane PS 13000 6.3 which can lift a load of 6 ton at 2 meter distance with an ease at Excon 2011.This crane is perfect for lifting loads in the construction industry, manufacturing industries like Hume pipes, pre-cast items like panels, boundary walls etc. This crane is very much utilised by automobile dealerships (cars and commercial vehicles) for lifting their heavy spares, accidental cars and even it can be mounted on railway wagon to lift railway tracks for maintenance.The newly developed PS13000 6.3 is having more lifting power on each load lifting distance than any other crane available in the same class. Thanks to the use of high grade steel, PS13000 6.3 is designed for optimal dead weight, thereby not only providing more lifting power, but also creating opportunity for more payload. PS13000 is made available in 3 variants one extension boom, two boom extension and 3 extension boom variants. While the first two variant is a perfect match for conventional 12T GVW truck, the third variant can be very well integrated on 16T GVW truck.
PS13000 is expected not only to be sold in the Indian sub-continent, but will also step in the markets of South East Asian countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines and Middle East countries very soon.
