Lorry crane solutions for Landscaping 

PALFINGER offers one-stop solutions to landscaping segment customers via our truck-mounted knuckle boom cranes with the possibility to use several localized attachments for your working needs. Common attachments used by our customers include a workman basket, a hook attachment with sling, and a grapple saw.

Before truck-mounted loader cranes entered the segment, landscaping solutions were initially handled by workers physically climbing and manually cutting the trees. Tree-cutting was then performed on aerial work platforms (AWPs), and is still done using this in many countries today. 

However, there is a limit on the lifting capacity of access platforms, and these often require a second machine to load the fallen branches and leaves. Market feedback required lifting equipment with larger capacity and higher/longer outreach. Hence the entrance of truck-mounted loader cranes into this segment, utilizing a workman basket and a grapple saw for tree prunning and cutting.

Another landscaping activity, tree transplantation, requires a lifting equipment capable of handling the load of the entire tree, clearly pointing towards the superiority of using a truck-mounted loader crane.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

 

 

EQUIPMENT IN ACTION

Access Platforms

  • Suitable for large trees where high outreach is needed
  • Safely cut tree branches with a chainsaw 
  • Able to work on slopes

Workman Basket

  • EN 280 certified or locally-fabricated workman basket
  • Able interchange with other attachments at working site

Hook with Sling

  • Used in tree transplantation
  • Stable movement of crane tip and secured load enables precise moments to prevent damage to trees
  • Can also be used to haul large sections of tree bark after chopping a tree

Features & Options

HPSC (Stability Control System)

The High Performance Stability Control (HPSC) is a fully proportional system for monitoring the stability of the crane vehicle. Sensors for proportional travel measurement in the outriggers allow completely variable outrigger positioning. In this way, the permissible, safe working range can be calculated for any support situation.

Paltronic 50/150

With the PALTRONIC 50 and PALTRONIC 150, PALFINGER offers the latest control electronics for the series production crane. The most important safety and comfort functions include:

  • Overload cut-off
  • Stability control (HPSC)
  • High Power Lifting System (HPLS)
  • Active Oscillation Suppression system (AOS)
  • Dual Power System plus (DPS plus) in the fly jib insert

Winch Systems

The patented PALFINGER "AOS" oscillation suppression system cancels out vibrations and blows that occur during crane operation. Any "post-oscillation" is prevented through rapid braking or load changes. The result is a decisive increase to safety in crane operation for employees, the load and building.

 

Fly-Jib System

A fly-jib system extends the working range of the crane and thereby increases the possible areas of application. The same crane can be used with or without the fly jib and can therefore be adapted for different applications. Applications with additional attachments (grabber, rotator) and/or cable winch are possible.

  Electronic Hydraulic oil Flow sharing

Better regulation of oil flow when more than 1 function is activated resulting is smoother control

Eliminates incidences of a function standing still when another function is activated

Reduction of crane oscillation and increased precision

 

  Inner hoses (TEC - Series)

Hoses are routed inside the extention boom system, preventing any accidental damage from entangled tree branches during the cutting and loading process

 

 

  Additional hoses

On extension booms, the hoses enable additional functionality on equipment attached . (e.g. rotary grabs)

Additional hose equipment on Fly -Jib  enables the use of further equipments attached (e.g. grapple saw, workman basket)
