Distinctive, with their upward-folding articulated arms, and indispensable when peak performance is required in the overhead line area; whether working with load hooks, winches, work baskets, or other additional equipment - the denser the tangle of contact wires, suspension ropes, and guy wires, and the greater the number of overhead obstacles, the greater the efficiency and cost-effectiveness achieved with PKR cranes. Gone are the days when interfering system components had to be dismantled first to clear the work site for crane operations!
Working in the hard-to-reach catenary area is not a problem thanks to the special kinematics of the PKR crane series. The 80° “reverse” articulated boom delivers peak performance in the overhead line area. The double lever system ensures constant lifting capacity at different boom positions.
The combined use of PALFINGER railway devices achieves the highest efficiency. With its flexible adjustment method, PALFINGER enables the operation of multiple devices on one vehicle. The existing vehicle stability moment is perfectly distributed through communication between the devices.
A counterweight on the crane column increases lifting capacity for lightweight vehicles. For work without support legs, it is the perfect addition for heavy lifting operations.
With the earthing of all components through highly flexible grounding cables, PALFINGER provides perfect protection against electric shocks. All components - from the base to the crane tip - are connected by 2x50mm² strong grounding cables. Transparent insulation material facilitates the inspection of grounding cables for breaks or damage caused by derived current (carbonization). Devices with a work basket are also equipped with grounding cables.
The strengths of PALFINGER railway cranes come to the fore in operations at high track cants. State-of-the-art sensors incorporate the inclination in real time into the stability calculation. This allows the crane's lifting capacity to be continuously adjusted from 0° to 15°, eliminating the need for reducing I in general.
The newly developed cabin control allows for the effortless execution of complex work tasks. In addition to controlling the crane movements, the vehicle's drive can also be operated using the foot pedal
The parametric Vertical Movement Limiter of the Railway Premium Line allows maximum range of motion with the highest level of safety. The limit-curve according to EN14033 is calculated based on specific track parameters and safety measures. To prevent safety-compromising movements, Paltronic dynamically detects the crane's position in real time using state-of-the-art sensors. With an extension, up to three height limit-curves can be stored in Paltronic.
The parametric Lateral Movement Limiter of the Railway Premium Line allows maximum freedom of movement with the highest level of safety. The limit-curve is calculated based on the specific clearance profile and corresponding safety measures according to EN14033. State-of-the-art sensors combined with Paltronic ensure a PLd standard. With an extension, up to four different limit-curves can be stored in Paltronic.
The Paltronic crane control system, combined with the connected sensor system, achieves Performance Level PLd and meets the high safety standards of railway norms.
