A NEW TAKE ON BEVERAGE LOGISTICS: PALFINGER LAUNCHES COMPACT MIDDLE-SEAT TRUCK-MOUNTED FORKLIFT

PALFINGER completes its FL range with the FLM 15. This compact middle-seat model is lightweight, precise and has been developed especially to meet the challenges of modern logistics. It delivers maximum efficiency even in confined spaces. Especially in its fully electric version, the FLM 15 electric meets the specific requirements of the beverage and retail sectors as a quiet, low-emission solution.

With its extensive portfolio, PALFINGER is strengthening its position as a leading provider for truck-mounted forklifts in all categories: side-seat and middle-seat models, on both standard and 4-way versions, diesel and fully electric power units, as well as remote-controlled and box-mounted models. This portfolio supports customers operating in a wide range of industries.

Premium-quality manufacturing complements the range of products: high-quality components, robust construction, and custom service offerings ensure maximum reliability throughout the full life cycle. A strong global sales and service network also ensures rapid support and maximum commitment.

The FLM 15: precise, compact and reliable

The latest addition to the FL range has been developed to meet the special requirements of beverage and retail logistics where strength, efficiency, and precise handling are key. With its compact design and a load capacity of 1.5 tons, combined with the lowest weight in its class starting at 1,420 kilograms (without forks), it performs particularly well in confined work areas.

Its sensitive drive system and responsive controls make the FLM 15 the ideal transport solution for fragile goods such as glass bottles. Its compact mast and optimized front wheels enable maximum control when moving loads.

“We listen to our customers very closely and consistently integrate their requirements into our product development,” says Gerhard Auer, VP Product Line Special Lifting Solutions at PALFINGER. “The FLM 15 is the result: lightweight, efficient and reliable. It combines controlled operation, low weight and maximum availability, making it precisely tailored to the needs of retail and beverage businesses.”

The FLM 15 and FLM 15 electric are now available to order in the EMEA region. Find more information here: FL range

Convenience and safety teamed up with full electric operation

All models in the FL range, side-seat and middle-seat, are also available as fully electric versions. They are almost noiseless and emission-free on site. Thanks to their low weight and electric drive system, they are perfect for applications where conventional solutions have reached their limits, such as narrow driveways, late and early deliveries in the dark, or indoors where there are strict noise and emissions regulations.

The FLM series offers the very latest level of convenience to make every delivery easier. With the centered and elevated seat position and the externally routed hydraulic lines along the mast, the operator has a 360° view. In addition, the FLM series provides a wide roof for comprehensive weather protection and large side panels for maximum safety, strength and a superior operating experience.

Strategy 2030+: Lifting Customer Value

The FLM 15 demonstrates how the recently launched Strategy 2030+ works in practice. “Solutions like the FLM 15 bring our strategy to life. We are pushing limits, setting trends and translating specific customer needs into smart lifting solutions, supported by the highest quality and sustainable services,” explains Alexander Susanek, COO of PALFINGER.

The Strategy 2030+ follows a holistic approach: With maximum customer focus, targeted investments and optimized processes, PALFINGER is strengthening its position on the market and creating the basis for sustainable, profitable growth. In line with the strategic direction Lifting Customer Value, PALFINGER develops solutions that offer real added value over the entire life cycle.
