PALFINGER Construction and Building Material Handling solutions

Transport more material each trip

In building material transport, every trip counts. With efficient vehicle setups, optimized processes and the right combination of loader crane, forklift and hooklift system, you increase delivery output and reduce empty miles.

Load and unload faster - do more jobs

Short turnaround times are a competitive advantage: self-unloading, less maneuvering and clear workflows help you save minutes per delivery – and hours per week.

Move materials more precisely & safely

Tight access, uneven ground or sensitive goods: with controlled movements, stable reach and the right gripping/handling tools, you place materials exactly where they will be installed.

Built to excel in construction & building material handling jobs

Building material transport

Traditional building material transport covers construction-site logistics from warehouse or plant. For hauliers, it is crucial to unload directly next to the truck or lift loads to higher levels on site using a PALFINGER loader crane. When materials need to be moved precisely to a defined location, PALFINGER truck-mounted forklifts are the ideal solution.

Structural and civil engineering

Sophisticated lifting solutions simplify everyday work on the construction site—day after day. In structural and civil engineering, flexible load positioning and demanding installation tasks are part of the routine. PALFINGER crane and lifting solutions support you with comfort and assistance systems for fast and safe site operations.

Roofers and carpenters

PALFINGER supports you with powerful crane solutions for lifting timber structures, transporting prefabricated components, and refurbishing roofs. Lifting, installation, and unloading at height become straightforward thanks to winch solutions. Special systems required for personal fall protection under occupational safety regulations—such as the Personnel Protection Mode / FPM—provide additional support when working on roofs.

Stonemasonry

Lightweight, compact cranes on small, agile vehicles—these are the key characteristics of the ideal stonemason crane. The bodywork is optimized for high payload and delivers maximum stability and operator comfort. Thanks to short wheelbases, vehicles master the tightest turning radii. The builds feature a range of highlights such as dedicated lashing points, aluminum side walls, forklift impact protection, and more—making work easier and safer.

Scaffolding

For scaffolders, long outreach and easy operation are essential. Erecting scaffolding and work platforms requires sensitive, intuitive control of the installation crane. Smart assistance systems and well-matched equipment support crane operators in their daily work. With a maneuverable truck-mounted forklift, materials can be transported quickly to the point of use.

Forming

Efficient forming work requires precise handling and full control, even under demanding site conditions. PALFINGER crane solutions enable the safe lifting, positioning, and relocation of formwork elements throughout every construction phase. With controlled movements, stable reach, and the right attachments, formwork systems can be aligned accurately and installed efficiently - ensuring smooth workflows on site.

Dry wall

Drywall construction demands accuracy, ergonomics, and a smooth material flow. With PALFINGER crane solutions, drywall panels, profiles, and prefabricated elements can be transported and positioned safely and efficiently. Controlled lifting movements and precise load handling support installation work even in confined or hard-to-reach areas - significantly easing everyday jobsite tasks.

Precast & Concrete

Handling precast concrete and concrete elements places high demands on lifting capacity and precision. PALFINGER provides powerful crane solutions for the safe lifting, transport, and exact placement of heavy components. Whether on the construction site or in the precast plant, stable reach, sensitive control, and robust technology ensure efficient operations and maximum safety.
