POWER LINK PLUS – Maximum Flexibility
Power Link Plus reverse linkage system allowis the knuckle boom to tilt upward by up to 15° beyond horizontal. This increased flexibility supports safe and efficient lifting in confined spaces and around obstacles. At the same time, the crane folds compactly on the truck within legal height limits, delivering smooth movements, high precision, and reliable performance in demanding applications.
High Speed Extension – Faster Cycles
High Speed Extension increases boom extension and retraction speed by up to 30% by reusing return oil within the hydraulic system. Faster movements reduce load cycle times and improve overall productivity. The crane completes more work in less time without compromising control or precision.
HPSC – Smart Stability, More Reach
High Performance Stability Control (HPSC) continuously calculates crane stability based on the real position of the stabilizers. The system automatically adjusts the permitted working range for each setup situation, maximizing the lifting capacity even when space is limited. This improves safety, increases usable reach, and gives the operator clear, reliable guidance during crane operation.
Low-Maintenance Extension System
Low-maintenance extension system eliminates the need for regular greasing by using self-lubricating synthetic sliding elements and corrosion-resistant coating. This keeps the boom clean, reduces service effort, and prevents lubricant contamination of loads or work areas. Smoother extension movements, lower maintenance costs, and longer service life improve overall efficiency and resale value.
PALTRONIC – Smart Crane Control
PALTRONIC control electronics continuously monitor crane load, position, and stability in real time. Sensors send data to the system, which automatically activates safety, assistance, and performance functions when needed. This results in smoother movements, overload protection, improved stability, and easier operation—allowing the operator to focus fully on safe, precise load handling.
Long-Lasting Coating for Maximum Protection
Advanced coating technology protects components against corrosion, wear, and harsh weather conditions. Multi-stage surface treatment and durable, eco-friendly coatings create a tough, elastic finish with high impact and UV resistance. This extends service life, maintains a high-quality appearance, and preserves resale value while reducing environmental impact and long-term maintenance effort.
