Palfinger to release new products at bauma 2013

Palfinger has proposed to introduce three products at the Bauma 2013. The Palfinger Hybrid is an efficient solution to cranes used in sensitive places of deployment. An innovative motor pump group on request manages entirely without any exhaust gases or noise at all, effective in residential and other sensitive areas.The operator first switches the combustion engine off. Then the operator simply connects the Palfinger pump group to the local power grid by means of a cable drum with required voltage of 400 V at 50 Hz. The operator can now switch on the hybrid drive. The entire electrical system including all fuses and the emergency off switch can be found in a separate switch box.

An integrated power control system ensures a high working speed for the crane at all times. Another premiere product of Palfinger is the hydraulic units for knuckle boom and wood cranes in stationary operation. The units are available with four power levels of 15 kW, 30 kW, 55 kW and 75 kW. Due to integrated power control system high working pressures of up to 365 bars and delivery rates of up to 195 litres per minute are possible. The engine also features ultra-high energy efficiency. The entire system consisting of the unit and crane are perfectly adapted to each other, and this guarantees quick and easy installation.

The customer can equip the unit with a suitable oil pan and a tank heater which are also available against order. A variable hydraulic pump with a changeable direction of rotation is the third product to be introduced by Palfinger. This revolutionary system, which Palfinger developed together with the French hydraulic specialist Hydro Leduc, is designed to make it much easier to select pumps on the truck. All components are optimally adapted to each other and work very well together. (Source: The Masterbuilder)
