Palfinger Cranes

Look for models with radio remote control. Check for recent boom inspection records.

Verify fly-jib condition if included. Check for proper outrigger pad condition.

Verify all safety systems are fully functional. Full service history is crucial for these complex units.

Inspect jib articulation points for excessive play. Check platform overload system calibration.

SLD models are simpler, which can mean fewer electronics to repair. Check boom extension cylinder seals.

Verify manual controls are smooth. Check for cylinder drift under load.

Battery health is paramount. Inquire about battery replacement history. Inspect charger functionality.

Ensure all smart functions (like P-Fold, AOS) are operational. Full service records essential.

Often specified with a grapple. Check rotator condition and hydraulic lines to end attachment.

The K-series is known for robust basic functionality. Check for any signs of overload.

Inspect for frame cracks, especially at mounting points. Older models may have limited safety features compared to newer ones.

Verify battery charge cycles and remaining capacity. Check for signs of impacts on chassis due to tight maneuvering.

K-series offers a basic, no-frills crane. Check cylinder glands for excessive leakage.

Often equipped with a grapple; inspect grapple jaws and rotation motor. Check for bent boom sections from overloading.

L-series generally had solid construction. Check for smooth operation of all boom extensions and outriggers.

Verify the condition of the base mounting plate for cracks. Ensure all safety stickers are intact.

A well-maintained battery system is key. Check for signs of impacts on the chassis from tight maneuvering.
