Palfinger customers are faced with complex manipulations every day that combine a longer reach than the old TEC models and maximum lifting capacity. Inspired by these challenges, Palfinger has developed the new TEC crane series based on the experience it has gained as a market leader for more than 90 years. The new innovative TEC crane series, in addition to its “attractive” appearance, brings impressive precision that makes the new Palfinger crane series smarter, stronger and above all faster in operation. The new series introduces an incredible 9 new models!
Why is the TEC series so ingenious?
PALTRONIC 180
The TEC series of cranes is equipped with PALTRONIC 180 control electronics. The new control electronics offer more intelligent, efficient and simple operations through three essential functions:
- Leveling Assistant – the leveling assistant supports operators in the process of leveling the truck before work, the process is semi-automatic with one lever control.
- Smart Control – “smart” control is a system that makes it easier for the operator to control the crane in such a way that control is possible with only one joystick.
- Memory Position – memorizing positions enables memorizing 4 positions of the crane in the space that can be reached by operating with two control levers.
In addition to the above, PALTRONIC 180 offers additional systems for comfortable and efficient crane management:
- The P-Fold system allows the crane to be folded into the transport position and working position with a single lever on the remote control.
- The Rope Tension Control (RTS) system ensures that the cable tension is automatically corrected with the movements of the crane boom.
- The Synchronised Rope Control (SRC) system maintains a constant distance between the crane boom and the hook during crane boom movement.
- The DPS-Plus & DPS-C system provides additional lifting power to the fly-jib in all crane positions.
- The HPSC-Plus LOAD system calculates the maximum reach taking into account the load in the truck, it is about optimizing the crane’s operation taking into account the load and the extension of the stabilizer.
- HPSC-Plus GEOM enables an accurate calculation of the center of gravity taking into account the length of the extended extensions, since the extensions have sensors that measure the length of the extended extensions. Taking this into account, the Palfinger crane calculates the optimal load diagram.
- The AOS anti-oscillation system prevents the load from swaying during sudden changes in direction.
- SOFT STOP ensures a gradual braking of the crane movement before the final stop.
- The MEXT system ensures that mechanical extensions are detected by the crane’s sensors so that they are integrated into the overload protection system.
- The MFAJ function allows the use of the MFA mechanical jib extension (hydraulic extension) within the overload protection system.
- The WEIGH function allows weighing the load and displaying the weighed load on the screen of the PALCom P7 remote control.
LX-6 CONTROL VALVE
The increased sensitivity of the new Palfinger TEC cranes is possible thanks to the LX-6 control valves, in combination with the specially developed PALcom P7 remote control.
PALCOM P7
The PALcom P7 radio control is an ergonomic and anti-stress remote control that also provides a wide range of innovative support systems. The “PALdrive” rotary dial on the remote control provides quick access to the main menu with a clear color display that ensures easy and safe operation of the Palfinger crane.
P-PROFILE
The common signature of all Palfinger cranes of the TEC series is the P-profile boom. The construction solution of the P-profile makes the cranes significantly lighter. This of course means more payload. The crane is more stable during operation, enabling the operator to work more precisely. In addition to all of the above, P-profile has significantly lower maintenance costs.
NEW TEC DESIGN – ELEGANT AND FUNCTIONAL
The new design of TEC cranes visually stands out not only for its P-profile, but also for its recognizable elegance. The new models are specially decorated with the high-quality PALFINGER logo integrated in a gray shade on the main boom of the crane. All other logos are applied in decent white color.
The following cranes of the new TEC series are available:
