Palfinger reimagines truck mount range

Palfinger is introducing a new range of 3.5 tonne GVW hybrid truck mounts that replaces the previous series in this weight category.

The four-model telescopic TEC range, which can be mounted on trucks up to 10.5 tonnes, is represented on the company’s Bauma stand by the PT 28 T and PT 22 TJ, making their debut at the show.

The range topping PT 28 T offers fully electric operation of the platform while reaching a working height of 28m. The PT 22 TJ, installed on an Iveco eDaily, is highly compact and offers an innovative jib designed for flexibility and precision, making it suitable for urban and industrial applications.

Covering 19m to 28m working heights, the range introduces a newly developed modular component system, and are all electric drive ready, allowing customers to opt for a hybrid variant or a heavier all-electric chassis.

“We have put a lot of effort into performance improvements and modularity making maintenance easier than ever,” said Alexander Susanek, COO at Palfinger.

“In 2024, we reopened our German Löbau site as the European hub for our aerial work platforms, with a strong focus on the new TEC range. To support this, we have optimized key parts of our manufacturing lines, enhancing production efficiency and accelerating the development of our expertise on-site.”

Battery options 

Palfinger’s battery pack option enables electric operation of the platform for a typical workday. With this technology, the truck engine remains switched off during operation, thus lowering emissions and noise levels, and preserving the engine, extending its lifespan.

Additionally, the technology opens up the potential to use the equipment in cities with strict emission regulations, noise-sensitive areas like hospitals, or for indoor use.

The other two model in the range includes the PT 25 TJ, Palfinger’s most powerful 3.5 tonne platform. A key factor is the increased lateral reach, which ensures more versatility. The improved ergonomics and updated controls join a newly developed automatic stabilization system.

The fourth model, the PT 19 TJ was at the show on a 4.25-ton Ford eTransit, which is set to be officially launched in the future. The lift combines full-electric mobility with the performance of a compact aerial platform, while offering increased payload for tools and equipment, and ideal for city centres.

The PT 19 TJ, PT 22 TJ, PT 25 TJ and 28 T will all be available for order in the EMEA from now with various chassis combinations.
