NEW: truck-mounted boom lift by Palfinger

PALFINGER is opening a new chapter in the field of ultra-modern access platforms with the new “Jumbo class NX” model series. The combination of innovative technology, weight-optimised design and unparalleled flexibility during usage makes the new P 480 access platform a universal talent for the most varied of tasks.

The unique manoeuvrability of the new P 480 is all thanks to the new additional jib boom. The hydraulically operated X-jib between the upper boom and the workman basket gives the new P 480 access platform with a 240˚ movement radius unparalleled abilities when it comes to assuming a precise position high up in the air. Together with an amazing 400° (2x200°) workman basket rotation exact alignment with buildings, masts or beneath overhangs, just like a wrist on an outstretched arm. Thanks to this enormous flexibility and the sensitive proportional controller, the new access platform can now take on demanding tasks at a huge height as well, tasks in which conventional access platforms reach their limits due to their design.
