Solid performance

The PK 165.002 TEC 7 is designed for carrier vehicles with a maximum permissible gross vehicle weight of 32t, achieving a new dimension in terms of weight saving.

The PK 165.002 TEC 7 combines extraordinary strength with a large reach, yet is 800 kg lighter than its predecessor, the PK 150.002.

The company says there is a further market innovation in store in the form of the fall protection mode feature, offering a "personal protection mode" for loader cranes and it is thus an "absolute pioneer when it comes to safety".

The L-crane model series includes some technical innovations: slewing gear mounted in an oil bath, internally routed hoses and an ergonomically optimised top seat with new joystick control. These characteristics improve the efficiency of the day-to-day handling of building materials and are a strong argument for the new L series, the company says.

The new Solid models will replace the existing models PK 16.001, PK 16.001-K and PK 18.001 EH. A characteristic feature of the new Solid models is a boom system that can be overstretched with a single elbow lever, known as the Single Link Plus. Solid models are offered in three different configurations.

The PK 17.001 SLD 1 is the NON-CE entry level model and is delivered without overload protection in basic version. The PK 17.001 SLD 3 is already equipped with Paltronic 50 in the basic version and available as NON-CE and CE-Version.

The topversion of the Solid models is the PK 19.001 SLD 5. It is equipped with Paltronic 50, E-HPLS, radio remote control and a load-sensing control valve. The new Solid compact crane series celebrates its global premiere at Bauma.

Due to the Single Link Plus the PK 5.001 SLD 3, the PK 7.001 K SLD 3 and the PK 7.501 SLD 5 provide much better movement geometry than previous models and with the PK 7.501K SLD 5, also a HPLS crane in the 7 m range is being offered for the first time. The reach has been extended from 6.9m to 8.8m by means of a third extension boom.

The new EPSILON M12Z provides usage-optimised design, extraordinary comfort and outstanding technology, which are combined in these top-class cranes and make everyday jobs much easier with new reaches and precise control, the company says. In addition, the tried-and-tested HPSC system can ensure particularly efficient stability monitoring as standard. The new Master Drive top seat adds to the performance of the Epsilon model series by means of a multifunction command centre with perfect ergonomics, operational safety and comfort.

The new P 750 completes the Jumbo Class NX (next generation) with a working height of 75m and a lateral reach of 39m it gets best marks in its class.

The company says: "As usual in this class the hydraulically operated X-jib between the upper boom and the workman basket gives the new P 750 unparalleled abilities and allows for precision working at the highest level.

"It can be controlled individually for especially precise positioning and offers a work area of 240 degrees. This is supplemented by a basket rotation of 2 x 200 degrees. It is just as flexible as a wrist above an extended arm and allows exact orientation."

The new P750 can now take on demanding tasks at a huge height thanks to this enormous flexibility and the sensitive proportional controller.

By means of additional stowage boxes beneath the aluminium cover, the Jumbo Class NX offers comprehensive storage space for tools and equipment.
