Meister used the Palfinger PK 200002 L-SH to lift a number of trees 30m into the winter garden of the Alpha Rotex building in Frankfurt Germany. The crane combines a long, straight, eight-section boom, with a knuckleboom jib. The configuration allows the crane to reach a total lifting height of 49m.
The knuckleboom jib allowed Meister to lift the trees through a single open window segment of the newly built building complex, into the ninth storey, eight-storey high, atrium.
The crane supports itself against the front and rear of the carrier vehicle using four side outriggers as well as additional stabiliser rams. The crane has an intelligent stability control system HPSC and an intuitively operational radio remote control system.
With a total mounting height of 3.8m and a particularly low dead weight, the PK 200002 L-SH can be set up on four- or five-axle trucks as a complete solution straight from the factory.
