The new cranes have a higher lifting capacity than their predecessor models, with the same dead weight. Equipped with Single Link Plus, crane operation is possible even in restricted spaces. Thanks to the upward angled boom system by 15 , the working range of the crane and thus the range of applications are extended considerably. Heavy-duty work is possible even under difficult conditions. When resting the arm system on the platform of the truck, the overall height is reduced. In addition, SOLID models have cathodic dip painting (CPD) long-term surface protection, a treatment that historically has only been the norm in the automotive industry. Of the SOLID models, the PK 14.501 SLD 5 is the top of the range. The components are blast-hardened with cut wire pellets, electrostatically treated with a zinc phosphate CDP coating in the dip process and finished with a two-component surface lacquer. The high-speed extension that comes as standard on Palfinger cranes increases the boom system extension speed by up to 30 percent. The return-oil utilization system uses a load-holding valve to divert the oil from the piston rod end to the pressure line instead of the tank. The resulting oil-flow increase ramps up the extension speed. Additionally, a K model, distinguished by its shortened knuckle boom, with HPLS and up to three hydraulic extension booms, is also available. The electronic lifting capacity boost can be temporarily switched on for heavy loads. The K model is designed in such a way that the crane boom can easily be stored on the platform when the grabber bucket is fitted. The SLD models can be fitted with the new HPSC-E stability monitoring system. The sensors on the systems developed by PALFINGER allow variable positioning of the stabilizers, thereby enabling the crane to leverage maximum lifting capacity in any position.
