Palfinger Inc. was established in 1932 as a metalworking and repairs workshop for agricultural trailers, tippers and vehicle bodies¹. From then onward, in 1964 Palfinger expanded their business into truck-mounted hydraulic cranes, providing cranes for forestry, farming and rail-road industries. In 2010 Palfinger expanded its marine product line for dock and ship-mounted cranes. For over 80 years Palfinger has been improving and refining its technology to stay an industry leader.

Palfinger Inc. is an industry leader, but in a lot more than just cranes. Their product line includes: Boats, Hooklifts, Tail Lifts, Mobile Cranes, Passenger Lifts, Truck Mounted Forklifts, Railway Systems, Rope Access and much more. Their diverse portfolio brings people from all different fields, and Palfinger Inc. needs specialists from all around the world. Palfinger Inc. has 4500 sales and service offices in 130 countries located on 5 continents². The wide variety of people Palfinger Inc. brings together allows them to stay up to date on any technology from any part of the world. Palfinger Inc. holds over 70 patents and develops technology such as the HPSC, High Performance Stability Control which automatically adjusts crane stability for safety reasons – the most advanced technology of its kind in the world.

Having advanced technology and safety systems is great, but the most important thing is for the crane to be operational and working. The reason why customers choose Palfinger is because of the company’s focus on professionalism and providing professionals with the tools they need. Palfinger Inc. has a slogan, ‘LIFETIME EXCELLENCE’ which provides customers a sense of security. From the beginning, Palfinger Inc. revolved around three principle brand values: efficiency, reliability, and innovation². The cranes are some of the most efficient in their class, due to their lightweight metal materials and their lifting capacity. Reliability is key, since harsh construction conditions will wear down any equipment. Palfinger Inc. provides chrome plating for longevity and machine accuracy and quality control testing every step of the way. In all of their many multinational plants, parts are thoroughly checked, tested and visually inspected. Innovation comes in the form of previously-mentioned research and development, which provides the company with the newest technologies.

Palfinger Inc. cares deeply about the environment. Palfinger Inc. plants have steadily lowered their energy consumption throughout the years. Their goal of 1.8% a year was achieved almost twice over in 2015 when they accomplished a 4.25% energy efficiency Increase³. The second focus is the efficient use of raw materials. Furthermore, Palfinger Inc. takes great care in where their waste goes, especially hazardous waste, which they treat plenty of on site. Palfinger cranes have a lightweight design due to the use of high strength composite materials. These synthetic materials lead the cranes to be lighter, which means less fuel consumption and better for the environment.

With all this information, why choose any other crane? That’s what Sibwest Inc. thought, so we chose the Palfinger PK40002EH crane. Our crane has a reach of 70 ft, and can lift 1 tonne or 2200 lb at its tip. As professionals, we only trust the most professional equipment, and Palfinger can deliver the right tools for us.
