PALFINGER is expanding its comprehensive product portfolio in  the heavy-duty crane segment to include another TEC-series model. The  new PK 135.002 TEC 7 offers an outstanding ratio of lifting capacity to  dead weight. This new crane can be equipped with three different fly  jibs and features a full range of sensor technology, which allows it to  achieve reaches and lifting capacities comparable to cranes one or two  classes higher.

Specialist for heavy-duty loads and high outreaches

The PK 135.002 TEC 7 can be put to an impressively diverse range of  uses: whether performing heavy-duty operations, precision assembly work,  operations requiring long reaches, container handling, lift system  installation or roofing work, the crane is in its element. Three  different fly jibs on three different extension booms can be fitted to  extend the reach of the PK 135.002 TEC 7: The fly jibs PJ 240, PJ 190  and PJ 150. The last two are brand-new designs and, like the PJ 240, they are  technically based on the application of the new P-Profile.

Exceptionally cost-effective

In a direct comparison with the Palfinger PK 150002, the rigorously  lightweight design and the P-Profile make this new model some 2,000 kg  lighter – all while offering up to 35% higher lifting capacity when used  with the fly jib.

Designed for payload reserves

Two choices are available when it comes to choosing the carrier  vehicle for the PK 135.002 TEC 7. A four-axle truck with a permissible  total weight of 32 t leaves 2,500–3,000 kg of free payload. A five-axle  truck with a total weight of 40 t leaves as much as 8,000 kg of free  payload. The customer benefits are obvious. No permissions are required  for special transport operations with back-up vehicles, nor are there  any route restrictions. Nonetheless, customers benefit from a  universally deployable vehicle with payload.

Innovative developments

Thanks to MEXT, TOOL and WEIGH, the PK 135.002 TEC 7 features a range  of additional innovative options. MEXT allows one or two mechanical  extensions to be monitored by sensors and as a result to be integrated  into the overload protection system. TOOL allows various additional  devices, which are connected via the multifunctional adapter (MFA), to  be included in the calculation of the stability limit. And finally,  WEIGH allows crane operators to weigh the load directly with the crane,  thereby getting an overview of the positions which can be reached.

Tried-and-tested options

Operators can also choose from a wide range of tried-and-tested  options such as P-Fold, DPS-C and HPSC-Plus GEOM. With the P-Fold  assistance system, crane operators can fold and unfold the crane quickly  and easily using only finger movements. The intelligent controller  coordinates the movements of the crane and fly jib up to a predefined  working position. With semi-automatic controls, the process is quick and  comfortable.

DPS-C increases the lifting power on the fly jib tremendously by  including the centres of gravity of the load and dead weight in the  Paltronic calculations. HPSC-Plus GEOM uses the same effect, resulting in a reach-dependent and  therefore optimised stability monitoring. In situations where the  vehicle is not fully supported or the reach is limited, the lifting  capacity is increased significantly.

The PK 135.002 TEC 7 – an all-rounder for diverse applications.
