• Palfinger distributor TH White of Devizes, Wilts, has introduced the Austrian company's Palift range of hook loaders.
Three chassis-mounted model ranges, PLK, PLS and PLT, are designed to handle a variety of container types.
The PLK range offers a low-lifting radius and the hook arm can be operated separately to handle containers of different lengths.
The tilting hook arm design will move synchronously with the main boom. As it moves into the vertical position the hook arm draws then locks the container into position.
The 11-models PLS range is a stiff-arm double link design suitable for multi-wheeler chassis. It pivots to the rear from where it can draw the container on to the chassis. Once level the telescopic pivot arm pulls it forward and locks it into position.
Also designed for multiwheelers is the 12-model telescopic PLT range. All Palift hook loaders are designed to be operated from the truck cab.
