The need to continue innovating and exploring is emphasized in Palfinger’s new FHS Series of truck-mounted forklifts.
“We see challenges not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity,” said Palfinger CEO Andreas Klauser. “We create solutions and provide answers. That is what drives us as the world market leader, and therefore the entire industry as well. Our customers are always the center of our focus. Because we can only deliver suitable products and solutions if we know their challenges.”
Reinvented with customers input, Palfinger’s global and regional teams have developed new features, innovations, and patents to revolutionize the truck-mounted forklift. The full range of forklifts in the 5,500-lb. capacity class are available in four configurations—Standard, Standard Reach, 4-Way, and 4-Way Reach—and with 10‘ or 12‘ masts.
The exterior has a higher ground clearance, lower profile engine hood, powder-coated chassis, and contemporary angular styling. The interior cabin includes a patented swivel seat assembly with 25 degree outward rotation, increasing access when entering and exiting the machine. Finally, there is an integrated side guard providing extra protection for the operator.
On the exterior, the Palfinger Ground Control System comes standard on all models and allows operators to mount and dismount the forklift from a truck or trailer without climbing on board. Additionally, the Patented Reach System extends the forks forward to the centerline of the trailer while the mast remains firmly against the side of the truck or trailer. This allows the operator to lift full capacity loads at maximum reach while retaining the ability to tilt and side shift at all times.
As the North American market continues to be one of Palfinger’s key markets, Palfinger looks to the future with confidence and continues to expand its product offering of innovative lifting solutions tailored to the needs of North American customers.
