Building and construction companies need to transport construction machinery and other working machines (excavators, forklift, etc …), they also load sand, gravel and other building material like liquids (fuel, water), for their own use, on the other hand they also have to bring away the building material waste. According to the requirements profile - e.g. manoeuvrable or robust – PALFINGER offers the right solution for each job, whether it is a hookloader or a skiploader.

The time for cutting and harvesting is generally short. The farming industry requires efficiency for workers and vehicles. With a hookloader just one vehicle is needed: crops are thrown in the containers, which are collected and brought back to the farm. Out of season, with less work, farmers can use the vehicle for other applications (transport and building waste, recycling material transport, wood and timber transport, etc). The PALFINGER Hookloader is perfect for carrying out harvesting work in agriculture with dedicated options and powerfull solutions.

Cities, fire brigades, road maintenance services have to manage a large variety of different duties with limited budgets.
