Compact & Precise! - The new PALFINGER P6 Radio Remote Control

02.12.2024

The new P6 radio remote control from PALFINGER will be available for TEC Loader Cranes from 2025. Together with the premium PALCOM P7 radio remote control, it completes the portfolio for the TEC range. With its compact and lightweight design, the P6 helps crane operators to carry out their jobs efficiently and comfortably.

Industrial applications are becoming increasingly complex, and the demands on machines and their operation are constantly increasing. A compact control system for Loader Cranes is essential, especially for fast-paced applications in urban environments or for special jobs. Crane operators say it should be light and small. And yet as reliable and uncomplicated to operate as possible with maximum functionality. The P6 radio remote control, which was developed with partner SCANRECO and in close consultation with customers, is all this.

Precise control with a compact design

The P6 is one of the lightest and smallest radio remote controls with color display on the market and scores with its ease of use without sacrificing performance. Thanks to the redesigned linear lever and joysticks, the P6 offers even more precise control and allows crane operators to carry out even complex movements in a controlled and efficient manner. An integrated acceleration sensor also ensures the safety of crane operators: if the radio remote control registers a fall, for example, crane operation is stopped automatically. An ergonomic design, which is complemented by the carrying strap systems - either as a hip or shoulder strap - offers comfortable handling that makes everyday work much easier.

 

Powerful battery

Thanks to the clear design and the integrated 3.5-inch TFT color display, users always have full control over the crane and its functions. With a battery life of more than 20 hours and the option of working for a further 20 hours with an additional battery, the P6 is also suitable for long periods of use. PALFINGER relies on a stable radio connection to ensure that work can be carried out undisturbed and without interruption under all circumstances. A 2.4 GHz frequency band, comparable to the familiar wireless LAN, ensures a reliable and powerful connection with the P6.

Flexible for different applications

With up to ten console variants, the P6 can be adapted to the individual functional scope of the TEC Loader Cranes. This allows companies to select the right control system for their needs and benefit from the rapid availability of spare parts and service. This makes the P6 a flexible solution in the most demanding application scenarios. “Direct customer feedback and cooperation with our partner SCANRECO have resulted in a radio remote control that is geared towards the real requirements of everyday working life and will make work assignments even safer, more efficient and more comfortable in the future,” explains Michael Völker, Head of Product Management Crane at PALFINGER EMEA GmbH. The P6 radio remote control can be ordered for all TEC Loader Cranes from PALFINGER from January 2025.
