"With PALFINGER, we associate quality, an excellent service network, high reliability, and a partnership of equals, marked by flexibility and trust," explains Alexander Schuon. These qualities were decisive in a recent inquiry important for the company’s sustainability strategy: the future use of HVO fuel in truck-mounted forklifts. Within just a few days, this request was addressed and implemented—a testament to the swift and solution-oriented collaboration.
Efficient Solutions for Construction Site Logistics
Alfred Schuon GmbH relies on all-wheel-drive truck-mounted forklifts from PALFINGER’s FLC and F3 series. These machines are specifically designed for use on construction sites and offer optimal maneuverability, even on challenging terrain, thanks to their all-wheel drive. With a lifting capacity of two tons and foldable wheel arms, they are perfectly adapted to the needs of their customers.
"Our customers benefit from a significant added value: they save the effort of organizing unloading personnel and additional equipment on-site. With PALFINGER truck-mounted forklifts, we ensure efficient and independent logistics directly at the construction site," emphasizes Alexander Schuon.
Safety and Comfort in Focus
A standout feature of the truck-mounted forklifts is the center seat, which provides the operator with an unobstructed forward view through the mast as well as excellent all-around visibility. The elevated, central seating position significantly enhances safety, as no body parts protrude to the sides, reducing the risk of injury.
Economic Advantages for Sustainable Logistics
The truck-mounted forklifts enable Alfred Schuon GmbH to offer an additional service beyond traditional transport. "This not only creates added value for our customers but also contributes to our revenue," says Alexander Schuon. The machines impress with their cost-efficiency and high-quality construction, minimizing repair expenses. If a problem does arise, PALFINGER’s extensive workshop network ensures swift assistance.
With this forward-thinking partnership, Alfred Schuon GmbH is committing not only to economic efficiency but also to sustainability—another step toward strengthening its leading position in the industry.
