With a capacity of 16 metre/ tonne (52ft/ton) the PK16000 is a new truck-mounted loader from Palfinger. The boom can be extended to 9.2 metres (30ft) and the loader occupies a space of approximately 914mm (36in) on the chassis when stowed.
Lifting capacity for the standard unit is 8,000kg at 2m (158cwt at 6.6ft) and 2,000kg at 7.5m (39cwt at 25(t). A double hydraulic boom version gives a lift of 1,630kg at 9.2m (32cwt at 30ft).
Outreach can be increased to 15.2m (50(t) by adding manual extensions and the dewing arc is 400°. Stabilizer jacks extend to 4.3m (14(t) spread and the loader's controls are duplicated on both sides of the vehicle, although these can be replaced with high seat controls.
