PALFINGER unveils eco-efficient and Smart Solutions, and pushes for comprehensive digitalisation of all areas

Andreas Klauser, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of PALFINGER, said “The IAA Transportation stands for future-driven solutions and innovation. Accordingly, it offers PALFINGER the best platform to provide concrete answers to the major challenges of our time.”

In 2022, the world’s renowned technology company, PALFINGER, began implementing its Vision & Strategy 2030. “With it, we formulate a proactive approach to the megatrends digitalisation, sustainability and social change,” adds Andreas Klauser.

Comprehensive digitalisation of all areas

Based on the two pillars ‘Go Digital’ and ‘Go for Solutions’, PALFINGER is driving comprehensive digitalisation of all areas of the company, in order to offer its customers and partners - integrated complete solutions.

Andreas Klauser stated, “In Hanover, we present solutions that make our customers’ work safer, more economical and more efficient — and which all contribute to the implementation of our Strategy 2030.”

Electrification and eco-efficient solutions

PALFINGER offers its customers and partners future-proof and sustainable solutions

The time for a sustainable future is now. That is why PALFINGER is launching its complete implementations and solutions at the IAA. Ultimately, they target the measurable reduction of CO2 emissions and noise. To achieve this, PALFINGER uses the rapidly growing range of e-mobility options.

With its intelligent eDRIVE system and the ZF eWorX module, PALFINGER offers its customers and partners future-proof and sustainable solutions that are characterised by efficiency and versatility in daily use.

Focus on customers

To make full use of the potential of all its solutions and products, PALFINGER relies on the many possibilities offered by digitalisation. This starts already at the very beginning of the customer journey. Under the motto ‘reach anything’, PALFINGER puts customers at the centre of all activities.

To be able to offer solutions tailored precisely to their customers’ needs, the PALFINGER product configurator notes all customer-specific requirements and focuses on the key aspects, so that PALFINGER employees are able to provide the most comprehensive advice. This reduces lead times and sources of error.

The new e-commerce shop with over 100,000 products, from spare parts to workshop equipment, also enables a faster and easier way to order and supply spare parts.

Smart Solutions

A central goal of the ‘Vision & Strategy 2030’ is for PALFINGER to offer its customers and partners hardware and software from a single source. The specialist for innovative crane and lifting solutions is, therefore, creating a product portfolio that combines greater functionality and added value.

The IAA will see PALFINGER launch its Smart Solutions, such as Smart Control, Memory position and the Levelling Assistant — all of which are solutions that are the starting point for turning hard work into smart work and offer an outlook on what PALFINGER is planning for the future.

Smart Services

PALFINGER continues to exploit the potentials of digitalisation for its customers and partners

PALFINGER continues to exploit the potentials of digitalisation for its customers and partners. With the help of Smart Services, the technology solutions company increases the performance of its lifting solutions, over the entire operating period. It means that customers can optimally plan deployment to upcoming jobs and schedule downtime in advance.

In the age of digital networking, PALFINGER Connected, consisting of Fleet Monitor, Operator Monitor and Service Cockpit, ensures a continuous flow of information between fleet managers, company owners, service partners and the people operating PALFINGER lifting solutions. This reduces downtime, optimises services and guarantees the most efficient use of all resources.

Innovative new products

All PALFINGER solutions and services focus on the customer. This is also reflected in the development of new products, such as the weight optimised PTC 1000 LLW tail lift, the new loader crane series with the PK 250 TEC, which supports customers even better and GENERATION 3, the new series of PALFINGER Epsilon forestry cranes.

Their combined strengths and new technological developments achieve even higher performance, longer reach, greater cost-effectiveness and more eco-efficiency.

Andreas Klauser adds, “That's what makes PALFINGER so special, we combine our expertise as a machine manufacturer with the most innovative technology, and we work together closely with our customers. Together, we are shaping the future. At the IAA, we are demonstrating what we can do.”
