P550 Expands the Jumbo Class NX

The jumbo class NX of PALFINGER’s access platforms is expanded by a new and even larger version: The model P550 inspires with a working height of 55 meters and a reach of 40 meters. What has stayed the same are all the benefits of the jumbo-class platforms in the new generation: An additional X-jib and basket rotation of 2 x 200 degrees ensure that the units are particularly movable.

This takes the flexibility of the jumbo class NX to even greater heights.

The introduction of the P480 and the start of the new jumbo class NX are followed by the second PALFINGER access platform in the next generation: The company is launching the next-largest model in the form of the P550. A working height of up to 55 meters and lateral reach of more than 40 meters significantly expand the bandwidth of this class. With a range of 20 meters, the upper boom in particular has even more leeway than that of the P480.

Within that range, the P550 convinces with the particular flexibility that distinguishes the NX class. The additional X-jib between the upper boom and the work basket already proved itself in the P480. It can be controlled individually for especially precise positioning and offers a work area of 240 degrees. This is supplemented by a basket rotation of 2 x 200 degrees. It is just as flexible as a wrist above an extended arm and allows exact orientation.
The new PALFINGER access platform P550 will celebrate its world premiere at the Intermat Paris (April 20 to 25).
