The Palfinger PK19001 SLD5 table lists 1,200 kg at 12 m. It also lists 2,000 kg at 8 m, 2,600 kg at 6.5 m and 4,100 kg at 4 m. Confirm the actual crane configuration and current load chart for the proposed lift; the published table is a selection guide.
Is ROPS included on the Volvo combo?
The Volvo FMX specification lists ROPS as included. A bull bar, UHF radio, reverse beeper, roof-mounted revolving light and fire extinguisher are also listed. Send any additional site requirements to CST Hire so the allocated truck can be checked against them.
Does the Volvo have equipment for tilt-tray loading?
Its listed equipment includes a tilt tray with a winch and container pins, plus air bag suspension. Explain whether the load will be winched, lifted or loaded by equipment at the site. The team can review the loading method alongside the vehicle and crane specifications.
How does the Volvo compare with the UD Quon?
Both list a 7.5 m tilt tray and 10 t payload. The Volvo sheet specifies a Palfinger PK19001 SLD5. The UD sheet includes that Palfinger configuration and a separate Ferrari 7183 configuration with different reach and capacity figures. Confirm the crane fitted to the truck offered for your hire.
