Project Overview

PALcom P7

Perfect form meets perfect function

The entirely newly developed PALFINGER loader crane radio remote control PALcom P7 combines innovative design with perfect operator-friendliness, safety and new standard in ergonomics and working efficiency.

The exclusive loader crane remote control handset features a modern, ergonomic design. The hand rests and set-up of the control levers are carefully chosen to enable fatigue-free work. A „PALdrive“ control knob is located centrally on the radio remote control. Together with an intuitive menu with a large colour display, it also ensures easy, safe operation.

The perfect human-machine interface comprises two ergonomically optimised shoulder strap systems with large areas of padding that ensure perfect wearing comfort.

For the first time in the crane sector, a central 4.1-inch TFT colour display with transflective technology is used in the new PALcom P7. Thanks to the “transflective” technology, the large display is easily to read, even in blazing sunlight, but it is still highly energy-efficient. The operator therefore gains information about all important operating conditions at all times and is guided clearly and safely.

The energy management system of the new PALcom P7 is another major innovation. The intelligent charging station checks the discharge state, need for refreshment and ambient temperature of the batteries before quick charging. From all of this information, the charging device inputs the optimum charging current, thereby extending the service life of the batteries over the long term. Reduced power consumption enables the PALcom P7 to run for up to twelve hours in continuous operation without recharging.

New and innovative safety concepts have been integrated in the radio remote control. Safety features such as rollover and acceleration sensors that prevent unintentional crane movements have been built in. For example, if the control handset exceeds a certain inclination angle or the radio console falls to the ground, the radio remote control system automatically cuts out.

In addition to the standard safety devicesfeatured in all commercially available radioremote controls, the PALcom P7 is also fitted with a rollover protection device and an acceleration sensor. Both functions make crane operation even safer as unintentional operation of the crane is prevented.

The „intelligent“ charging station measures the battery‘s charge state and temperature as well as the temperature of the surrounding area, thereby facilitating a gentle and quick charging process. In addition, the charging station checks whether it and the battery are operating properly. The charging station also features a refresh function, which ensures full battery capacity throughout the entire service life of the battery.

Two strap systems are available for the PALcom P7. Both carrying straps have been ergonomically optimised in order to facilitate fatigue-free work. Large-area padding on the body prevents pressure marks. The usual waist strap is included as standard. The innovative diagonal strap can also be ordered.
