Australia's largest mobile crane - the Palfinger PK 74002 - is operated by Adelaide based City Crane Trucks. It is also the largest Palfinger model in the country, combining all the advantages of a Palfinger heavy-duty crane in one model - strength, and a low deadweight, while its innovative crane technology ensures enormous lifting capacity.

The various optional features such as Dual Power System and Power Link Plus open up a whole range of job applications.

Performance highlights include a maximum lifting movement of 6880kNm, a lifting capacity of 23,000kg, hydraulic outreach of 20.4m, manual outreach of 25.1m and maximum outreach with fly jib of 32.6m and an endless slewing angle.

Providing a maximum lifting capacity of 14.8 tonnes at 4.4m outreach and 4.54 tonnes at 13.6m, the PK 74002 has been in demand since its introduction in May picking up heavy-duty freight.
