2016 Palfinger PZG500S-1

The high volume clamshell bucket has a significant narrow frame and can therefore fulfill small digging tasks in addition to handling operation.

• Suitable for digging due to the geometry of the shells

• Compact design of the narrow frame enables lateral manual filling of the bucket without any obstacles

• Practically no material left overs to be picked up as the working edges are vertical when the buckets are open, which allows a deep plunge into a pile of material

• High stability through reinforced buckets, torsion-free frame, generously dimensioned bearing system and the use of 500 HB steel in the manufacture of cutting edges

• The combination of compensator mechanism and cylinder guard promotes advantages like parallel action, longer service life for piston rod and seals as well as significant weight savings

• The integrated pressure relief valve and non-return valve ensure a secure retention of the load

• Efficient handling with high closing forces (20 kN at an operating pressure of 26 MPa)
