Palfinger – other models: the collective page of C, M, P, Q loader cranes and tail-lift components from Bergheim near Salzburg, weights 164 to 238 kg
This page gathers Palfinger equipment the register could not assign to a named range – from compact loader cranes of the C and M ranges through the mid-size and large P and Q cranes to tail-lift components, such as ramps in cassette or floor versions. Palfinger was founded in 1932 in Bergheim near Salzburg and today ranks among the world's largest makers of hydraulic truck-mounted loader cranes; through acquired brands, the company also makes tail lifts for goods transport.

The register lists here 87 versions from the C, M, P, PC, PT and Q crane ranges as well as tail-lift ramps. For the latter, weights range from 164 to 238 kg, widths from 635 to 775 mm and heights from 1,300 to 1,630 mm.
Palfinger loader cranes mounted on truck bodies are widespread worldwide in construction, recycling and transport, competing there with makers such as Hiab and Fassi; the tail-lift division rounds out the range with hydraulic platforms for distribution transport, where cassette- and floor-version ramps allow loading and unloading without a loading dock.
When buying a used loader crane, the condition of the hydraulic cylinders and hoses, wear on the boom and slewing ring, and corrosion on load-bearing parts rank among the key checkpoints; on tail lifts and ramps, load capacity, hinge condition and hydraulic tightness are decisive. Spare parts run through the Palfinger dealer network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
