HPSC-Plus LOAD in use

Palfinger has expanded its HPSC (high-performance stability control) with HPSC-Plus LOAD, the first add-on in a new modular system.

The HPSC-Plus LOAD module reacts to the truck's load situation and takes the inclination as a basis for calculating the maximum load limit suitable for the situation in question. This means that the crane's reach and thus its performance can be optimised, depending on load.

Palfinger argues that inclination alone does not allow any direct conclusions to be drawn regarding stability. Consequently, it is necessary to combine two systems and inclination can be used as an additional parameter for stability.

HPSC and LOAD complement each other to ensure that the crane achieves its best possible performance with full stability in every situation, according to the company. Irrespective of whether the vehicle is unloaded, partially loaded or fully loaded, HPSC and LOAD automatically take on the task of stability monitoring, as required. The operator does not have to do any extra work to activate or deactivate the LOAD module. The crane's electronics provide the necessary intelligence.

HPSC-Plus LOAD is available for all SH and TEC 7 models. The Paltronic 150 and PALcom P7 remote control are required to display the system status.

Palfinger will shortly add two further modules: HPSC-Plus FSTAB, which shows its strength at very low stabiliser widths and very high vehicle loads, and HPSC-Plus GEOM for the TEC7 models on which length measurement on the extension system is also used to calculate stability.
