The PK23001-EH

The 20.2 metre/tonne PK 20001-K is designed to offer more power at close range, with a good hook height. Its short boom system with four hydraulic extensions offers a maximum radius of 12.5 metres, making it ideal for handling pallets and building materials, while its short stowed length is also suited for clamshell operation.

The new models include several functional design features, including: a state of the art steel and synthetic material control panel backlit by LEDs, making it easier for the operator to read and gain a rapid overview of the entire panel; all hydraulic hoses are protected with spiral anti-chafe material and larger stabiliser plates pivot to adapt to the ground surface.
