The P 370 KS offers an outreach of up to 31.5 metres, but remains relatively compact with an overall stowed length of 8.35 metres, thanks to its dual slew ring set up, originally conceived by Bison, which Palfinger acquired in 2004.
Maximum platform capacity is 500kg, while other features include fully integrated automatic set up and levelling with an inboard jacking for single lane working. The platform follows closely behind a Böcker AHK 36e trailer crane added last month.

Schmid Hebebühnenverleih is based in Munich with depots in Augsburg and Landsberg, from which it runs a fleet of aerial work platforms, spider cranes, trailer cranes and telehandlers. It promotes itself as ‘Green Schmid’ and is working to convert its entire fleet to the most environmentally friendly equipment. Schmid is also a member of PartnerLift, the German association of independent rental companies.
