PALFINGER aerial work platforms provide safe and efficient access to great heights across multiple applications, ranging from window cleaning and building maintenance to traffic light repair and tree pruning. With the TEC range offering a working height of 19 to 28 meters, PALFINGER has implemented numerous performance improvements, weight optimizations and introduced a newly developed modular component system. Also, all TEC models are ready for electric drive, allowing customers to opt for a hybrid variant or a heavier all-electric chassis.

“With the four models of our new TEC range of aerial work platforms that we are presenting at bauma, we have put a lot of effort into performance improvements and modularity making maintenance easier than ever. We are now offering a new level of platforms tailored to our customers’ needs”, says Alexander Susanek, COO at PALFINGER. “In 2024, we reopened our German Löbau site as the European hub for our aerial work platforms, with a strong focus on the new TEC range. To support this, we have optimized key parts of our manufacturing lines, enhancing production efficiency and accelerating the development of our expertise on-site.

Four models, one goal: Maximum efficiency

The enhanced TEC range offers more power and less weight for improved efficiency – for all chassis and weight classes ranging from 3.5 to 10.5 tons. The entire TEC range fully complies with European GSR 2.0 safety regulations that aim at improvingvehicle safety standards.Modular components across all four models streamline maintenance, reduce service times, and minimize downtime, making repairs more cost-effective. Weight optimization, higher basket loads, reinforced materials and improved ergonomics allow safe operation with a sensitive and precise control due to the intuitive control system.

PALFINGER’s TEC range: Sustainable and future-proof

When developing the TEC range, PALFINGER placed a strong emphasis on creating a sustainable solution for customers – both ecologically and economically. PALFINGER’s battery pack options enable electric operation of the platform for a typical workday, allowing for emission-free performance on-site. With this technology, the truck engine remains switched off during platform operation, ensuring reduced emissions and minimal noise. This not only lowers emissions and noise levels but also preserves the engine, extending truck's engine lifespan. Additionally, this technology opens up new deployment opportunities, such as in cities with strict emission regulations, noise-sensitive areas like hospitals, or for indoor use – further improving overall efficiency and return on investment.

Especially for rental businesses, maximizing operating times and increasing productivity are crucial for economic success. The key lies in maximum flexibility and utilization – one aerial work platform can be used for multiple applications – and the quality of the components, which ensures product durability. PALFINGER’s smart approach to simplifying maintenance – particularly in the TEC range – makes it a reliable and cost-effective solution for this industry. Also, PALFINGER CONNECTED plus+ helps maximize uptime and efficiency by providing fleet managers with access to real-time usage insights and remote diagnostics.

PT 28 T and PT 22 TJ: Two world premieres at bauma 2025

The PT 28 T and PT 22 TJ make their global debut at bauma 2025, pushing the limits of what is possible in the 3.5 ton class. The PT 28 T is one of the few aerial work platforms in its category to offer a fully electric operation of the platform while reaching a working height of 28 meters – delivering unparalleled performance with the lowest emissions. The PT 22 TJ installed on an IVECO eDaily is a highly compact and versatile telescopic platform due to increased load capacities and enhanced operational performance. With its innovative jib design, it ensures greater flexibility and precision, making it an ideal solution for urban and industrial applications where space and accessibility are limited.

PT 25 TJ: Top-level performance

The PT 25 TJ is PALFINGER’s most powerful 3.5 ton aerial work platform with increased performance and higher stability. A key factor for more performance is the increased lateral reach, which ensures more versatility. The improved ergonomics reduce operator fatigue and increase concentration, resulting in greater productivity on the job. Revised and precise control, along with the further developed automatic stabilization system ensures greater convenience while maximizing operational efficiency. Whether for daily tasks or specialized projects, this model delivers reliability and performance where they’re needed most.

"When developing our Aerial Work Platforms, we listen closely to our customers and transform their feedback into tangible improvements. The PT 25 TJ exemplifies this approach with increased performance and enhanced ergonomics. With these innovations, we are not only delivering higher performance today but also ensuring that our products are ready for the challenges of tomorrow," adds Alexander Susanek.

PT 19 TJ on Ford eTransit: A future innovation in electric mobility

As one of the first manufacturers to mount an aerial work platform on a Ford chassis, PALFINGER is setting a new industry benchmark with the PT 19 TJ on the 4.25-ton Ford eTransit, showcased as a future innovation at bauma. This innovation combines full-electric mobility with the performance of a compact aerial work platform, offering increased payload for tools and equipment. This makes the PT 19 TJ a city centre professional: working quietly, sustainably and efficiently.

From 13 to 90 meters: Advanced technology and reliable performance
