Whether in urban areas or on rough terrain, PALFINGER truck-mounted forklifts are safe, powerful and provide maximum comfort. At IAA Transportation, the world market leader is presenting its latest models - the new FLS range. The innovative truck-mounted forklifts with patented swivel seat celebrate their debut at the leading trade fair in Hanover.

The new FLS range positions PALFINGER as a one-stop shop for truck-mounted forklifts. That is because PALFINGER is now the only provider that offers truck-mounted forklifts in all categories - side-seat, or center-seat, mounted at the rear of the truck or radio-controlled using a convenient remote control unit and mounted in a box between the axles of the truck. From transporting beverages to accessing rough terrain - these truck-mounted forklifts can be used for a wide range of applications. The new FLS range gives customers the advantage of the widest choice of truck-mounted forklift models on the market. The new models see PALFINGER focus on the highest standards of comfort, safety and operating time.

FLS 25: A feel-good package for operators

The FLS 25 complements the PALFINGER truck-mounted forklifts with a side-seat model featuring a patented swivel seat. Together with the existing PALFINGER truck-mounted forklifts with a center seat, the model with the side seat creates a new level of operator comfort with enhanced safety. The 25-degree rotation outwards significantly improves getting in and out of the seat. The ergonomically designed cabin with a seat that tilts inwards by five degrees while in action, reduces fatigue by increasing operator comfort.

An intelligent side guard is integrated into the spacious cabin to provide additional protection and increase driver comfort during operation. The intuitively arranged controls and the new generation of masts provide the best view of the load and the work area, which increases efficiency during load handling. Easy access to all maintenance points simplifies daily inspection and maintenance. This extends both the operating time and the service life of the products.

The FLS 25 is also available as a 4-way version. Even narrow paths are easy to negotiate as a result.

Reduced emissions, highest performance

With the FLS 25 eDRIVE featuring an all-electric driveline and a maximum system output of up to 26.3 kW, the new FL range from PALFINGER offers an emission-free alternative. It ensures low disturbance operation in noise-sensitive urban environments and when working at night and early in the morning.

In addition to the new FLS models, PALFINGER has a number of other models of truck-mounted forklifts on display at IAA 2024: The FLC 253 4W, equipped with a high-torque diesel engine, delivers an impressive performance on particularly rough terrain. The box-mounted BM 214 model also has excellent off-road capabilities and is ready for action in just 30 seconds. Thanks to the integrated radio remote control, operators have an optimal overview of the situation in every loading scenario.

“Under the tagline 'Shift your Perspective', we have redesigned and further developed our range of truck-mounted forklifts,” says Andreas Klauser, CEO of PALFINGER. “Working closely together with our customers and partners is significant for this. As the leading trade fair for commercial vehicles, IAA Transportation offers us the ideal platform to present the new FLS series to an interested audience and to display our many other new solutions from a wide selection of product lines,” explains Andreas Klauser, CEO of PALFINGER.
