The Perfect Weld
Passion, ambition and lots of training - that's what drove Daniel Schinagl on his way to the WorldSkills in Cleveland (USA), the professional world championships in welding. With great support, Daniel spent months preparing for the competition and got to do what really excites him: creating the perfect weld.

HPSC Expert
"Having started as an apprentice at Kuhn in 1999, I am now lucky to be always operating the very latest cranes and systems. I am responsible for the HPSC setting as well as the training for the customers. PALFINGER has been with me for a very long time and I also have a lot of private contacts that can be traced back to PALFINGER products." #reachanything
Samuel Sternbauer, Kuhn Ladetechnik
Easy & convenient Partner
“Being a Philadelphia business, PALFINGER in Trenton was an easy and convenient partner for installations, parts and service as needed. When we transitioned from cable hoists in 2020, PALFINGER was the obvious choice for us based on recommendations of current users of the T series hook hoists, our chassis provider, as well as our container fabricator.”

Making work easier
"The robust design of the PALFINGER EPSILON cranes fascinates me and makes my daily work so much easier. I am also thrilled by the ease of operation. I spend my entire day working in the forest and in nature, which is very peaceful to me. The combination of an offroad unit and the right PALFINGER EPSILON crane makes work really fun - especially on steep slopes! "#reachanything

Successful collaboration
"Outreach Offshore Ltd can look back at over 40 years of successful collaboration as a PALFINGER dealer. We have a very diverse history in product development in multiple equipment markets, in recent years we have been focusing on the marine, renewable and offshore industry. Today the renewable energy sector is an important priority to focus on, as the demand has changed for power generation that is cleaner and more environmentally friendly. Therefore the PALFINGER products have a big future in support of this change in infrastructure. Our aim is to work closer to support our clients together." #reachanything
Stuart Finlayson
Outreach Offshore Ltd., General Manager
The key to success
"With the fly-jibs of our two PALFINGER PK 165.002 TEC 7 cranes, we have a longer outreach and a higher load capacity. Without them, we would not have managed because we have loaded about 25 metric tons at an average height of 36 meters. For demanding circumstances, flexibility is the key. "#reachanything

Success of our partners
"Success drives me. I mean firstly, I don't care if it's a small job or a big job, but every deal that we close, I'm very happy for it. So, I run after a small deal like a big one, because for me, success is something I really admire. And when I see at the end, the customer is happy with the product, it is something that gives me satisfaction."#reachanything
