Palfinger and Sennebogen unite

The first BR 400 truck mounted crane to be produced as a result of the agreement between Madal Palfinger in Brazil and Sennebogen from Germany was exhibited at the M&T Expo in Sao Paulo, Brazil, last month.

Under the agreement Madal Palfinger, the Brazilian subsidiary of Austria-based loader crane manufacturer Palfinger, will manufacture a range of Sennebogen truck cranes designed for mounting on commercial trucks.

The companies describe the arrangement as a technology transfer agreement and plan to deliver the first BR 400s in the second half of 2006.

Further models will also be made in Brazil at a later date.
