Palfinger Platforms Italy has launched the P130A, the first platform in a new pickup series in the manufacturer’s Low Smart Class.

With a maximum working height of 13 m, a maximum outreach of 6.3 m and a gross weight of 3200 kg, Palfinger Platforms Italy is now offering its Smart Class on pickups.

The platform is installed on a Ford Ranger 2.2 TDI, but will in future be available for installation on other models as well. The P130A is the first platform in the series, which will incorporate three further models by the end of the year.

As with all platforms in the Smart Class, they boast an ergonomic and compact design. Thanks to the extremely low centre of gravity, the P130A is designed for great stability on and off road, as well as precise steering.
