Hook loader HP 20 A (R)

The PALFINGER HP 20 A (R) is a Power TEC series hookloader for 24 to 28 t GVW trucks. Designed for the harshest work environments, it maintains full lifting capacity at any frame height and reliably handles containers stuck in ditches or difficult terrain. Three articulation points keep the loading angle low to minimize spillage risk and enable smooth handling of both short and long containers. The R version adds rear lifting capability — essential for agricultural applications and unloading onto high trailers or loading docks. Maximum loading capacity: 20 t, unit length 4700–6450 mm, container length 3750–7600 mm.

Soft Stop

Soft stop ensures the container is smoothly set onto the truck deck after loading or tipping, preventing hard impacts and helping reduce noise exposure for operators and the surrounding area

Truck CAN Communication

A CANBUS connection between the truck and the hookloader streamlines wiring to just two wires, creating a safer and more efficient setup. Body builders benefit from reduced installation effort, fewer relays and junctions, and quicker configuration through PALDIAG. As a modern communication platform, it is ready to support future system upgrades and features
