Hook loader HT 18 (A)

The PALFINGER HT 18 (A) is a Telescopic TEC series hookloader for 18 to 26 t GVW trucks. Its sliding arm system accommodates a wide range of container lengths on a single vehicle, providing flexibility for rental, transport, and waste management fleets. The A version adds an articulated jib that reduces the loading angle for smooth, secure unloading in tight spaces and improved handling of both short and long containers. The equipment can be adapted to various regional standards — NF, DIN, SCAN, CHEM, ACTS. Maximum loading capacity: 18 t, unit length 4300–6325 mm, container length 3000–7400 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
