ST 18
The PALFINGER ST 18 is a robust skiploader designed for 21–26 tonne GVW trucks. With a maximum loading capacity of 18 t, frame length from 4,400 to 5,200 mm, and container compatibility from 3,000 to 5,000 mm, it is a powerful solution for urban and industrial job sites. Average equipment weight is 3,660 kg with an overall width of 2,530 mm.
The asymmetric telescopic arms with comfortable spacing ensure fast and accurate container pickup even when containers are poorly positioned. Both radio remote control with bi-speed functionality and a fully featured external control with dead-man function are available. The ST TEC range is fully adapted to electric truck requirements and the latest safety standards. Available options include silent mode, rapid motion, high tipping in full safety, overload indicator, and the CONNECTED system for remote monitoring and diagnostics.
Bolted Tipping Hook For Easy Service
- Large, independent bolted tipping hooks ensure reliable container pickup while simplifying repairs and minimizing downtime. The bolted design also makes it easy to replace or add tipping hooks during retrofitting
Connected
- All key information—device overviews, service status, technical documents, and more—is available digitally at any moment. CONNECTED ensures users can access everything they need to manage and understand their PALFINGER solutions from anywhere
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
