Manoeuvrable, flexible, compact and incredibly powerful – the P 370 KS access platform is causing a sensation in the industry with these properties. The new top model in Palfinger’s Premium Class was presented for the first time at the Platformers’ Days, in September.

With a maximum basket load of 500 kilograms, the P 370 KS reaches a working height of up to 37 metres and a lateral reach of up to 31.5 metres. However, it still remains compact and manoeuvrable with a vehicle length of just 8.35 metres and the patented counter slewing device.

The P 370 KS thus combines the best of two worlds. It integrates the impressive flexibility of the WT series and the compact design and well-known counter slewing system of the KS series. This makes it a true top model of Palfinger’s Premium Class. Thanks to the modern driver information and assistance systems, the P 370 KS is also easy to operate. The automated positioning system with integrated support levelling ensures efficiency and safety while working.

The highlights of the P 370 KS include not only its remarkable working height of 37 metres, but also the compact dimensions that are achieved thanks to the patented counter slewing system. This allows the access platform to remain within the vehicle’s mirror width while being turned, thereby minimizing possible obstructions of traffic while working and ensuring optimum performance even when space is limited.

The extensive standard equipment, the wide range of additional equipment and the option to assemble the system on a four-wheel or standard chassis from various manufacturers and weight classes make the new P 370 KS access platform an all-rounder for various areas of application.
