This model is listed as an Iveco S-Way 6x2 + Palfinger PK 24.001 SLD 5.
The loader crane is rated with a maximum lifting moment
of 23.2 metre tonnes with a maximum lift of 8.5 tonnes.
The model is generic and therefore does not have license
plates.
Packaging
The box is
Palfinger branded and consists of a sleeve which wraps a tray with a clear lid.
There were no missing parts or defects on the review
model.
There is no information
about the real truck or Palfinger equipment.
Detail
The chassis is a 6x2 arrangement and it is modelled
in detail. The wheels are detailed with different tyres on the
steering and driven axles.
The cab has a non-see through rooflight and a light bar
and air horns on the roof. The cab is decorated with
distinctive Iveco branding. At the front the grille is
formed very well with realistic looking headlights.
The flatbed has a detailed deck with replica timbers and
the dropsides are model but non functional
At the back the lights look good and there are small
graphics. There is
also a towing hitch and underrun bar.
The Palfinger crane is very impressive.
The outriggers are two-stage, and the pistons are
smooth. The base section is detailed with many
tiny graphics and detailed control levers.
The boom sections appear to be thin-wall metal, and they
certainly have a stiff profile whilst being smooth in
operation. The final boom section has a small fixed
metal hook.
Small square spreader plates are also
included for the stabilisers.
Two tools are included. A set of lifting forks and a
lifting beam.
Features
The steering
has a limited range of movement. The rear tag axle
can be clipped up out of service.
The cab tilts to reveal a detailed engine but it does
not pose tilted.
The outriggers can be telescoped out, and the piston
lowered.
The crane rotates smoothly and the boom unfolds with the
rams being stiff in most extensions. The boom has many telescoping sections
which extend well and generally hold a pose.
The set of forks can be hung from the fixed hook, and
the suspension point can be adjusted to balance the
load.
The lifting beam can be hung from the hook or stored on
the truck but it would need some chains to be used for
lifting.
Quality
This model is well made with a high metal content.
The paintwork is very good with excellent graphics.
Price
The model is reasonable value.
Overall
This is another very nice promotional model for Palfinger.
It is very flexible in terms of how it can be displayed,
with nice detailing.
