Features:

Featuring new light-weight aluminum doors, the PAL Pro 39 offers you a more usable payload and reduced corrosion. Choose from various standard options to meet your service truck needs, including a headache rack, accessory mounting brackets, tail shelf and bumper options, and more.

PAL Pro 39 is manufactured using 12-gauge A-60 galvanneal steel and features a full-length torsion box understructure interlaced with tubular cross members. Combined with integrated outrigger housings, PAL Pro 39 effectively manages crane forces while preventing flexing and cracking.

PAL Pro 39 features a 39,000 ft. lbs. crane reinforcement designed to accommodate PALFINGER PSC 3216, 4016, 4025, 5025, and 6025 service cranes.

PAL Pro 39 is designed to be the lightest steel crane body in the industry without sacrificing durability. The body can be mounted on a dual wheel chassis with a GVWR as low as 14,001 lbs., providing excellent flexibility for a wide range of applications. Threaded weldment options available from the factory make installing top mounted accessories easy. Boom rest, welder, compressor, EnPak, Air-n-Arc and AirPak mounts eliminate the need to drill holes in the body.

PAL Pro 39 features light-weight aluminum double panel doors that provide rigid performance with internal C-channel stiffeners adhered with structural adhesive. Interior compartments feature aluminum hinges and divider trays that are light-weight and corrosion resistant.

Interior compartments on the PAL Pro 39 are coated with Zolatone to resist damage commonly caused by tools, chains, and parts. Zolatone provides an additional layer of rust protection and as an added bonus, the coating is white in color and helps to brighten up the interior.

When the perfect blending of weight, storage space, strength and durability are what you are looking for then the PAL Pro Series of Crane Bodies are what you need. The PAL Pro 43 will handle any crane rated for a load moment of 43,000 ft/lbs., with a max loading moment of 50,000 ft/lbs. Available in many standard 9' and 11' configurations, it is designed with a hybrid torsion box and ladder frame understructure utilitizing the hightest quality 10ga A60 galvanenneal and structural steel cross members for superior strength.

The frame, bumper, outrigger tubes and crane box are all integrated to deliver the force of the crane load to the outriggers, leaving the body untouched by the load forces. The body is made from 12ga A60 galvanneal, with treadplate topes and load space. Eight 6,000 lb. tie downs in the floor of the body, a 5/16" top plate on the bumper, 2" hitch receiver and 3 point latching doors are all standard.

The doors are a two piece top hat design held together with automotive adhesive to eliminate welds, and utilize 316 marine grade stanless steel hinges. All this, plus a 12 step e-coat dip process for the primer and 6 year warranty on the body and hardware -- and you have the new standard in superior crane bodies.
