ISUZU GIGA 20 Ton PALFINGER Knuckle Boom Crane
Built on the robust ISUZU GIGA 8×4 chassis (Model VC61 6X), this integrated crane truck combines Japanese engineering precision with specialized lifting capabilities. Designed for extreme logistics, construction, and industrial applications, its EURO 6-compliant ISUZU 6WG1-TCG62 engine delivers 382 kW (520 HP) and a colossal 2,250 N.m torque output at 900–1,300 rpm. The advanced ZF 8HP70L automatic transmission (8 forward gears, 1 reverse) ensures seamless power delivery across demanding terrains.
The sleeper cab features a 2,540mm-wide operator environment with 4-point hydraulic suspension, multi-functional LCD instrumentation, and ergonomic air-suspension seats. Dual 12V/150Ah batteries support extended operations, while ABS and dual-circuit air brakes guarantee safety under a gross vehicle weight of 44,000 kg. The chassis employs a cold-riveted U-profile ladder frame with reinforced 4/4/5 leaf spring suspension, engineered to stabilize the crane’s 7,514 kg superstructure while maximizing the 24,300 kg payload capacity.

KEY FEATURES: PRECISION LIFTING WITH PALFINGER INNOVATION
▶ Advanced Crane Performance
The PALFINGER Knuckle Boom Crane dominates with a 20.5-ton lifting capacity and an industry-leading 688 kNm lifting moment. Its 8-section boom achieves a 20.4-meter hydraulic outreach with endless 360° slewing flexibility, supported by a hydraulic system operating at 350 bar pressure. A 3.5-ton winch and high-speed extension capabilities enable rapid load positioning, while hose equipment for attachments allows seamless integration of augers, grabs, or platforms.
▶ Operator-Centric Controls
Featuring ergonomic radio remote control, operators manage lifts from optimal vantage points with millimeter precision. The system integrates a load-holding valve and hydraulic overload safety device to prevent critical failures. Top-seat functionality enables boom operation directly from the ISUZU crane truck base, enhancing flexibility in confined spaces.
▶ Durability & Safety Engineering
Critical structural components are protected by high-density anti-corrosion paint, extending service life in harsh environments. The recirculating ball steering system offers adjustable feedback for precise maneuvering under load, while the engine exhaust brake provides auxiliary descent control. Dual-circuit service brakes and spring-type parking brakes ensure failsafe stability.
