Palfinger expands PFM marine crane series with launch of PFM 1200

Austrian company Palfinger has added the PFM 1200 to its marine crane range to meet rising demand from service-vessel and workboat operators, particularly in the aquaculture sector.

The company stated that the first unit will be delivered in September to Bergen Hydraulic for use on Frøy Akvaressurs’s service vessel “Frøy Fighter”.

The development of the PFM 1200 comes amid a trend towards larger vessels, which require cranes with greater outreach and lifting capacity, while maintaining a lower overall weight and compatibility with existing mounting points.
