PALFINGER has introduced the HC 21, an upgraded addition to its SYNCHRON hookloader line, promising greater performance, smoother operation and enhanced operator comfort. Building on the well-established SYNCHRON system—known for its unique kinematics, high visibility and intuitive single-movement control—the HC 21 aims to boost productivity while simplifying daily handling tasks.

Designed for both seasoned and inexperienced operators, the HC 21 features a low loading angle for safer container handling, an articulated arm for transferring containers of varying lengths, and a suite of new options including automatic cycles, memory positions, system monitoring and advanced rapid motion. These updates enable faster, more precise maneuvers and reduce wear through improved maintenance tools such as central greasing, self-diagnostics and connected equipment.

Equipped with PALFINGER’s V Drive control interface and developed with the latest innovations from the TEC line, the HC 21 delivers increased versatility, operational flexibility and long-term durability. The new model positions PALFINGER’s SYNCHRON range to meet rising performance demands while lowering operational costs and elevating overall ease of use.
