One of the defining characteristics of the Palfinger P280B is its optimised weight in comparison to other machines within its class. With a total weight of approximately 7,500kg (depending on specification and chassis), it remains lighter than many comparable 28m platforms, making it particularly well suited to operations on uneven ground or weight-sensitive surfaces. The spacious, durable basket offers a safe working load of up to 250kg, comfortably accommodating operators along with the necessary tools and equiptment.  

 

The performance of the P280B is further enhanced by its 500-degree slewing capability, delivering excellent manoeuvrability on site. This extensive rotation allows for accurate and efficient platform positioning, reducing setup time and maximising productivity. It is an ideal solution for projects spanning multiple locations or short-term hire requirements where quick setup and efficient demobilisation are essential.  

 

Our Palfinger P280B is also available to hire with a certified operator which ensures that even if you do not hold the relevant licence to operate powered access machinery, you can still benefit from the platform's capabilities - without compromising on safety, compliance or operational efficiency. 

 

Suitable for a broad range of industries, the P280B supports everything from construction and facilities maintenance to utilities work and infrastructure projects. It is equally valuable to film and media production for positioning camera's and lighting at precise heights and angles, and in arboriculture for safe access to tall tree's. Whatever the sector, the Palfinger P280B delivers dependable high-level access with precision, stability and safety at its core.
