The PB 30 T provides dependable performance with simplified operation. Designed for speed, it delivers a 35-foot working height, 350-pound platform capacity, and 390-degree non-continuous rotation. It also features a low bucket entry point at just 1 foot 4 inches, making access faster, safer, and more comfortable for operators. Additional features include speed-adjustable upper controls with start/stop functionality, and rapid boom movements for quick positioning.
Built with maximum serviceability and reduced maintenance downtime in mind, the PB 41 AT and PB 30 T bucket trucks offer long-term reliability and a cost-effective investment for utility fleets.
“With the PB 41 AT and PB 30 T, we’re broadening our bucket truck offerings to meet a broader range of customer needs, from insulated and non-insulated heavy-lift performance to straightforward, value-driven solutions,” added Brian Heffron, PALFINGER North America vice president sales, Aerial Work, Platforms and Service Cranes. “It’s about giving customers the right equipment for the job, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
