Palfinger equipment is built to do the heavy lifting, but it doesn’t stop there. With the right tools and accessories, our loader cranes, hookloaders, and even MARINE cranes can be configured to take on specialised jobs with greater efficiency, safety and precision. From construction to recycling, logistics to marine, Palfinger attachments turn proven equipment into tailored solutions that match the way New Zealand businesses work.
Loader Crane Tools and Mounting Accessories
Palfinger loader cranes are known for their strength and stability, and with the right tools, they become even more versatile. Some of the most popular options in New Zealand include:
- Grabs and buckets for bulk material handling in recycling, forestry and construction.
- Brick stackers and pallet forks for efficient delivery on building sites.
- Augers for drilling post holes in fencing and infrastructure work.
- Rotators and grapples for precise positioning and handling of heavy or awkward loads.
- Workman baskets for safe elevated access on maintenance or installation jobs.
Mounting accessories further optimises performance. Outrigger pads, stabiliser plates, additional lighting and safety equipment can all be added to customise your crane for maximum efficiency and compliance.

Hookloader Accessories
Palfinger hookloaders are built for heavy-duty performance and reliability. With the right accessories, they can be customised to improve safety, efficiency, and compliance for New Zealand operators.
Popular options include container locks, sheeting systems, auxiliary hydraulics, toolboxes, camera systems and lighting packages. Each of these enhances day-to-day operations, whether it’s securing containers, covering loads, or improving operator visibility.
Our team can configure hookloaders with a wide range of variations to meet your exact operational needs, ensuring every setup is optimised for New Zealand conditions and built to last.Marine Cranes
And it doesn’t stop there. Palfinger also offers a specialised MARINE crane range designed to perform in some of the toughest offshore environments. Built for reliability, safety and precision, these cranes support operators in aquaculture, offshore construction, coastguard, and other marine applications.
