The PALFINGER ST 14 skiploader delivers fast, precise performance tailored for urban environments. Its compact, agile design makes manoeuvring in tight streets easy, while reliable operation keeps city workflows running smoothly. The asymmetric telescopic arms provide comfortable spacing between the arms, making container handling easier and more efficient even when containers are not perfectly aligned. An ideal weight-to-capacity ratio maximises chassis efficiency, and a wide range of user-friendly options enhances the operator experience in every lift.
Asymmetric telescopic arms
The ST 14's asymmetric telescopic arms provide comfortable spacing for gripping and handling containers. This improves work speed and reduces problems caused by misaligned containers — especially useful at tight urban sites where containers can't always be placed optimally.
Ideal weight-to-capacity ratio
The ST 14 is designed to maximise chassis efficiency on 18–21 t trucks. An optimised structure preserves payload while delivering a 14-tonne lifting capacity — less dead weight and more work per trip.
User-friendly options
Radio control, ergonomic controls, Bi-speed functionality and the optional Rapid Motion make daily operation smooth and efficient. The ST TEC variant is fully adapted to the requirements of electric trucks.
