Palfinger PBS 500, PBS 750, PBS 1000, PBS 1500, PBS 2000 2005 Parts Catalog

If you’re chasing a part number for a Palfinger PBS 500, PBS 750, PBS 1000, PBS 1500, PBS 2000 2005 Parts Catalog and you’re not using the factory drawing, you’re burning billable hours. I’ve seen guys order a cylinder seal kit based on a phone snapshot and end up with a leak that drops a half-ton platform. This is the original 68-page spare parts list from Palfinger – not some scanned aftermarket mess. You get exploded views of every section: liftgate, platform, power pack, and all the hydraulics and electrics. Each figure has a clear part number. Use it to pull the exact component your truck needs.

Hubwerk (Liftgate) Exploded Views

The manual starts with the liftgate assembly – that’s the “Hubwerk” section. For the PBS 500 and PBS 750, you get separate figures from the larger models. The PBS 1000, 1500, and 2000 each have their own liftgate breakdowns. If you’re swapping a linkage pin or a pivot bracket, you’ll find the part number and quantity listed right next to the diagram. No guessing which bushing fits which model – the drawing shows the differences. The liftgate section alone covers about a third of the catalog.

Platform Sections for PBS 500 to 2000

Platform (Plattform) views are split by model. PBS 1000 and 1500 share one figure, PBS 500/750 another, and PBS 2000 gets its own. That tells you the platform bed components are not interchangeable between the small and large liftgates. The platform section includes steel parts, hinge brackets, and rubber bumpers. Need a new platform support? Look at figures 100.0100 through 100.0400 – those are the PBS 1500 and 2000 specific layouts. Every part number ends with a five-digit code that matches the factory numbering system.

Power Pack Assembly (Aggregat)

The power pack section (Aggregat) shows the hydraulic pump motor unit. This is where you’ll find the motor, valve block, and all related hoses. Palfinger uses a flange coupling system – if you’re ordering hoses, the part number ends with “JI” for those fittings. Page 4 of the catalog explains that detail in the ordering instructions. Don’t skip that page. The manual also lists the pump and motor separately, so you can order just the unit that failed without replacing the whole assembly.

Ordering Spares: What You Need From the Manual

To get the right part, you need the platform type, chassis number, and production year – stamped on the identification plate. The manual states this clearly on page 4 in three languages. Write down the part number from the figure, then cross-check it against the table. If you order without the chassis number, you’ll risk getting a revision that doesn’t fit. I’ve seen that happen on a PBS 1500 where the lift arm changed after chassis number 100018860. The catalog notes that cutoff – pay attention to it.

68 Pages of Factory Data – No Aftermarket Shortcuts

This is a 2005 Palfinger factory catalog, drawn up when the current engineering level was current. It’s not a reprint from a third-party site that blended two model years. The Vorwort (preface) says the same thing: if you maintain the equipment per instructions, you’ll rarely need this catalog. But when you do, you need the correct part. Using this PDF is insurance against a wasted trip to the supply house. The Palfinger PK 7501, PK 8501 2005 Parts Catalog | OEM Manual covers a different line but follows the same standard. For larger knuckleboom cranes, check Palfinger PK19000 1996 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual or Palfinger PK 18002 EH 2009 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Spare Parts. All are genuine factory documents.

Does This Manual Cover the PBS 500?

Yes. The cover title lists PBS 500 through PBS 2000. Inside, you’ll see dedicated figures for Hubwerk PBS 500,750. The platform section also has a figure for PBS 500,750. So all five models are covered in detail.

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog – it shows exploded views and part numbers. For torque values, you need the corresponding service manual. The parts catalog tells you what to order, not how to install it.

Can I use this for my PBS 2000 with a different chassis number?

Yes, the catalog covers PBS 2000. It includes Hubwerk PBS 2000 and Plattform PBS 2000 figures. The manual notes the valid-from number (100018860) so you can determine if your liftgate falls within the documented revision range.

How do I order parts using this manual?

Start by locating the section for your model (e.g., PBS 1500). Find the figure that shows the component you need – each part is numbered. Write down the part number and quantity. Then call your dealer and give them that number plus your chassis number and production year. The manual includes an ordering instruction page that explains this. If you don’t provide the chassis number, they may send the wrong revision.

What if I need a hose for a PBS 1000?

Look in the “Hubwerk PBS 1000” figure. Hoses for the flange-coupling system (size 37) have part numbers ending with “JI”. Verify the exact hose length from the diagram – some are shown with a length callout. Order the part number as listed; do not substitute based on length alone because the fittings differ.

This is a tool, not a coffee-table book. You use it when a liftgate is down and the customer is waiting. Don’t waste time on aftermarket cross-references. Access the Factory Manual and get the right part the first time.
