Palfinger PK 13000 1997 Parts Catalog – Factory Spare Parts List

You have a Palfinger PK 13000 on your lot. Something broke – maybe a seal in the slew motor, maybe a control valve spool is sticking. You hit up three online parts vendors and get three different answers for the same hose assembly. That is the exact reason this Palfinger PK 13000 1997 Parts Catalog needs to be on your shop tablet, not buried in a drawer. 189 pages of factory-sourced exploded diagrams, correct part numbers, and the kind of detail that only comes from the people who built the crane. No reprints, no copy, no third-party interpretation. This is the document the dealer uses.

What’s Inside the Control Valve Section?

Look at the table of contents printed on page 2. You will see entries like Steuerventil-RC001 and Steuerventil-RSQ 240 RC. Those are the complete control valve assemblies, each with its own exploded view and part list. If you need a new pilot spool or a spring pack for the RC001 bank, the catalog gives you the exact item number – not a “compatible with” guess. That section runs through multiple sub-assemblies: details, housings, and even separate pages for the RC variants. Order the wrong part and your crane sits another week. This catalog prevents that.

Schwenkwerk (Slewing) – Which Bushings Fit?

The rotation group is covered under section 030. You will find the swing motor, gearbox, and bearing breakdowns. Each component has a callout number linked to a parts table. Need the seal kit for the motor? The catalog shows the kit number right next to the motor assembly. No flipping to a separate appendix. Palfinger PK 7501 PK 8501 Spare Parts Catalog 2005 covers a different series, but for the PK 13000, this is the document you trust.

Palfinger PK 13000 1997 Parts Catalog – Why OEM Matters

Aftermarket parts lists get rebuilt from old scanned copies. They miss revisions. Palfinger released this catalog in February 1997 and it applies to crane numbers starting from 9776599. The hydraulic crane industry changes hardware mid-run without changing the model name. That nuance is why factory documentation carries the exact valid-from serial number. Cross-reference your crane’s serial plate against the note on page 1. If it falls in range, every part number in this book is correct for your machine.

189 Pages of Exploded Diagrams

That page count covers everything from the base (Kransockel) to the stabilizer rams (STZS and STZY). Each assembly group – like the extension boxes R1, R1X, R3, R3X, R4X – has its own section with separate text pages for parts lists. The piping diagrams for remote control, central lubrication, and RC control are mapped out with part numbers on each tube run. You will see groups like Verrohrung-Fernsteuerung (pipes for remote control) with every fitting listed. That kind of detail saves you from having to pull a hose and measure it against a ruler.

Oil Tank Selection – 140L, 200L, or 300L

Your PK 13000 might have one of three tank sizes. The catalog sections 080, 090, and 100 each cover a complete oil tank assembly. The parts list includes the tank itself, the filter, return line, and level gauge. If you are swapping a tank or upgrading capacity, the part numbers are isolated by liter size. No guessing which sender fits which tank.

Use the Index to Find Any Part in Seconds

The index (Inhaltsverzeichnis) on page 2 is printed in German, English, and French. Every assembly group is listed with its page reference. You do not need to read German – the column headers are Seite/Page/Feuille. Find “Ausleger-R3” and flip to that page. The diagrams are universal. PALFINGER PK 19000 Parts Book 1996/09 follows the same layout, so if you work on multiple Palfinger models, you will recognize the system. For the PK 13000 though, stick with this 1997 edition.

Does This Catalog Cover the Fuel System?

No. This is a parts catalog for the hydraulic crane only – no diesel engine, no truck chassis. It covers the crane structure, hydraulics, and controls. If you need engine parts, see the truck chassis manual.

Can I Use This to Identify Parts for My PK 13000 If I Don’t Read German?

Yes. The catalog is trilingual – German, English, and French appear on every page. The table of contents column headers are in all three languages. The exploded diagrams use numerical callouts that are language-independent. The parts tables have columns for part number, description in all three languages, quantity, and notes. For example, the Abstützzylinder-STZS section (stabilizer cylinder) shows “Stabilizer ram-STZS” in English. You can identify the correct seal kit without speaking a word of German. Just match the number on the diagram to the part number in the table. PALFINGER PK 18002 EH Spare Parts Catalogue uses the same multilingual format. This is an OEM production document, not a translation by a third party.

Does this catalog cover the PK 13000 with serial numbers after 9776599?

No, valid from crane number 9776599. If your crane is older, contact Palfinger for the correct revision.
