Palfinger PK 15500 2001 Parts Catalog

If you’re ordering parts for a Palfinger PK 15500 without the factory parts catalog, you’re asking for trouble. I’ve watched guys bolt on the wrong stabilizer cylinder because they used an aftermarket cross-reference. That’s a 500‑pound headache you don’t want. This 2001 factory Parts Catalog runs 189 pages and gives you the exact exploded views and part numbers for every piece of that crane. The table of contents on page 1 lists sections from 010.0100 (Kransockel/Base) through 090.0300 (Abstützungsüberwachung/Support control). Every part number is keyed to the original Palfinger design.

Palfinger PK 15500 2001 Parts Catalog: Why You Need the Original

Aftermarket catalogs renumber parts and leave out the little brackets, seals, and O-rings that stop leaks. This one doesn’t. It’s a direct scan of the factory binder from 2001. The section numbering (like s207sga-010.0100) matches the Palfinger system. If your crane has a serial number, you can trace the exact revision. No guesswork. Page 1 shows the full hierarchy: base, console, traversing gear, piping, cylinders, oil tank, coolers, control valves, and overlow protection. That’s the entire crane broken down into 27 main groups under the 010 prefix alone.

Base and Console Assembly Sections

Sections 010.0100 through 010.2700 cover the crane base (Kransockel), console (Konsole), and bracket. Each exploded diagram includes the weldment, pivot pins, and retaining hardware. Section 020.0100 starts the traversing gear (Schwenkwerk) – you get the gearbox, bearings, and the hydraulic motor mount. If you need the charge pressure for the rotation drive, check the corresponding service manual; this catalog gives you the part numbers for the drive flange and seal kit. The O‑ring table (O‑ringtabelle) later in the PDF cross‑references every seal by size and durometer. Don’t lose that.

What the Traversing Gear Section Shows

Section 020.0100‑020.0700 lays out the traversing gear assembly. You’ll see the ring gear, pinion, and the hydraulic motor mounting plate. Part numbers for the brake and clutch components are listed with exploded views. The page also calls out the bolts and washers – not torque specs, but the fastener grade and length. For torque values, you’ll need the service manual, but at least you’ll order the right bolts. The Schwenkwerk section connects directly to the piping sections (030.0100‑031.0100) that show the hoses and fittings for the rotary union.

3 Reasons to Trust the OEM Parts Catalog

First, the part numbers are Palfinger’s own – they haven’t been re‑keyed by a third‑party. Second, the drawings show the exact orientation of brackets and hose routing, so you won’t install a cylinder upside down. Third, the document includes the E‑kat database reference (db‑ekat‑s207sga), which means you can verify the parts against Palfinger’s electronic catalog if you have access. That’s a layer of verification you don’t get from a photocopied aftermarket sheet. Reference the Automotive Industry Overview for context on how OEM documentation standardizes global fleets.

Hydraulic Piping and Lubrication Systems

Sections 030.0100 through 030.0600 cover the piping for the central lubrication (Verrohrung‑Zentralschmierung) and the control lines for the F, H, and RC circuits. Each subsection – 030.0100, 030.0200, etc. – isolates a single pipe run. The hose lengths and fitting types are spelled out. Section 070.0100‑070.1400 lists the stabilizer ram assemblies (Abstützzylinder STZS and STZY), including the base‐mount pins and the hardened wear pads. If you’re replacing a stabilizer leg, look at section 080.0100 for the oil cooler and 090.0100 for the control valve bank. That’s the whole hydraulic system in one place.

For related manuals, see Palfinger PK 15500 2001 Parts Catalog – Section: Paltronic if you need the electrical control schematics. The Palfinger PK 7501, PK 8501 2005 Parts Catalog | OEM Manual covers smaller models, and the Palfinger PK19000 1996 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual handles the heavy‐duty class. Understanding the crane’s role in the Automotive Industry Overview helps when ordering parts for mixed fleets.

FAQ

Is the manual in English?

Yes. The index and part descriptions are in German, English, and French. All part numbers are numeric and language‑independent.

Can I use this to find replacement hydraulic pipes for the R3X extension?

The R3X extension box and cylinder are covered in sections 060.0100 (Ausleger‑R3X) and 060.0200 (Ausfahrzylinder‑R3X). The pipe routing for that section is in the Verrohrung‑R3X subsection (060.0300‑060.0500). Each pipe drawing lists the male/female O‑ring ends and the hose length in millimeters. Cross‑reference the O‑ring table at the back of the PDF for the correct seal compound. If you need the part number for the cylinder seal kit, that’s also in 060.0200. The manual doesn’t include hydraulic pressure specs, but the part numbers are correct for the 2001‑era PK 15500. If your crane has been updated, check the serial number against Palfinger’s supersession notes – not included here, but you can request them from a dealer.
