Palfinger PK 4501 2006 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual

If you are chasing a part number for a Palfinger PK 4501 crane and the aftermarket cross-reference is giving you garbage, you need the real thing. I have been turning wrenches for 28 years, and I will tell you straight: Palfinger PK 4501 2006 Parts Catalog is the only source I trust when ordering replacements for these Austrian cranes. This is not a reprint or a copy – it is the factory file from 2006, 133 pages of exploded diagrams and OEM part numbers. You do not guess about which seal kit fits the extension cylinder; you look it up in the catalog and order it right the first time.

Base, Slewing System, and Central Lubrication – Section 010

Page 010 kicks off with the crane base (Kransockel), slewing system (Schwenkwerk), and the piping for central lubrication (Verrohrung-Zentralschmierung). If you need the 50-liter oil tank assembly, that is listed under 010.1800. Every bolt, hose, and fitting has a reference number. You get the same exploded view that Palfinger uses in the factory. I have dealt with cranes where someone cobbled together parts from a different model – this catalog stops that nonsense cold.

Control Valve Groups: Stabilizer, F, and RC Variants

Section 020 covers the control valves. There are four subsections: stabilizer control valve (020.0100), F control valve (020.0200), RC valve (020.0300), and RC001 variant (020.0400). Each one has its own exploded view and part number list. If your machine has a stuck spool and you need the repair kit, you identify the valve type from the diagram, then order the correct OEM kit. Aftermarket catalogs lump them together – this manual separates them.

Overload Protection and PALTRONIC System (Sections 030 & 031)

Section 030 breaks down the overload protection options: OSK-F, OM-F, OSK-RC, plus the rotation limiter (SHB) and transport position monitoring. Section 031 is the PALTRONIC electrical parts – sensors, control units, wiring harness components. If your PALTRONIC board is fried and you need the exact replacement module, the part number is in there. Page 031.0100 lists the electrical pieces with their OEM references. You do not need to call Palfinger and wait on hold.

Crane Column and Extension Boxes: R1, R2, R3X

Section 040 covers the crane column. The extension boxes R1 (010.0600), R2 (010.0700), and R3X (010.0900) each have their own subsections with pipe routing diagrams and cylinder assemblies. The stabilizer cylinders (STZS and STZY) are also in section 010. If you are replacing a worn-out stabilizer ram, the part number for the complete cylinder is under 010.1200 or 010.1500. No guesswork.

Source Authenticity: OEM vs. Aftermarket

I have seen third-party catalogs that transpose digits and leave out critical o-ring size references. This manual includes an o-ring table (o-ringtabelle) at the end – something aftermarket houses skip. The original German, English, and French text is preserved. When you order a part from this catalog, you get the factory number that Palfinger recognizes. That is the difference between a parts order that arrives correct and a supply-room headache.

What This Manual Does Not Cover

This is a parts catalog, not a service repair manual. It will not tell you how to rebuild the cylinder, but it will give you the correct part number for the cylinder seal kit. If you need the Automotive Industry Overview as context? Not relevant. Stick to the catalog. For wiring diagrams or torque specs, you need the corresponding service manual. The Automotive Industry Overview might give you background, but for actual crane repair, use the right book.

Does this manual cover both PK 4501 and PK 5001 models?

Yes, the cover states PK 4501 and PK 5001. The parts lists apply to both.

Can I find wiring diagrams for the PALTRONIC system in this catalog?

The PALTRONIC section (031) lists electrical components like sensors, control units, and their part numbers with exploded views. However, this is a parts catalog, not a service manual – it does not include wiring schematics or diagnostic procedures. If you need to order a replacement PALTRONIC board or pressure switch, you will get the exact OEM part number here. That alone saves hours of cross-referencing aftermarket lists that often mismatch. For wiring diagrams, you need the Palfinger service repair manual for the PK 4501.
