Palfinger PK 6500 2000 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Spare Parts Guide

If you’re working on a Palfinger PK 6500 hydraulic crane and you don’t have the factory parts catalog, you’re ordering off a wishlist. I’ve seen guys buy a seal kit three times before they got the right one because they used a generic cross‑reference. That costs billable hours and makes the shop look bad. This is the Parts Catalog from 2000 – 130 pages of exploded views and Palfinger part numbers. Not a reprint of someone’s notes. Not a third‑party summary. This is the document that leaves the factory floor with the crane.

Every section in this catalog maps to a physical subassembly on the crane. The table of contents breaks it down by crane location – from the base (s108sga-010.0100) to the control valves and oil tank. You get the same numbering system Palfinger uses when you call for a part. No translation loss. No “we think this is the right seal”.

What’s Inside This 130-Page Parts Catalog

Page numbering follows Palfinger’s own scheme: each section covers a specific function or assembly. For example, section 010 covers the crane base (Kransockel), section 020 the slewing system (Schwenkwerk), section 030 the piping for central lubrication (Verrohrung-Zentralschmierung). The catalog includes all the sub‑sections you’ll need when rebuilding a PK 6500: extension boxes R1, R2, R3X, stabilizer rams STZS and STZY, the oil tank, control valves for stabilizers and for the radio remote control (RC001 and RSQ 240 RC). Each exploded drawing has a parts list with the exact Palfinger part number. You won’t find any aftermarket part numbers here – only OEM references.

s108sga-010.0100 to s108sga-100.0100: 7 Major Crane Sections

The catalog groups components into 7 main sections: base, slewing, piping (three different pipe sub‑systems), extension booms, stabilizers, oil tank, and control valves. Within each section you get the full breakdown. For the stabilizers alone there are separate sections for the cylinder (STZS and STZY) and for the piping that supports them. That level of detail matters when you’re trying to identify which hose assembly or fitting goes where. If you’ve ever stared at a jumble of lines under a crane and wondered which one is the return, this catalog shows you the routing as Palfinger intended it.

Does This Manual Cover Your PK 6500?

This Palfinger PK 6500 2000 Parts Catalog is valid from crane number 0622040 onward. If your crane’s serial number falls before that, you’ll need the earlier edition. The document is trilingual: German, English, French. That means the part numbers and index are consistent across languages – no risk of mis‑ordering because you read the wrong column. The catalog also includes a dedicated o-ring table (o-ringtabelle) near the end, which lists the metric sizes and part numbers for every seal used in the hydraulic system. That table alone can save you from buying a whole seal kit when all you need is one $2 o-ring.

Why You Need OEM Parts Data for the PK 6500

Aftermarket parts lists for hydraulic cranes are notorious for getting the thread pitch wrong or omitting the backup ring. I’ve had a stabilizer cylinder leak because a generic catalog listed the wrong o-ring durometer. This Palfinger catalog tells you the exact part number – not a “suggested replacement”. The PDF is a direct scan of the factory original, so the drawings are clear, the callout numbers are readable, and the dimensions are in millimeters. If you’re ordering parts for a PK 6500, you need the same data the dealer uses. That’s what this is.

3 Reasons to Skip Aftermarket Parts Lists

First, aftermarket lists often use superseded numbers that no longer cross back to the original Palfinger part. Second, they don’t include the o-ring table or the specific piping diagrams for the RC control option. Third, they don’t tell you which version of the crane your parts fit – the PK 6500 had multiple sub‑variants (e.g., with or without radio remote, with different extension lengths). Only the OEM catalog gives you the full picture.

O-Ring Table and Hydraulic Specs

Near the back of the catalog you’ll find the o-ring table (o-ringtabelle). It lists every o-ring used in the crane, by inner diameter and cross‑section, plus the Palfinger part number. This is the sort of detail that makes a rebuild go smoothly – you can order exactly what you need instead of buying an assortment pack and hoping. The catalog also covers the control valve assemblies: the RSQ 240 RC for radio remote operation and the RC001. If your crane has a Funkfernsteuerung (radio remote control), the relevant piping and valve sections are marked clearly.

Does this catalog include torque specs for the PK 6500?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It does not list torque values or repair procedures. For assembly instructions, you need the separate Palfinger workshop manual for the PK 6500. But for part numbers and exploded views, this is your source.

Can I use this catalog for a PK 6500 built after 2005?

This edition was published in 2000 and is valid from crane number 0622040. Later cranes may have updated components. Palfinger revised the PK 6500 line; check your crane’s serial number before ordering parts based on this catalog.

How are the pages organized?

The document follows Palfinger’s internal numbering (e.g., s108sga-010.0100). Each section corresponds to a physical assembly. The table of contents at the front lists every section by number and name in three languages.

Does it cover the radio remote control system?

Yes. Sections 031, 040, 070, and 080 cover the radio remote control (RC) variants, including the RC001 and RSQ 240 RC control valves and the associated piping. The catalog also lists parts for the extension booms R1, R2, and R3X.

If you’re tearing into a Palfinger PK 6500 and you need the right part numbers the first time, this is the document you should have open on the bench. Stop ordering three seal kits and hoping one fits. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and get the OEM data that matches your crane.
