Palfinger PK15002 2000 Parts Catalog – OEM Parts Identification

Description

If you’re wrenching on a Palfinger PK15002 2000 Parts Catalog crane and need the right replacement part, you already know how bad it can go with aftermarket lists. Wrong hardness, wrong thread pitch, wrong casting number – then you’re waiting three more days with the crane down. This is the factory parts catalog. 231 pages of exploded-view schematics, OEM part numbers, and ordering instructions that match exactly what Palfinger built.

Let’s get one thing straight: I’ve seen techs order a stabilizer cylinder based on length alone. Then it shows up with different port threads. That’s a wasted billable hour and pissed-off customer. This catalog gives you the full diagram with every part called out by its engineering number. The index on page 1 breaks down every assembly from the base (Kransockel) to the overload protection (Überlastsicherung). You don’t guess – you flip to the section, find your part, write the number, and order.

Base and Bracket Assembly (Section 010)

Section 010 covers the crane base, console, and bracket. If you’re dealing with a cracked base plate or a worn swivel, you need the correct bearing and bolt sizes. The catalog shows the exact fastener specs – not a generic “M16x1.5” but the part number that matches your SK15002’s serial range. The drawings include all mounting hardware and shims. You’ll see separate sub-sections for the pipe routing to the central lubrication (s205sha-010.0300). Use that to trace your hydraulic lines before you start pulling the base apart.

Traversing Gear and Rotation (Section 020)

The traversing gear section (s205sha-020) gets into the swing drive and rotation components. Need a replacement pinion or a thrust bearing? The exploded view lists every gear, bearing, and seal. Pay attention to the page references – each part has a callout that leads to the correct item number. Aftermarket catalogs often combine two different gear ratios into one listing; this manual separates them by the build date.

231 Pages of OEM Part Breakdowns

That’s the page count. It sounds like a lot until you realize each section covers a specific sub-assembly. The table of contents runs three languages (English, German, French). The sections are numbered logically: 010 is base, 020 is traversing gear, 030 is piping and lube, 040 is control piping, 050 is extension boxes, 060 is stabilizer rams, 070 is oil tank and cooler, 080 is covers, 090 is control valves, 100 is overload protection and rotation limit. Every section includes sub-sections for the specific variants – R1, R2X, R3X, STZS, STZY. If your crane has a double extension, you know exactly which diagram to use.

Identify the Right Part for Your PK15002

Here’s where most people screw up: they measure a cylinder and order by stroke. This catalog forces you to look at the part number stamped on the cylinder. The manual includes a “vorwort” (preface) and “abkurzungen-symbole” (abbreviations and symbols) so you understand the coding. For example, the stabilizer ram section (s205sha-060) lists both STZS and STZY variants – they look identical but the port orientation differs. The drawing shows the orientation and the correct O-ring kit. Follow that drawing and you won’t have to drill new holes.

Stabilizer Rams: Section 060 Coverage

Section 060 covers the stabilizer cylinders for both STZS and STZY configurations. Each cylinder gets its own exploded view with a parts table. The model number PK15002 with the suffix determines which cylinder you have. If you’re rebuilding, the catalog lists the seal kit part numbers. Don’t rely on a generic same-size seal – the internal groove dimensions can change between years. This catalog is from 2000, so for a 2000 PK15002 the data is spot-on. For later years you may need a later catalog, but for this vintage it’s exactly what the factory used.

Is this manual in English?

Yes. The catalog includes English, German, and French. All part descriptions and headings are in English; the column headers use German abbreviations but the tables are trilingual.

How do I find the part number for a specific cylinder?

Start at the index on page 1. Find your cylinder type (e.g., STZY stabilizer ram). Turn to that section. Each drawing has item numbers that match a row in the parts table. The table lists the part number, description, quantity, and sometimes notes. Write down the full part number exactly as shown – including any hyphen or suffix. Double-check the drawing to confirm you have the right variant. This eliminates the common mistake of ordering a cylinder with the wrong port orientation.

Can I use this for a PK15000?

No. This catalog covers only the PK15002 model. PK15000 and PK15002 have different boom lengths and cylinder mounting points. Using the wrong catalog will give you incorrect part numbers.

What years does it cover?

Published in 2000. It applies to PK15002 cranes built around that year. For later production, Palfinger released updated catalogs. Always match your crane’s serial number to the manual’s publication date range.
