Palfinger ETC 40 IH

The Palfinger ETC 40 IH is an insulated articulating and telescopic bucket truck designed for operators who require stable, precise, and safe access to elevated work areas. Its rigid boom design eliminates the “fishing pole effect,” providing rock-solid stability at height and confidence for crews performing utility, telecom, lighting, and signage tasks.

With a working height of 44’ 9” (13.64 m) and side reach of 8.94 m, the ETC 40 IH allows operators to access challenging areas while supporting a bucket capacity of 400 lb (181 kg). Full-pressure proportional hydraulic controls, continuous rotation, and multifunction joystick controls deliver smooth, intuitive operation for precise positioning, even in cold or demanding environments.

The insulated boom meets ANSI A92.2 Category C standards (up to 46 kV), ensuring safe operation near energized lines. Hydraulic platform leveling, tool circuits, and a hydraulic bucket rotator (180°) further enhance safety and operational efficiency. Optional configurations allow customization for two-speed throttle, additional tool circuits, and other job-specific requirements.
