Palfinger ETC MH 40 IH

The Palfinger ETC MH 40 IH is a powerful insulated articulating and telescopic bucket truck engineered for operators who need maximum reach, flexibility, and load-handling capability in utility, telecom, and construction applications. Its rigid insulated boom meets ANSI A92.2 Category C standards (up to 46 kV) and provides 360° continuous rotation for safe, precise, and versatile operation.

With a working height of 45’ (13.72 m), side reach of 30’ (8.53 m), and platform capacity of 400 lb (181 kg), the ETC MH 40 IH allows crews to tackle elevated tasks efficiently. The top-mounted 3 ft (0.9 m) jib with hydraulic lift and winch handles up to 1,000 lb (454 kg), while maintaining 300 lb (136 kg) capacity at full side reach. Optional 2 ft elevator extensions further increase flexibility for high-demand material handling.

Equipped with single-hand proportional upper controls, hydraulic bucket rotator (180°), tool circuits, and platform leveling (automatic/manual), the ETC MH 40 IH ensures intuitive, efficient, and safe operation. Additional features include outrigger interlocks, emergency descent valve, adjustable boom wear pads, and powder coating for durability and corrosion resistance. Its class-leading aerial rigidity minimizes bounce, delivering precise handling even under heavy loads.
