Palfinger: Supporting Safety, Efficiency and Growth in the Frame & Truss Industry
14th April 2026
By Palfinger Australia
The frame and truss industry relies on precision, efficiency and, above all, safety. At Palfinger Australia, we work closely with manufacturers to support these priorities every day. Our lifting solutions are used across the full workflow, from unloading packs of timber to placing roof trusses safely and accurately on site.
Palfinger is a global brand with decades of lifting expertise. However, our focus at the FTMA National Conference & Trade Expo is firmly local. We work directly with Australian frame and truss businesses to understand their daily challenges. These include tight schedules, labour constraints, safety compliance requirements and the need to protect both people and product. Many of our solutions have been developed in direct response to industry feedback.
At our booth, delegates will be able to discover Palfinger’s range, including TEC (advanced features to improve operator experience) specifically designed for frame and truss handling. These cranes offer greater control and improved visibility for operators. As a result, manual handling is reduced and on-site safety is improved. Features such as precision control, intelligent stability systems and advanced load monitoring allow trusses to be positioned accurately. This is particularly valuable in confined or complex working environments.
For businesses under pressure to increase productivity while meeting strict safety obligations, our cranes provide a practical and reliable solution. They help streamline operations without compromising safety or quality.
Safety remains a core focus for Palfinger. Our cranes integrate multiple safety technologies designed to protect operators and surrounding workers. These systems significantly reduce risk during lifting operations. By minimising manual handling and improving crane control, businesses can reduce the likelihood of injuries. They can also lower the risk of product damage and rework. The result is safer workplaces, both in the factory and on site.
Our long-term commitment to the frame and truss sector is reflected in the customers we support across Australia. Some include AT&T (Australian Timber and Truss) in Queensland, Dalshens in Victoria, and Oxley Frames and Truss and Alpine Frames and Truss in New South Wales. We also work closely with Langs Building Supplies, Team Transport and QLD Steel House Frames. Every day, these businesses rely on Palfinger equipment to move, load and install framing materials safely and efficiently.
Equally important is after-sales support. Palfinger customers benefit from access to a strong local and global parts network, supported by experienced service partners. This ensures faster access to parts and reduced downtime. Most importantly, it provides confidence that support is available when it is needed.
We look forward to connecting with FTMA members at the Trade Expo. Whether your focus is improving on-site safety, streamlining operations, or exploring modern lifting technology, the Palfinger team will be there to share insights and discuss solutions tailored to the frame and truss industry.
