What is wrong
Palfinger, Inc. (Palfinger) is recalling certain Knuckle Boom Cranes, models PW38001, 42001, and 50001. The crane base may crack over time from normal crane use.
What could happen

The fix
Palfinger will provide inspection and welding instructions for a certified welder to repair any visible cracks and weld a reinforcement plate onto the connection plate on the base as necessary, free of charge.
