Palazzani PB 30 3.35t 1998-2004 - Technical data

Palazzani PB 30 - Product Description

Powertrain and Structure

The Palazzani PB 30 produced between 1998 and 2004 is powered by a Yanmar 4TNE88 engine delivering 37 kW. The drive type “A” indicates a standard two-axle driveline, front and rear, typical for backhoe loaders in this weight class. The machine’s structure is based on the PB model series with a ROPS certified cabin, offering protection and structural integrity under typical working loads and uneven terrain. The front implements include a standard loader bucket, while the rear comprises a backhoe arm with a standard reverse bucket configuration. These features enable the machine to perform both excavation and loading tasks efficiently.

Travel System and Hydraulics

The PB 30 rides on standard 10×16.5 tires, ensuring sufficient footprint and stability during loading and digging operations. It comes equipped with stabilisers (outrigger stabilisers) which enhance stability when using the rear backhoe arm by reducing tipping risk and improving safety. The hydraulic system controls both the loader and backhoe functions, with optional equipment such as a grabber offered for more specialized tasks. Hydraulics are operated through conventional hydraulic connections, facilitating maintenance and interchange of accessories.

Operating Parameters

For the 1998-2004 production period, the operating weight is approximately 3.35 t. The standard loader bucket capacity is 0.4 m³, which aligns with duties involving material handling, earth moving and light aggregate work. Transport dimensions are 4.43 m in length, 1.49 m in width, and 2.41 m in height, which are critical for logistics and road transport compliance. The engine power of 37 kW and the Yanmar 4TNE88 engine provide a reliable performance base under typical soil and site conditions. Data such as breakout force or maximum digging depth are not consistently confirmed for this specific variant and are therefore omitted.

Additional Equipment

Data confirms that the Palazzani PB 30 from 1998-2004 is equipped with stabilisers and optionally with a grabber. Diesel particulate filter and air conditioning are not present in this version. The flip bucket (czerpak klapowy) attachment is indicated as absent. Typical optional equipment for backhoe loaders of this size might include different types of buckets (heavy-duty, rock-duty), auxiliary lighting, enhanced cab ergonomics, climate control, or upgraded hydraulic controls — however, none of these are verified for this specific unit.

Safety and Technical Data

The machine includes a ROPS-protected cabin to safeguard the operator in case of rollover or structural collapse. An operating weight around 3.35 t and transport dimensions of 4.43 m × 1.49 m × 2.41 m impose requirements for secure transport and handling. The Yanmar 4TNE88 engine is a proven design, offering reliability and availability of spare parts. The absence of a diesel particulate filter and unspecified emission level mean the unit's emissions standard cannot be confirmed. Stabilisers enhance safety when using rear excavator functions, and the standard tire setup contributes to dependable traction on typical construction surfaces.
