Can a 35-Ton Crane Pick Up a Wine Glass? SANY PALFINGER SPS35000TEC D Precision Challenge

At the SANY PALFINGER new product launch event, one challenge stopped everyone in their tracks — using a massive truck-mounted crane to lift a single wine glass off the ground.

Sounds impossible? That's exactly the point.

The Challenge: Fastest Time Wins

Participants took turns at the controls of the brand-new SANY PALFINGER SPS35000TEC D — a 35-ton capacity truck-mounted crane — and competed to hook and lift a delicate wine glass as quickly and precisely as possible. The rules were simple: fastest time wins. But executing it? That's where the real skill — and the crane's engineering — came into play.

Why This Game Actually Means Something

This wasn't just fun. It was a real-world demonstration of three things that matter most to crane operators on the job:

• Smoothness — Any jerky movement and the glass tips over. The SPS35000TEC D's hydraulic system delivered butter-smooth micro-movements that surprised even experienced operators.
• Precision — Positioning a hook within centimeters of a target at the end of a long boom requires exceptional control response. The crane passed with flying colors.
• Ease of operation — First-time participants were able to get close to the glass within seconds, a testament to how intuitive the new control system is.

The SPS35000TEC D: Built for Real Work, Proven in a Game

The SANY PALFINGER SPS35000TEC D is engineered for demanding lifting operations — construction sites, infrastructure projects, heavy cargo loading. But when a crane can handle a wine glass challenge, you know it's built with a level of hydraulic refinement that translates directly into safer, faster, and more efficient work on any job site.

If a crane can lift a wine glass, imagine what it can do for your operations.
