Who Uses the Palazzani TZX 170 Spider Cherry Picker?
The TZX 170 is the go-to lightweight spider cherry picker for professionals who need genuine working height in places a standard cherry picker cannot reach.
Arborists and Tree Surgeons
Rely on the TZX 170 for its low ground pressure rubber tracks, which protect root systems and sensitive ground surfaces that wheeled machines would damage. At 17m working height with 7.8m of outreach it gives tree surgeons the reach they need without the footprint they cannot afford.
Telecoms Installation Teams
Choose the TZX 170 because its compact 980mm stowed tracking width allows it to navigate tight access paths and estate gates. The 200kg basket easily carries two operators along with their tools directly to the work area.
Outdoor Maintenance Specialists
Value the TZX 170 for its variable position outriggers that enable secure setup on steep, uneven lawns or slopes up to 31%, keeping work moving safely where standard lifts cannot balance.
Roofing and Building Maintenance Contractors
Use the TZX 170 for rapid gutter repairs and edge inspections. Because the entire 2,000kg unit can be towed behind a standard commercial vehicle on a standard driving licence, it cuts down on transport logistics and site setup times.
