Description
TZX 170 Spider Cherry Picker: Technical Specification
The TZX 170 is one of the most capable lightweight spider lifts in its class. At just 2,000kg total weight with a compact 980mm tracking width, it combines genuine working height with a footprint small enough for restricted access sites.
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.

Power Options: Palazzani TZX 170
The TZX 170 features a flexible dual power setup, allowing operators to deploy this lightweight spider cherry picker across diverse work environments.
Diesel Engine
Highly efficient combustion setup built to deliver robust drive torque and tracking speeds across open outdoor spaces and rough ground conditions.
Mains Electric Motor
Quiet 230 VAC plug-in electric system ensuring completely emission-free indoor operation inside enclosed yards, historical halls, and public facilities.
The Benefits of the Palazzani TZX 170 Spider Cherry Picker
Built for the jobs others cannot reach, the TZX 170 combines lightweight structural engineering with impressive performance across a range of demanding access environments.
Agile in the Tightest Spaces
With a compact 980mm tracking width, the TZX 170 cleanly navigates standard estate gates, commercial doorways, and tight courtyard access paths. Purpose-built for restricted access setups where bulkier alternative platforms cannot travel.
Stable on Ground Others Would Avoid
Low ground-pressure tracks, independent outrigger leveling up to 31%, and an 18% travel gradeability rating keep the TZX 170 perfectly stable across steep banks, soft lawns, and unmade ground. All configurations fully comply with IPAF safety standards.
Clean Dual Power as Standard
The Bi-Energy powertrain couples a robust diesel engine with a quiet, single-phase 230 VAC electric system for emission-free indoor tasks. Fully aligned with HSE construction site emissions guidance for low-emission mandates.
Two Operators, One Machine
A robust 200kg basket payload limit and a 7.8m horizontal outreach mean two workers can operate comfortably at full height simultaneously. Optimises project turnaround and cuts down additional hire requirements.
Easy to Transport, Easy to Deploy
At a highly manageable 2,000kg total machine weight, the TZX 170 is light enough to be towed behind standard commercial utility vehicles on a conventional plant trailer. Streamlines transport logistics and keeps deployment fast.
