The benchmark for comfort and user-friendliness has been raised to a new level with the unique top seat from PALFINGER EPSILON. The Master Drive not only gives the operator full control for every job, but also enables extremely careful handling thanks to its sophisticated design and top-class technology. The ergonomic design of the mechanically suspended top seat ensures a high level of seat comfort, and all functions are immediately within reach with the multi-function armrest.

The newly developed EPSHOOD crane operator protection system ensures optimum protection during work. The folding mechanism and technical thermoplastic keep wind, rain and sun away from the operator, guaranteeing maximum comfort every time.

The new side seat can now be hydraulically lowered to a suitable access level directly via the entry area at the base. This means that the operator no longer has to climb a ladder to reach the seat, as the seat comes to the operator. From there, the operator can conveniently and, more importantly, safely access the control stand and hydraulically move up to the desired working position. The new side seat also offers a seating position that is 38 cm higher, therefore ensuring even better visibility. In addition, the swivel radius, which is particularly important for container setups, has been significantly improved by the new design.

The crane speed of the Q-Series has also been improved significantly. Cranes in the higher lifting classes from 14 tonne metres upwards are usually much slower than smaller models.
Not so with the new EPSILON Q-Series!

Thanks to increased pressure and smaller cylinder diameters, it achieves a crane speed 15% higher.
This means that customers can access maximum speed even at higher lifting capacities.

EPSILON has taken a fresh approach to the extension boom system with a protected, internal hose guide and internal telescopic cylinder! The new design of the double telescopic system for Z-cranes enables up to 1400 mm greater reach than the previous model. This means a total reach of an incredible 11 m.

The synchronous principle of the telescopic system ensures exceptionally high and constant extension speeds.

When it comes to ease of servicing and technical convenience, no crane manufacturer can hold a candle to PALFINGER EPSILON. The unique design of the internal hose guide enables simple handling for the operator every time. In addition, the internal hose guide reduces the risk of damage to the hoses. Nevertheless, service openings on the crane make it possible to carry out any replacement work, which, in turn, saves time and money.

As much as 300 kg lighter than its predecessor series.

Thanks to the use of high-tensile steels combined with state-of-the-art, computer-aided simulation methods (3D and finite element calculations), it has been possible to reduce the unladen weight of the Q- and S-Series of the NEXT EPSOLUTION model range significantly – while making a number of key technical improvements.

As almost 80 percent of the steel components are produced in-house, it can always be guaranteed that the material is only delivered exactly where it is needed. Millimetre for millimetre, component for component – at the highest level of quality.

EPSILON's intelligent lights for forwarder cranes shine on the working area at all times thanks to the way in which they are installed on the lifting cylinder. This ensures that the available light is used to its fullest effect.

Thanks to the latest LED technology, the lights are much smaller and yet maintain the expected level of luminous efficacy. Furthermore, now that the lights are positioned on the lifting cylinder directly underneath the main boom, they are even better protected against damage.
Three 1,000-lumen LEDs as standard – two on the main boom, one on the knuckle boom (three 2,600-lumen LEDs available as option).
