The new Virtual Drive – as a concept study, the virtual-reality (VR) control system developed by PALFINGER EPSILON offers some early insight into the control technology of tomorrow. 
A perfectly designed VR control system offers not only enhanced driver comfort and safety but also a range of additional benefits such as a better overview of the situation, additional loads and reduced fuel consumption.

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.

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.

EPSILON is the first European manufacturer to develop an A-frame crane exclusively for the North American market in order to meet local needs even more effectively.

The A-frame design, typical in North America, has been newly developed for local installers by a European company for the first time and given further improvements over the competition. As usual, however, the requirements of the operator were very much at the heart of this new development.

Consequently, with the Comfort Drive, a new crane command centre has been developed that redefines seat ergonomics and user-friendliness in the North American logger sector, especially in combination with the optional Cold Weather Package and EPSHOOD features.

The NEXT EPSOLUTION model range has been developed from scratch in collaboration with industrial designers, test operators and highly qualified employees.
This model range sets entirely new standards in terms of design. Enjoy total comfort as soon as you take your place in the tried-and-tested Master Drive seat and operate the multi-function command centre from the highest vantage point.
The technology employed in the Q-Series will impress you right from the start when you notice how much your day-to-day productivity increases thanks to new reach and extremely precise control by hydraulic servo-controlled joysticks.

All you need to do is activate 'Raise knuckle boom' – EASYFOLD will do the rest!

With Z-cranes, a stabiliser on the ground is normally required to bypass the dead centre of the outer boom ram. Not so with the EASYFOLD system from EPSILON (patent pending).

• Activating the 'Raise knuckle boom' function folds the crane completely
• Dead centre is passed with the aid of auxiliary cylinders

EPSILON's intelligent lights for forwarder cranes automatically shine on the working area at all times thanks to direction control. This ensures that the available light is used to its fullest effect.

All EPSILON timber grabs come equipped with the latest sealing technology and ample bearing surfaces. Moreover, adjustable bolts and bronze bushings are used to prevent bearing play and ensure that the grab remains a precise tool even after years of operation.
