Master Drive

Firmly in the saddle

The new top seat from PALFINGER EPSILON has raised the bar for comfort and user-friendliness.

The Master Drive not only gives the operator full control in every application, but also enables very careful handling thanks to its sophisticated design and top-class technology.

The ergonomic design of the mechanically suspended top seat makes the seat extremely comfortable. Meanwhile, the multi-function armrest puts all commands at your fingertips.
