Efficient material handling is essential on every construction site. EPSILON construction cranes feature robust design, finely tuned controls, and an array of unique solutions designed to make work easier and more efficient. For decades, PALFINGER EPSILON has been synonymous with premium solutions and outstanding reliability.

One crane - a wide range of control types

Whether you’re looking for a remote control, a stand up control or want the choice between rear-mounted and side-mounted topseats, EPSILON has just the right solution – ready to go.

The right crane for even the toughest jobs

PALFINGER EPSILON cranes fall into Class S4 as defined by the EN 12999 standard, which means they are capable of intensive, heavy-duty use. Engineered for long shifts, rapid rotation, and repetitive working cycles, our construction cranes deliver outstanding performance.

Ideally suited for the construction sector

EPSILON cranes are perfect for clamshell bucket applications, delivering exceptional loading and discharging performance. Our L-type cranes feature a long main arm and offer both high speed and excellent hook height. Meanwhile, our TIPPER and TRIPLE-Z boom systems are ideally configured for installations behind the truck cabin.

EASYFOLD

One main highlight of our construction cranes

A conventional Z-type crane usually requires additional stabilization when extending the boom to bridge the dead center of the knuckle-boom cylinder. However, that’s not the case with the optional EASYFOLD feature: this patented system from PALFINGER EPSILON negotiates the dead center with the help of an auxiliary cylinder.

A Selection Of Highlights In Our Recycling Cranes

TRIPLE-Z

The specially developed TRIPLE-Z arm system features a telescopic main arm in addition to the standard telescopic knuckle boom. This optional telescopic main arm extends the working geometry of a Z-crane, enabling greater reach, improved hook height, and more efficient loading - all while maintaining the same compact parking position and including the advantages of a TIPPER-Z system.

TIPPER-Z

The optional TIPPER-Z arm system is the solution for front-mounted cranes. The vehicle manufacturer faces limited space behind the truck cab (AdBlue tank, exhaust system, etc.). The TIPPER-Z arm system impresses with its extremely compact design and minimizes the impact on truck components compared to conventional Z-arm systems. Furthermore, the arm system allows parking with the clamshell bucket mounted within the legally permitted vehicle width and height. Time-consuming (dis)assembly, as required with other crane solutions, is eliminated, significantly boosting the machine's productivity.

EPSLINK & EPSCOPE

EPSILON's patented solutions are proof of its technological leadership: The EPSLINK is a robust link-rotator combination, while the EPSCOPE is a telescopic system with internal crane hydraulics. Combined, they offer a practical, professional solution that enables operators to work safely without the risk of mechanical damage to hydraulic components, while providing a maintenance-friendly system for servicing.

Our Different Construction Segments

Road maintenance

Road maintenance is always subject to various pressures: tight schedules, live traffic, changing weather, and short, frequent stops. Crews need equipment that can be operated safely and swiftly around people and vehicles, offering reliable performance day after day – because downtime on the roadside is both costly and risky.

 

EPSILON supports road servicing teams by supplying crane solutions built for efficient daily workflows. Their precise control and dependable lifting performance enable teams to load and position materials faster, reduce manual handling, and keep operations moving safely – even in challenging roadside conditions.

PALFINGER

Civil engineering

On civil engineering projects, space is often limited and conditions are tough. Uneven ground, mud, and dust all complicate matters – yet heavy components still need to be positioned accurately. Work often takes place close to trenches, pipes, and existing infrastructure, making controlled movements essential to avoid damage and delays.

 

EPSILON offers crane solutions designed for demanding construction sites, combining strength with smooth, precise handling. This enables customers to position loads accurately, work faster with fewer corrections, and rely on consistent performance throughout the project.

PALFINGER

Renewable energy

Renewable projects often take place in remote locations, are subject to stringent safety requirements, and involve handling large components with the utmost care. Wind, uneven terrain, and time-critical installation steps make reliability and controlled lifting essential – especially when every delay impacts the schedule.

 

EPSILON provides crane solutions that support efficient site logistics for renewable energy projects. Operators benefit from precise control and robust performance, which enables them to handle and position components safely and accurately. This, in turn, reduces downtime and keeps commissioning workflows on track.

PALFINGER

Temporary access roadways

Temporary access roadways for construction projects call for fast deployment, flexible logistics, and frequent relocation. Materials are heavy and awkward, ground conditions change constantly, and teams must work efficiently to keep construction traffic moving – without damaging the terrain or equipment.

 

EPSILON supports mobile construction road operations with crane solutions built for practical, high-cycle handling. Reliable lifting power and controlled movements enable customers to load, place, and move road elements efficiently, reducing handling time while maintaining accessibility and productivity.
