EPSILON harvester crane M160H100

Numerous criteria due to the area of application make harvester cranes solutions on highly technical level. Concerning the use of felling aggregates harvester cranes demand hydraulic systems with high power density. Moreover an adequate guide of the electric system, mostly in the form of a CANBUS signal, is required. To get unchecked access to the log, swing breaks must be installed compactly. If the crane was equipped with external guided hoses, the slewing range of the aggregate would be limited – an endless rotator could only be realized with internal guided electric and hydraulic lines.  

EPSILON did success in defining a solution to find a remedy in the matters mentioned: protected hydraulic line in the area of the aggregate with a power density of 320 l/min, internal electric guidance via CANBUS with endless rotating function, compact architecture of the swing break, as well as an endless-rotator-function demonstrate complete new developments by EPSILON.              
“Lower down times, a lower amount of maintenance and lower consequential charges are only some advantages the customer has”, acknowledges also Hans Friedrich, General Manager of EPSILON. “We are sure to have developed a customized solution for many customers of the segment”, Friedrich says. The package of the new M-class model is completed by the established and easy serviceable slewing gear with double piston system and end cushioning, four LED-spotlights á 3000 lumen, mounted at main boom gear system for ideal illumination, central greasing system and bronze bushes with greasing channels as well as easy serviceable hose and cable finish. 

Flexibility and efficiency in application the new harvester model, with a net lifting moment of 160 kNm and 10 m operating range, owes an exactly elaborated and methodical development of two years in cooperation with end customers and specialists of the industry.
