Recycling demands performance without compromise. EPSILON recycling cranes feature robust design, finely tuned controls, and an array of unique solutions designed to make work easier and more efficient. Backed by decades of PALFINGER EPSILON reliability.

Extensive customization options

Whether you need remote control capability or want to choose between rear-mounted and side-mounted topseats, EPSILON has exactly the solution you need – ready to go.

Strong customer focus

The people who operate recycling cranes – day in, day out – are the foremost experts in what these cranes should look like. We seek out your perspectives and engage with your requirements when designing our cranes. This input influences key parameters, such as lifting capacity, installation height, boom geometry, and control methods.

State-of-the-art manufacturing

We focus on swift and efficient production processes, including synchronized assembly lines and streamlined logistics. A strong culture of improvement and a long-term perspective keep delivery times short and crane quality consistently high.

EASYFOLD

One main highlight of our recycling 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 The 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 allows operators to work safely without the risk of mechanical damage to hydraulic components and a maintenance-friendly system when servicing is required.

Our Different Recycling Segments

Scrap

Scrap handling takes a toll on equipment: sharp edges, unpredictable loads, constant impacts, and abrasive dirt all accelerate wear. And, while fast cycle times are crucial, operators also need fine control to avoid damage, spills, and unsafe load swings – especially in tight yards with non-stop traffic.

 

EPSILON delivers scrap crane solutions built for durability and controlled power. Their robust design, reliable hydraulics, and precise handling help customers move more material each shift, reduce unplanned downtime, and keep operations running more safely and smoothly, even under heavy daily stress.

PALFINGER

Waste Management

Waste handling is all about dealing with variety and maintaining an efficient tempo: mixed materials, changing weights, and awkward shapes, all while contending with dust, moisture, and stop-start routines. Equipment must stay dependable in harsh environments, while operators need smooth, predictable movements to load, sort, and compact materials efficiently without unnecessary fuel consumption.

 

EPSILON supports waste management with crane solutions designed for reliable continuous duty and efficient material handling. Smooth control, strong lifting performance, and durable components help customers to accelerate their loading and sorting processes, improve uptime, and run a cleaner, more efficient cycle – day after day.

PALFINGER

Container Discharging

Container discharging requires precision under time pressure: tight time windows, limited space, and the need to discharge quickly without damaging goods, containers, or the surrounding infrastructure. Stability, reach, and fine control are just as important as raw power.

 

PALFINGER EPSILON offers crane solutions that enable customers to discharge containers faster and safer thanks to controlled movements and reliable performance. Our systems support efficient discharging processes, reduce handling errors, and keep handling times short—ideal in environments where every minute counts.
