SMART CONTROL
Actual highlight of GENERATION 3Thanks to SMART CONTROL, operators no longer need to use different levers to control each cylinder individually. Instead, in this straightforward and intuitive system, they control the crane tip alone – and our sophisticated software does the rest. This technology has proven itself over years of service. It combines three crane functions (main boom, knuckle boom, and telescopic boom) in a single joystick to ensure smooth crane movement.

Our Timber Crane Segments
Timber haulage
Tight schedules, heavy loads, and difficult conditions mean that timber haulage is a constant test of efficiency and endurance. Operators need fast loading cycles without losing control, stable handling of logs in different lengths, and equipment that works well in rain, cold, and dirt. Downtime is expensive - but there can be no compromise on safety.
EPSILON offers the right crane solutions for timber haulage with robust, durable designs and precise control for smooth, safe loading.
Our systems are designed for high duty cycles, reliable daily operation, and consistently high performance. They help our customers reduce loading times, protect equipment, and keep cranes running optimally.

Timber harvesting
Steep terrain, uneven ground, and changing weather conditions ensure that every day presents a unique challenge.
Loads can vary greatly, visibility is often limited, and machines must withstand sudden shocks, mud, and cold starts. Despite these challenges, operators rely on precise and dependable crane control to work safely and maintain high productivity.
EPSILON supports timber harvesting with its robust off-road crane solutions, designed for demanding forwarder and skidder operations. They offer impressive lifting power, durable components, and sensitive controls that enable operators to efficiently handle logs even under challenging conditions - reducing machine stress, increasing safety, and maximizing uptime.
Timber processing
High throughput and repetitive cycles require speed and accuracy in equal measure. Materials must be sorted and processed effectively, movements must be easily repeatable – and any downtime brings the entire workflow to a standstill. At the same time, dust and continuous operation exacerbate machine wear.
EPSILON's crane solutions for wood processing combine precise handling with reliable performance, even in continuous operation. Their robust design and precise control enable fast cycles and help customers to increase throughput and maintain smooth operation.
Gardening and landscaping
The tasks are varied, space is often tight, and the work takes place in close proximity to people and buildings. Loads can be bulky, unstable, or unwieldy, so operators rely on smooth crane movements to place materials safely and accurately.
The machines must therefore be versatile, easy to operate, and suitable for daily use. EPSILON offers loader crane solutions for gardening and landscaping, with a focus on controlled handling and flexible operation. Sensitive control and reliable lifting performance help customers position materials precisely, work safely in confined areas, and complete jobs faster with less need for rework.
