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 and precise crane movement.

Our Timber Crane Segments
Timber haulage
Tight schedules, heavy loads, and challenging conditions mean that timber haulage is a never-ending test of efficiency and endurance. Operators need fast loading cycles without any loss of control, stable handling even when dealing with long timber, and equipment that performs well when subjected to rain, cold, dirt and vibrations. Downtime is expensive – but there’s no room to compromise on safety.
EPSILON provides the right crane solutions for timber haulage with strong, durable designs and precise control for smooth, confident loading. Our systems are built for high-cycle work, reliable daily operation, and consistently high performance – helping customers reduce loading time, protect equipment, and keep cranes running at optimum.

Timber harvesting
Steep terrain, unstable ground, and changing weather conditions ensure that every turn presents a unique challenge. Loads can vary significantly, visibility is often limited, and machinery is forced to contend with sudden impacts, mud, and cold starts. But despite this, operators rely on precise control to work safely and keep productivity high.
EPSILON supports timber harvesting with its tough offroad crane solutions built for demanding forestry jobs. Offering impressive lifting power, robust components, and smooth, responsive control, they enable operators to handle timber efficiently, even in difficult conditions – reducing machine stress while enhancing safety and maximizing uptime.
Timber processing
High throughput, repetitive cycles, and tight yards demand speed and accuracy in equal measure. Materials must be effectively sorted and securely stacked, movements must be easily repeatable – and any downtime brings the entire workflow to a halt. At the same time, dust, continuous operation, and heavy-duty grabbing operations exacerbate machine wear.
EPSILON’s crane solutions for timber processing combine precise handling with reliable performance, even in continuous duty. Their robust geometry, controlled movements, and durable construction facilitate fast cycles and clean stacking, helping customers increase throughput and keep operations running smoothly.
Gardening and landscaping
Jobs are constantly changing, space is often at a premium, and work takes place close to people, buildings, and finished surfaces. Loads can be bulky, fragile, or awkward, meaning that operators rely on smooth crane movements to place materials safely and accurately. Machinery must therefore be versatile, easy to operate, and suitable for daily use.
EPSILON offers crane solutions for garden and landscaping, focusing on controlled handling and flexible operation. Precise control and reliable lifting performance help customers to position materials accurately, work safely in confined areas, and complete jobs faster with reduced need for rework.
