Protected hydraulic routing

Epslink and Epscope combine to deliver unmatched performance.

Protected hydraulic guide

EPSLINK

Epslink is EPSILON’s patented link-rotator combination. It features an extraordinarily robust four-eye-cast link with internal hose routing – and combines with Epscope to provide a practical, professional solution.

alt text

EPSCOPE

Epscope is EPSILON’s patented extension boom system, available in both single and double telescope variants. The extension cylinder and hose equipment are mounted internally, which allows operators to work safely without the risk of mechanical damage to key components.

KTL, finite element modeling and functional design

Innovative technology for long-lasting surface protection, durability testing and optimized functionality.

Cathodic dip coating (KTL)

This specialist surface treatment lays the foundations for long-lasting surface protection. PALFINGER’s Marburg and Lengau production facilities feature fully automated cathodic dip coating lines.

This treatment starts by degreasing and rinsing components before activating them, applying a zinc phosphate coating and then rinsing again. This is followed by passivation and a final rinsing step with ultra-pure water before the components undergo cathodic dip coating. Sophisticated robotic systems then finalize the process.

Finite element method

At EPSILON, we apply the finite element method to optimize our crane construction processes. We have deployed this state-of-the-art modeling technique for several years to refine all supporting elements made from fine-grain steel.

alt text

Functional design

We develop every shape and detail based on function and practical application. Our designs follow a clear technical logic that ensures efficient, intuitive operation, and high performance. This approach combines technical precision with a clean, functional aesthetic.

Double slewing system

The double slewing system features a limit position damper and provides an outstanding torque rating. The high-precision toothed-rack slewing system delivers excellent slewing power, while the self-aligning roller bearing is sealed in an oil bath for reliable performance.
