Intelligent, intuitive solutions

Smart Control – PALFINGER’S boom tip control system – makes crane operation easier, more intuitive, and faster than ever. Its integrated electronic end stop damper also significantly reduces wear on the main components.

Smart Control and integrated electronic end stop damper for the crane functions

Smart control

PALFINGER’S new boom tip control system, Smart Control, is available as an optional feature. It makes crane operation easier, more intuitive, and faster than ever.

 

Rather than controlling each cylinder individually, crane operators can now concentrate exclusively on the boom tip.

Smart Control also makes it possible to exploit the crane’s full mechanical capabilities in every situation by ensuring that key movement parameters are optimized and coordinated in every position.

 

This enhances efficiency and alleviates operator fatigue. Easing the physical burden on operators helps to prevent accidents and markedly reduce training times.

 

In addition, the integrated electronic end stop damper significantly reduces wear on the main components.

 

As always, PALFINGER EPSILON has paid close attention to creating products that are easy to service. The sensors, for example, can be maintained and replaced without removing the hydraulic cylinders.

Limit position damper

In addition, the integrated electronic limit position damper helps to significantly reduce wear on the main components.

With this latest product, too, PALFINGER EPSILON has once again given a lot of attention to service-friendliness. The sensors, for example, can be maintained and replaced without the hydraulic cylinders also having to be removed.

The fastest in their class

High performance: Load Sensing (LS) enables operators to work up to 12% faster and drives up efficiency.

GENERATION 3 models feature piping and hoses with larger cross-sections along with optimized hydraulic matching, newly

developed telescopic cylinders, and specifically adapted cylinder dimensions. The result? Fast and precise crane movements. In fact, GENERATION 3 models are up to 12% faster than their predecessors.

 

The Load Sensing (LS) system is available as an optional extra.

Protected hydraulic routing

Epslink, Epscope, internal hose routing (HPI), and outstanding stability represent an ideal combination.

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.

alt text

HPI

Our Hose Package Inside (HPI) design system provides optimal protection against external influences. It significantly reduces the risk of mechanical damage, such as when working in a dense, overgrown forest.

Flexible hoses connect the hydraulics to a slewing distributor, ensuring maximum performance with the highest possible flexibility.

The introduction of GENERATION 3 has already brought about numerous other improvements to the hose package, further cutting and compensating for wear caused by use and making maintenance as straightforward as possible.

alt text

Outriggers

The new GENERATION 3 is available with support widths of 3.9 to 5.4 meters. This ensures excellent stability during use, making it possible to utilize the crane’s maximum lifting capacity. The full-length outriggers are now even more robust than on previous models – delivering an extended service life as standard.

The longest reach

New boom systems permit a previously impossible reach of up to 10.9 meters – making them the longest and strongest in their class.

Highlights

Central Greasing System

Grease volume reduced by up to 80%

Greasing has never been so easy

The Central Greasing System supplies all key systems, allowing the operator to focus on the task at hand. Automatic greasing eliminates the risk of lubrication points being overlooked, which significantly increases the service life of bronze bearings. The hoses and distributors in this optional feature are integrated into the crane’s structure to protect them against damage.

alt text

With automatic greasing, a central electric grease pump supplies the grease distribution system. It automatically inputs a defined quantity every 30 minutes to ensure smooth operation. This highly efficient system only uses grease where it is needed – meaning that, on average, 2 kg of grease is sufficient for one year of operation (based on 1,000 operating hours per year).

LED360

We offer the option of six floodlights – with an output of 3000 lumens each – mounted on the top seat for 360° illumination of the work area. This makes working in low-light conditions far more productive and much safer. These floodlights can also be switched on from the truck.

The LED360 system comprises six LED lights on the control stand and a further two LED lights on the knuckle boom, with an output of 3,000 lumen per light.

This provides 360° illumination of the work area for optimized visibility in low-light conditions and inclement weather. These durable, premium-quality LED lighting systems support safe access to the control stand and can be operated from the truck cabin.
