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.

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.

Container discharge

Discharging containers calls for precision under pressure: tight time windows, limited space, and the need to unload quickly without damaging goods, containers, or surrounding infrastructure. Loads can be dense, tangled, or tricky to access – so stability, reach, and fine control matter as much as raw power.

EPSILON provides crane solutions that enable customers to discharge containers faster and more safely thanks to controlled movements and dependable performance. Our systems support efficient unloading workflows, reduce handling errors, and keep turnaround times short – ideal in settings where every minute counts.
