Epsilon Construction Cranes

Efficient material handling is essential on every construction site. EPSILON construction cranes feature robust design, finely tuned controls, and an array of unique solutions designed to make work easier and more efficient. For decades, PALFINGER EPSILON has been synonymous with premium solutions and outstanding reliability.

Wide-ranging customization

Whether you’re looking for remote control or want the choice between rear-mounted and side-mounted topseats, EPSILON has just the right solution – ready to go.

The right crane for every job

PALFINGER EPSILON cranes fall in Class S4 as defined by the EN 12999 standard, which means they are capable of intensive, heavy-duty use. Engineered for long shifts, rapid rotation, and swift lifting, our construction cranes deliver outstanding performance for up to 630,000 pick-and-place work cycles over four to eight-hour days.

Ideally suited to the construction sector

EPSILON cranes are ideal for clamshell bucket applications, delivering outstanding loading and unloading performance. Our L-type cranes have a long main arm and offer both high speed and excellent hook height. Meanwhile, our Tipper Z-type cranes feature an ideal working geometry for mounting on tipper chassis.

Easyfold

One main highlight of our construction cranes

A conventional Z-type crane usually requires additional stabilization when extending the boom to bridge the dead center of the knuckle-boom cylinder. But that’s not the case with Easyfold: this patented system from PALFINGER EPSILON negotiates the dead center with the help of an auxiliary cylinder.

A Selection Of Highlights In Our Recycling Cranes

Triple Z

Triple Z-type cranes feature a triple-folding boom that can be compactly stowed behind the truck cabin, offering maximum maneuverability and minimal setup time. This optional telescopic main boom opens up the working geometry of an L-type crane, which permits a higher reach and more efficient loading.

Tipper Z

With most cranes, the grabber must be dismantled and stowed safely before the crane can be transported, which eats into valuable working time. But, thanks to their short stowed length, Tipper Z-type cranes can be stowed in their entirety – including the grab – within the width of the carrier vehicle. Bodybuilders frequently struggle with the narrow mounting situations of front-mounted cranes. However, our Tipper solution features a special boom system that facilitates front mounting with minimal impact on other truck infrastructure, such as the AdBlue tank or the exhaust system.

Epslink & Epscope

EPSILON’s patented solutions are a testament to its technological leadership: Epslink is a robust link-rotator combination, while Epscope is a telescopic extension boom system. When combined, they provide a practical, professional solution that enables operators to work safely without the risk of mechanical damage to key components.

Our Different Construction Segments

Road maintenance

Road maintenance is always subject to various pressures: tight schedules, live traffic, changing weather, and short, frequent stops. Crews need equipment that can be operated safely and swiftly around people and vehicles, offering reliable performance day after day – because downtime on the roadside is both costly and risky.

EPSILON supports road servicing teams by supplying crane solutions built for efficient daily workflows. Their precise control and dependable lifting performance enable teams to load and position materials faster, reduce manual handling, and keep operations moving safely – even in challenging roadside conditions.

Civil engineering

On civil engineering projects, space is often limited and conditions are tough. Uneven ground, mud, and dust all complicate matters – yet heavy components still need to be positioned accurately. Work often takes place close to trenches, pipes, and existing infrastructure, making controlled movements essential to avoid damage and delays.

EPSILON offers crane solutions designed for demanding construction sites, combining strength with smooth, precise handling. This enables customers to position loads accurately, work faster with fewer corrections, and rely on consistent performance throughout the project.

Renewable energy

Renewable projects often take place in remote locations, are subject to stringent safety requirements, and involve handling large components with the utmost care. Wind, uneven terrain, and time-critical installation steps make reliability and controlled lifting essential – especially when every delay impacts the schedule.

EPSILON provides crane solutions that support efficient site logistics for renewable energy projects. Operators benefit from precise control and robust performance, which enables them to handle and position components safely and accurately. This, in turn, reduces downtime and keeps commissioning workflows on track.

Temporary access roadways

Temporary access roadways for construction projects call for fast deployment, flexible logistics, and frequent relocation. Materials are heavy and awkward, ground conditions change constantly, and teams must work efficiently to keep construction traffic moving – without damaging the terrain or equipment.

EPSILON supports mobile construction road operations with crane solutions built for practical, high-cycle handling. Reliable lifting power and controlled movements enable customers to load, place, and move road elements efficiently, reducing handling time while maintaining accessibility and productivity.
