THE NEW GENERATION 3

Product catalog summary
Introduction
PALFINGER EPSILON introduces the new Generation 3 of timber and recycling cranes, combining proven technology with the latest innovations to enhance efficiency and sustainability. The focus is on making customer operations more efficient while conserving environmental resources.

Product Overview
The new Generation 3 cranes are developed with customer feedback, integrating the best features of previous models with new technological advancements. The cranes offer improved convenience, design, and purpose-specific technologies, making them more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Product Designation
The cranes are categorized into Z Cranes and L Cranes, with models ranging from medium to medium/heavy capacity. The TZ17 model, for example, indicates a lifting moment of 17 meter tons.

Performance Enhancements
Generation 3 cranes are up to 12% faster than previous models due to larger cross-section piping, optimized hydraulic matching, and new telescopic cylinders. They offer a reach of up to 10.9 meters, with compact Z crane models extending only 730 mm downwards.

Operator Convenience
The new Comfort Drive includes an ergonomically shaped, heated seat with suspension to reduce operator fatigue. Hydraulic pilot controls allow for sensitive and smooth crane operation. The system can be configured with SMART CONTROL, an intelligent crane control system.

Safety and Visibility
Optional features include a crane operator guard for enhanced safety and 360° LED lighting for improved visibility in dark conditions.

SMART CONTROL System
SMART CONTROL simplifies crane operation by allowing the operator to control the crane tip with a joystick, while the software manages the rest. This system reduces operator fatigue and increases work performance.

Stability and Support
Generation 3 cranes offer support widths of 3.9 to 5.4 meters for excellent stabilization. Internal hose routing protects hydraulic components, and a central greasing system reduces maintenance efforts.

Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed technical specifications for various models, including lifting moments, slewing torque, maximum outreach, operating pressure, and recommended pump capacity.

Conclusion
PALFINGER EPSILON's Generation 3 cranes represent a significant advancement in crane technology, offering enhanced performance, operator convenience, and sustainability. The company remains committed to innovation and customer satisfaction.
