NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO - The message, "Continuing to strengthen our footprint in the Americas is a must!" was made by Mark Woody, president of Palfinger North America following the announcement to all Palfinger North America employees stating the EPSILON timber and recycling crane will now be an additional product offering in North and Latin America.

EPSILON, which is part of the PALFINGER Group; manufactures hydraulic knuckle boom cranes (loaders) designed for high cycle, heavy-duty applications, such as forestry, scrap processing and waste hauling.

With the saying "The customer is the best developer" PALFINGER North America is always receptive to their wishes and suggestions. "More and more customers are asking for a product specific to timber and recycling applications", says Woody. "The EPSILON product will provide users with a practical solution for their loading situations where high dynamic stresses occur."

Vigorous movements and high speeds characterize recycling and scrap handling industries, along with continuous, heavy grab duty. The cranes have to work quickly and are often on continuous duty. The EPSILON cranes are characterized by numerous solution-oriented features which make the driver's job easier.

Standard features include the double slewing system and a steel casting column, radio remote or stand-up controls, spot lights, linkage system between the crane column and main boom and of course the highlights of EPSOLUTION, EPSCOPE AND EPSLINK.

The EPSILON product range will be introduced to the North American market at the ICUEE show next month in Louisville.
