FORESTRY PARTNERSHIPS Epsolutions CAT 584 with an Epsilon X120F mounted crane The Epscope solution
EPSCOPE: Patented double telescope system with extension cylinder and protected hose routing. The newly revamped and optimised boom system by Epsilon cranes results in maximum efficiency and ease of maintenance. Consistent design engineering has been applied throughout from the extension boom, crane boom tip and load attachment to the rotator and internally routed hoses, making the system a pioneering development in this sector. The “enclosed” system prevents branches from getting caught and damaging hoses. If, however, a hose needs to be changed on site at some point, then simply removing the covers makes this possible. Specially developed hoses ensure a correspondingly long service life. A chain drive for extreme loads, maintenance-free ball-bearing guide rollers and a lubrication system for the retraction chain reduce maintenance costs to a minimum.
EPSLINK: Patented link-rotator The Epslink solution
combination. The newly developed Epslink load sling, which intelligently bridges the sensitive interface between crane boom tip and rotator due to its internally routed hoses, is considerably stronger than conventional load slings. The rugged four-lug cast steel link prevents any play in the bearing surfaces due to its compact construction. This means no ‘deflection’ even under the harshest conditions. The highly wear-resistant hoses, which are internally routed for protection, have an impressively long service life and are exceptionally easy to maintain.
The Eplight solution
EPSLIGHT: The smart art of lighting the work zone up. By means of a sequence control, both spot lights are mounted on the main boom, always pointing toward the main working area no matter what is the position of the main boom. All Epsilon forwarder cranes are equipped with this system as a standard. As an option xenon lamps can be chosen instead of regular halogen lights.
It was clear that there was a great understanding of each other’s requirements, needs and wishes and so it was only a matter of a few months until Epsilon had launched and presented a heavy-lift forwarder crane for Caterpillar’s 20 t forwarder
hence it will offer special solutions from Epsilon to increase the customer’s performance even more. Just recently the driving forces of both companies, John Carpenter (President of Caterpillar Forest Products) and Hans Friedrich (Managing Director of Epsilon) met at Caterpillar’s forest products headquarters in LaGrange,
Georgia, US, to finalise details of the cooperation and to celebrate the launch of the first CAT 584 with an Epsilon X120F mounted crane. Both gentlemen agreed that it is not just a good looking combination, but a truly promising one that will make it possible to gather the market share both companies expect. IFI
