PALFINGER EPSILON Crane Trucks for Hire and Sale

Move, load and tip materials using one versatile commercial vehicle. MV Commercial supplies specialist trucks equipped with PALFINGER EPSILON cranes for hire, lease, rent-to-buy and sale throughout the UK.

Our EPSILON fleet is centred on practical tipper grab combinations for construction, aggregates, highways, utilities, recycling and waste operations. Choose an available Ready to Go vehicle or work with our team to develop a truck around your preferred chassis, payload, grab and working requirements.


A Complete Material-Handling Vehicle

A tipper grab combines three important capabilities. It can load loose material using its crane and grab, transport the load between locations and discharge it from the tipping body. For many operators, this removes the need to arrange separate loading equipment at every site.

PALFINGER EPSILON cranes are developed for repetitive material-handling duties. The manufacturer produces specialist crane systems for construction, recycling and timber applications, where dependable operation, controlled movement and durable components are essential.

MV Commercial integrates the crane with a suitable chassis, subframe, body and attachment to create a complete vehicle. The specification can be shaped around the material being moved, the loading environment, required reach and legal carrying capacity.

EPSILON Tipper Grabs Available from MV Commercial

Our established PALFINGER EPSILON offering includes vehicles at two popular operating weights.

18-Tonne EPSILON Grab Lorries

An 18-tonne tipper grab offers a useful balance between carrying capacity and manoeuvrability. MV Commercial can supply these trucks with the PALFINGER EPSILON M105L crane, making them a practical option for work in towns, residential developments, utility sites and other locations where access may be limited.

Depending on the complete vehicle specification, these units can support the handling of soil, stone, sand, green waste and similar loose materials. Their compact dimensions also make them suitable for operators whose work involves frequent stops across multiple sites.

32-Tonne PALFINGER EPSILON M125L Tipper Grabs

Where the job calls for greater capacity, our 32-tonne 8x4 tipper grabs provide a heavier-duty solution. A typical MV build combines the PALFINGER EPSILON M125L with a Kinshofer 500-litre grab and a strong tipper body.

The M125L is an L-type construction loader crane designed for medium-duty material handling. PALFINGER lists a maximum outreach of 8.2 metres and a maximum lifting moment of 113 kNm for the current model. Available arm lengths, equipment and performance vary by configuration.

The elevated control position gives the operator a clear view into the body and surrounding work area. This can support accurate loading when working with bulk materials on construction sites, in yards or beside the highway.

Vehicle payload, lifting capacity and operating dimensions must always be confirmed against the specification of the individual truck.

Engineered for Repeated Loading Cycles

Tipper grab work places different demands on a crane from occasional general lifting. Operators may complete repeated loading and unloading movements throughout a shift, often in dust, dirt and changing weather.

PALFINGER identifies EPSILON construction cranes as S4 class under EN 12999. The range is designed for intensive use, rapid rotation and repeated cycles, making it well suited to daily grab work when the correct model has been selected for the application.

Other EPSILON design features can include:

  • EPSCOPE: A telescopic system with internally routed hydraulics to help protect components from external damage.
  • EPSLINK: A robust connection between the crane and rotator, developed for demanding grab applications.
  • Multiple control choices: Model-dependent options can include top-seat, stand-up and remote controls.
  • Purpose-designed boom systems: Selected models offer configurations intended to improve working geometry or create a compact transport position.
  • Service access: Maintenance-friendly design helps technicians inspect and service key components.

PALFINGER EPSILON Applications

An EPSILON crane can be configured for much more than one type of job. Common sectors and applications include:

  • Tipper grab and muckaway operations
  • Construction and demolition
  • Aggregate and bulk material delivery
  • Highway and road maintenance
  • Utilities and infrastructure projects
  • Scrap and recycling yards
  • Landscaping and green-waste handling
  • Timber transport and wood processing

The material, attachment, site conditions and expected working cycle should all influence crane selection. Our team can review how the vehicle will be used before recommending a suitable stock unit or build specification.

Why Operators Choose EPSILON Crane Trucks

One truck for several stages of the job

The combination of crane, grab and tipping body allows a single vehicle to collect, carry and discharge material. This flexibility can simplify scheduling and reduce dependence on plant supplied by another contractor.

Controlled grab operation

Precise hydraulic response helps the operator manage loose or irregular loads. Smooth movement is especially useful when working close to excavations, vehicles, buildings and roadside equipment.

Configurations for demanding industries

EPSILON offers construction and recycling cranes across its M and Q series. The M series covers medium-duty applications, while the Q series provides options for work requiring greater lifting performance. Crane choice should be based on the complete operational requirement rather than model size alone.

Chassis choice from an independent supplier

MV Commercial is not tied to a single truck manufacturer. We can match an EPSILON crane installation with a suitable DAF trucks, Volvo trucks or Scania chassis, subject to availability and the engineering requirements of the finished vehicle.

Ready to Go EPSILON Trucks

When a new contract starts or an existing vehicle is off the road, waiting for a complete factory build may not be practical. MV Commercial's Ready to Go programme includes specialist trucks that are built, in build or available for preparation.

Stock changes frequently and may include both new and used PALFINGER EPSILON tipper grabs. If the exact unit is not shown online, speak to our team. We may have a suitable truck entering preparation or a build slot available.

Flexible EPSILON Crane Truck Hire

Short-term and medium-term hire can help your fleet respond to a temporary increase in workload, seasonal demand, vehicle replacement or a new project. Longer agreements are also available for businesses that want predictable access to specialist equipment.

MV Commercial supports hired vehicles through its UK depot and service network. Tell us the truck weight, material, working environment and anticipated hire period, and we will identify the most appropriate available option.

PALFINGER EPSILON Trucks for Sale

We sell new and used crane trucks to operators across the UK. Available routes include outright purchase, lease and rent-to-buy, with funding support available through MV Asset Finance for eligible businesses.

Our finance team works with a broad panel of funders and can discuss a structure suited to your business and vehicle requirements. All finance is subject to status, approval and applicable terms.

Bespoke Crane Truck Design and Manufacture

Some jobs require more than an off-the-shelf vehicle. MV Commercial can manage a bespoke EPSILON crane truck project from specification and design through to fabrication, assembly and final preparation.

Work completed through our Grantham manufacturing operation can include:

  • Chassis preparation and engineering
  • Subframe and body manufacture
  • Crane mounting and hydraulic installation
  • Grab and attachment selection
  • Toolboxes and load storage
  • Lighting, cameras and safety systems
  • Paintwork and fleet livery
  • Testing and final vehicle preparation

Bringing these stages together gives our team control over the complete package and helps ensure that the crane, body and chassis are designed to perform as one working vehicle.

PALFINGER EPSILON FAQs

What is a PALFINGER EPSILON crane?

PALFINGER EPSILON produces loader cranes developed for construction, recycling, timber and other intensive material-handling applications. They can be fitted with grabs and other attachments according to the crane model and intended work.

Does MV Commercial hire PALFINGER EPSILON tipper grabs?

Yes. EPSILON tipper grabs are available through flexible short-term, medium-term and long-term hire, subject to fleet availability and approval.

Can I buy a used EPSILON crane truck?

Yes. MV Commercial regularly offers used as well as new PALFINGER EPSILON crane trucks. Every vehicle listing should be checked for its individual age, mileage, chassis, body, crane and equipment specification.

What is the difference between an 18-tonne and 32-tonne tipper grab?

An 18-tonne truck is generally more compact and easier to position in restricted locations. A 32-tonne 8x4 vehicle is intended for heavier work and typically offers greater carrying capacity. The right choice depends on access, payload, material and working pattern.

Which EPSILON crane is used on MV's 32-tonne tipper grabs?

MV Commercial commonly specifies the PALFINGER EPSILON M125L for its 32-tonne tipper grab builds. A typical combination also includes a Kinshofer 500-litre grab and a durable tipper body.

What reach does the EPSILON M125L provide?

PALFINGER lists a maximum outreach of up to 8.2 metres for the current M125L. Actual reach and lifting capacity depend on the chosen arm length, equipment and installation, so the load chart for the individual crane must be followed.

Can MV Commercial build an EPSILON truck to order?

Yes. Our teams can specify the chassis, crane, tipper body, grab, storage, safety equipment, paint and graphics to suit the intended application.
