For us, that means less talking and more listening. For me personally, in my job, that means being as close to the customers as possible. That means visiting them, talking to them directly, and doing it while they are doing their job. In this way, we learn directly from the customer what equipment they want and what equipment they need. And that is exactly what we have done for the customers with the new GENERATION 3: Reliability, durability, customer benefit and something that is certainly pleasing to the eye.     <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>Stefan is the development manager for the new GENERATION 3 in EPSILON.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Now we&#8217;ve heard a lot about experience, but how does technology come into play?

Combined with our strength \u2013 experience with steel constructions \u2013 GENERATION 3 was born: Stronger, faster, with more reach and all this without changing the weight. New technologies were also used in the hydraulics. When designing, we relied on feedback from our test drivers. Also, numerous sensors now record data. Here our motto remains the same: If something works, then we will accept it.       <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;12&#8243; gap=&#8221;35&#8243; item=&#8221;masonryMedia_Default&#8221; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1658322371222-5b391b5a-654b-7&#8243; include=&#8221;14413,14411,14412&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14507&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-right\" style=\"text-align: right;\">HIGHLIGHTS<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-right\" style=\"text-align: right;\">new GENERATION 3<\/h4>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Longest reach<\/strong> in its class \u2013 up to 10.9 m<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>COMFORT DRIVE<\/strong> \u2013 New control system that includes 360\u00b0 lighting<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Central lubrication options<\/strong> : Automatic and manual<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>SMART CONTROL<\/strong> system: option for electric cabin<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>New options for stabilizers<\/strong> \u2013 support a width of up to 5.4 meters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>THE GREATEST REACH IN ITS CLASS<\/h2>\n<h4>up to 10.9 meters<\/h4>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>With a reach of almost 11 meters, GENERATION 3 once again offers the longest reach in its class. A significantly larger working arc and a reduced number of steps required to move the truck make work much more efficient. With the goal of building a stronger crane without adding weight, we have completely redeveloped and extensively optimized the steel structure of the new GENERATION 3. Thanks to this, the expression &#8220;long, longer, longest&#8221; refers to both the reach and the service life of our cranes.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14508&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14516&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-right\">COMFORT DRIVE<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-right\">Includes a new 360\u00b0 lighting system<\/h4>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>The crane operators are at the heart of our business.

The Grammer seat provides a feeling of perfect comfort. Due to the hydraulic control system, the crane controls are highly sensitive and very precise. The new remote control options offer a firm grip in every situation.     <\/p>\n<p>If the days are too short for long tasks, <strong>the new 360\u00b0 lighting system turns night into day<\/strong> to create optimal working conditions.

When designing the crane, we took into account the locations of the SMART CONTROL sensors and fully integrated them into the overall system. SMART CONTROL sensors allow managers to fully focus on log manipulation, reducing work effort and time needed to train new managers. Raising the bar for practicality and safety, SMART CONTROL is initially available for L and Z cranes with the TEC CAB control system and for generation 3 models with double telescope.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14525&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row title=&#8221;Vi\u0161e detalja o proizvodu&#8221; style=&#8221;modern&#8221; gradient_color_1=&#8221;turquoise&#8221; gradient_color_2=&#8221;blue&#8221; gradient_custom_color_1=&#8221;#dd3333&#8243; gradient_custom_color_2=&#8221;#eeee22&#8243; gradient_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#ededed&#8221; custom_text=&#8221;#666666&#8243; outline_custom_color=&#8221;#666666&#8243; outline_custom_hover_background=&#8221;#666666&#8243; outline_custom_hover_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; color=&#8221;danger&#8221; size=&#8221;md&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; button_block=&#8221;&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; i_align=&#8221;left&#8221; i_type=&#8221;fontawesome&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-angle-double-right&#8221; i_icon_openiconic=&#8221;vc-oi vc-oi-dial&#8221; i_icon_typicons=&#8221;typcn typcn-adjust-brightness&#8221; i_icon_entypo=&#8221;entypo-icon entypo-icon-note&#8221; i_icon_linecons=&#8221;vc_li vc_li-heart&#8221; i_icon_monosocial=&#8221;vc-mono vc-mono-fivehundredpx&#8221; i_icon_material=&#8221;vc-material vc-material-cake&#8221; i_icon_pixelicons=&#8221;vc_pixel_icon vc_pixel_icon-alert&#8221; custom_onclick=&#8221;&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.huppenkothen.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2FTB216_Prospekt_2021_10_UK.pdf|target:_blank&#8221; custom_onclick_code=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14524&#8243; img_size=&#8221;FULL&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;ftp:\/\/pk.croislands.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/PDF\/brosura-generacija-3.pdf&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;MORE INFORMATION&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; color=&#8221;danger&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-angle-double-right&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:ftp%3A%2F%2Fpk.croislands.com%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2FPDF%2Fbrosura-generacija-3.pdf|target:_blank|&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We listened carefully to our customers when developing the new generation of cranes.
