Kent, I thought that as well. We usually see (a lot of) Palfinger and others used as unloading palletised loads or long timber and truss loads. They always unfold in 3 sections, but never up and out like that. A search for Epsilon came up with they being connected with Palfinger, and this sort of crane is in their 'recycling and recovery' category...and to think that when I emigrated to AUS in 87 and scored an asst mgr job at a Sydney 10 store home centre chain (before the big boxes here), and tried to convert them to using rollers on flat beds to deliver strapped units of timber to deaf ears...'mate, we just bar it off...' was the response...meaning, they built the packs taller than wide and used a 6' bar to lever the pack to the edge of the tray, and...bar it off...with resultant damage a shrug of the shoulders...she'll be right, mate...cheers
Jim in a perfect Sth Coast new Autumn day...
