A complete forestry transport unit has been delivered to UPTO Benšak, designed and manufactured in the PK production facility. The truck is equipped with a Palfinger Epsilon M110Z79 crane with a reach of 7.9 meters and a floorless forestry platform measuring 5600 mm in length. The unit also includes a PSM 180 forestry trailer with a gross weight of 18 tons and a loading platform 7000 mm in length. The truck-mounted upgrade is installed on a Scania R 450 B6x4HB chassis.

The Palfinger Epsilon M110Z79 crane features a high-seat operator station with manual controls. Like all Epsilon models, it includes internally routed hydraulic hoses, cylinder protection on both main and auxiliary cylinders, and a corrosion-resistant KTL coating for long-lasting durability. The crane is equipped with an Epsilon FG53 grapple, with a volume of 0.50 m³ and a lifting capacity of 5000 kg.

The forestry platform, designed and manufactured at PK’s production facility, is made of high-strength steel. The auxiliary chassis, as the most critical component of the truck’s superstructure, is constructed from 6 mm thick steel, offering both high durability and lightweight properties, ultimately increasing the useful payload. The platform is equipped with ExTe D10 telescopic aluminum stakes with steel beams.

Benšak, a service, transport and trade company, is one of the largest transport companies in Croatia. Today, they have over 50 trucks for the transport and manipulation of logs, and they perform their activities reliably and efficiently and are one of the leaders in this business in the region. They regularly renew their machinery with PK forestry upgrades with Palfinger Epsilon cranes.
