PALFINGER EPSILON brings the M13A to Chile - Successful market entry in the province of Araucanía

The project to introduce the M13A80 in Chile began back in 2020, and the first units were delivered to the region the following year. Since then, more than 20 units already populate Chile’s landscape, and the demand continues to grow. One of the five countries with the highest gross domestic product in South America, Chile is increasingly relying on advanced and high-quality machines.

The M13A is specially designed to transport timber from steep and hard-to-reach forest areas to sawmills in industrial centers. With its high speed, endless slewing system, comfort seat, and the ability to perform many loading cycles per day, the M13A helps to increase efficiency and thus the profitability of timber transporters. In recent field visits operations were confirmed to be running smoothly, and the cranes have proven themselves in Chile's demanding environment.

With the successful launch of the M13A in Chile, PALFINGER EPSILON continues to increase its market share. By introducing customized crane models to new and challenging markets, we continue our path of delivering innovative and reliable solutions to the global timber industry.

Special thanks go to our Chilean partner SIMMA, who has worked hard to establish the M13A on the market. SIMMA not only offers excellent technical support, but also a state-of-the-art service that ensures our customers are always well looked after.
