Material Handling Equipments

Paper Roll Clamps

Forest products, and paper rolls in particular, are one of the main cargo groups requiring specialized lift truck attachments. Paper rolls are heavy, prone to damage, difficult to handle and have a considerable unit value. The transport chain of the rolls is often long, requiring as many as 16 handling stages before the paper roll is in the printing machine.

This makes it essential to use well-chosen, well-maintained equipment. All paper rolls are not equal – neither are the tools to handle them. Paper rolls are manufactured in a great variety of diameters, widths and weights. Varying printing processes and paper grades set different requirements to the physical dimensions of the paper rolls.

Pulp Bale- and Waste Paper Bale Clamps

Pulp bale clamps are normally designed to carry 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 pulp bale units at a time. Sometimes the same clamps are also used to handle single bales and non-unitized bale sets. When selecting the attachment to handle pulp bales, pay special attention to how, and with which bale unit combinations the handling will happen.

Recovered paper (waste paper) is collected from the consumers, then compressed (often in local collection facilities) into bales and transported to the pulp factory. Waste paper bale handling is generally harsher than any other bale handling operation, and attachments often need increased protection against wear and tear, and all moving and hydraulic components must be well protected against hitting and dropping objects.

Sideshifters and Fork Positioners

The main application of the fork positioner is the handling of pallets having different dimensions. The possibility of changing the centre to centre distance, fulfils different specific needs of practically all the types of industry and this type of attachment is then getting more and more requested.

The possibility of shifting the forks represents a great step ahead in terms of safety and time saving. In facts, in many countries the limit of weights that can be manually handled is so low that a fork cannot be lifted and shifted without overtaking this limit. This is specially true for big forklift trucks, equipped with heavy and long forks. The time saving offered by the fork positioner by eliminating all idle times, make possible to optimise the handling cycle of the pallets by quicker and safer operation.

Multi Pallet Handlers

Multiple Pallet Handler are being used in all industries characterized by heavy handling of palletized loads and in particular in soft drink industries, breweries, mineral water bottling plants, brick industries.

The Meyer multiple pallet handlers can dramatically reduce handling time, increasing the productivity and reducing costs during storage or loading and unloading of vehicles.

Parallel Clamps

Parallel clamps are commonly used to handle: recycled paper, compressed cellulose pulp, soft cellulose pulp, fibres, textiles, recycled plastics, foam rubber blocks, boxes, tobacco, rubber, used clothes. All Bolzoni Auramo parallel clamps are based on the clamp body, that can be equipped with a wide range of arms to solve a variety of handling requirements.

Home Appliance and Carton Clamps

The most common application fields of carton clamps are household appliances – such as washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens as well as televisions and many other non-palletised home appliance devices with or without outer packaging.

From the production plants to the final user, the carton clamps increase both process stability and productivity by safe and simultaneous handling of a large number of products and ensure damage-free handling of sensitive goods by optimal adjusted clamp forces.

Push Pulls

The push pulls are specifically designed to handle goods with slipsheets instead of wooden pallets, and are used in various industries such as food, beverage, glassware, building material, agricultural, paper, chemical and the automotive parts industry.

The range includes the Dedicated Push Pull, for customers using exclusively slipsheeted loads and the Fork-Mounted Easy Rider Push Pull. Thanks to an extremely quick and effective new fitting system, the “EASY RIDER” offers the possibility to convert a conventional fork lift truck with forks into a specially equipped machine to handle loads on slip sheets. Increasing productivity without any compromise for safety. The Bolzoni Auramo proposal is completed by the Mark 55 Push Pull, specifically developed to suit the needs of the American market and suitable for handling both slipsheeted loads and pallets.

Rotators

TThe rotator is suitable for all applications where the working cycles require load rotation or emptying of containers, such as in metallurgical, chemical, automotive, recycling, waste disposal and in food processing operations. A wide range of capacities ensures that the correct unit is specified and is cost-effective for every application.

Specialized Products

The Bolzoni Auramo Reach Forks provide an effective time-saving and space optimisation solution to all companies operating in logistics centers, food and beverage industries, manufacturing industries, cold stores, storage of goods on multiple pallets and in transport of goods in general.

Thanks to the reach forks, trucks and trains can be loaded and unloaded from one side, reducing turnaround space with increase of storage space, saving in time, saving in fuel/battery consumption, manoeuvring reduction with safety improvement. Furthermore, reach forks increase the storage volume, because these can stack in double-deep.

Forks

Forks are the basic attachment, which is actually standard fitted on new supplied forklift trucks. Forks have to be checked regularly to ensure the heel wear is not more than 10% of the original thickness of the fork as per ISO 5057. If the fork heel wear is more than 10%, the fork must be replaced or rerated.

The best way to inspect forks is to use a fork caliper. Ask your Bolzoni Auramo representative for a Bolzoni fork caliper! Bolzoni Auramo forks are fitted at the OEM premises and are suitable for after-market specialists too.

Pulp Bale- and Waste Paper Bale Clamps

To improve efficiency and productivity? Yes, it is possible. To provide ergonomic conditions and to ensure health, comfort and safety to the operator is paramount for Bolzoni Auramo. Main application fields are:

The lift table can give a boost to your productivity, because it solves small logistic motions inside the working processes. Think about it.
