Redesigned for maximum efficiency: the new generation AURAMO AR-C paper roll clamps.
In high-volume paper logistics, whether in mills, ports, warehouses, converting plants, or large distribution hubs, even minor inefficiencies can quickly escalate into costly downtime, material waste, and production delays. Handling heavy and delicate paper rolls requires absolute precision, as inadequate clamping force or unsuitable contact surfaces can easily lead to telescoping, core damage, or deformation, compromising both product integrity and operational flow.
To support customers facing these challenges, Bolzoni Group provides a comprehensive range of paper roll clamps and dedicated contact pad solutions engineered for damage-free performance across the entire supply chain.
At the center of this evolution stands the renewed AR-C Series Paper Roll Clamp, delivering enhanced precision, strength, and ease of use for demanding paper-handling environments.
AR-C series: fully renewed design for greater efficiency and reliability
Developed in Finland, the AR-C Series is engineered to maximize throughput without compromising the integrity of the load.
The AURAMO AR-C series is the ultimate answer to the growing complexity of paper roll logistics. Whether operating in a high-throughput port or a precision-focused converting plant, the AR-C clamp offers the flexibility and reliability needed to keep operations running smoothly.
Available in multiple arm sizes, the AR-C clamp is engineered for high-capacity operations, combining robustness, precision, and operator comfort.
“The AR-C clamp is the result of years of field testing and customer feedback,” says Jari Nygrén, Bolzoni’s Forest Product Manager. “We’ve further improved every detail from the arm geometry to the hydraulic layout to deliver a tool that truly supports modern paper handling challenges.”
The combination of fast, quiet rotation and slim profiles ensures smooth operation in confined spaces, from containers to rail wagons.
The AR-C Series features a completely re-engineered 180-degree rotation unit designed for speed, stability, and reduced structural stress. The system offers precise vertical end positions with hydraulic end-cushioning, minimizing shocks transmitted to both the clamp and the lift truck. New symmetrical contact pads ensure improved clamping force distribution and consistent grip, while the redesigned compact hydraulic connection points simplify installation and enhance compatibility with a broad range of lift truck specifications. Built on a modular architecture, the AR-C Series supports short and long arm configurations, as well as the optional split long arm layout for handling one or two rolls simultaneously.
Enhanced visibility, precise arm control, and a wide selection of contact pad types (cast, rubber-faced, polyurethane, steel-sprayed) support safe handling of all paper grades, including sensitive, coated, or recycled varieties.
These renewed AR C Series Paper Roll Clamps translate into higher productivity, reduced operator effort, and consistently high handling quality.
Ready for the future: electronic options for smarter handling
To support evolving customer needs, the AR-C Series offers the optional electronics ready kit, which incorporates power and signal routing through the rotation unit. This makes it possible to equip the clamp with a wide range of advanced electronic features, such as independent arm control for short and long arms, integrated working lights, and a 90-degree rotation stop. These intelligent add-ons enhance handling accuracy, improve ergonomics, and make the AR-C Series fully compatible with automated environments, including AGVs, where AURAMO products are trusted solution for decades.
Bolzoni Group’s commitment to reach paper handling excellence
The AR-C clamp reflects Bolzoni Group’s broader commitment to efficient forest product handling, as Product Manager Jari Nygrén says: “We don’t just build paper roll clamps, we build solutions, shaped by real-world experience and continuous dialogue with our customers.”
Building on this approach, Bolzoni Group continues to expand its portfolio with advanced technologies designed to further enhance paper roll protection and operational efficiency. One of the most recent additions is the AURAMO HTX system.
AURAMO HTX – advanced solutions for reliable and damage-free paper handling
To reduce the risk of paper roll damage and out-of-roundness, Bolzoni Group’s has developed a wide range of targeted solutions, each designed to address the specific challenges customers may encounter in their daily operations. Among these innovations, the AURAMO HTX system represents one of the latest technologies engineered for damage-free paper handling.
HTX - Automatic Clamping Pressure Control System
Its intelligent electronic control system automatically fine-tunes the settings to match the actual weight of the load, enhancing safety, accuracy, and overall operational efficiency.
Developed for paper roll manufacturers, transport companies, 3PL providers, and port operators, HTX offers lift truck drivers a clear and intuitive way to manage paper rolls across a variety of applications.
