The white goods industry is characterized by particular challenges, all linked to damage-free load handling. Because of their weight, dimension and considerable value, home appliances require particular handling practices, mainly linked to the application of the proper clamping pressure, which missuse can lead to considerable goods damage.

Bolzoni is active in the White Goods Industry providing a wide range of forklift truck attachments and a series of damage prevention tools, presenting technological solutions, able to implement functionalities and satisfy different handling applications.

With the aim to provide outstanding benefits to all operators in the white goods industry logistic chain, Bolzoni expands its range of damage-free handling tools and supply a new video tutorial on the best handling  practices.

Safe handling in few steps with Bolzoni

Working in close collaboration with white goods industry partners, Bolzoni is able to design new solutions to face all critical issues related to household appliances handling, through all handling cycles.

Today, Bolzoni launches a new video tutorial, dedicated to forklift truck operators and logistic managers, with the best practices on how to fully exploit their carton clamps, reducing damages and increasing operations efficiency.

The video tutorial shows how to safely handle washing machines and refrigerators in different load configurations.

Bolzoni’s main pillars: safety and efficiency

Bolzoni is committed in providing certified products and solutions to avoid possible goods damage and is offering a wide range of white goods handling equipment, including intelligent technologies, able to reduce human error.

"Working in direct contact with end users in logistic hubs, I get often approached by operators having difficulties to identify the right clamping pressure, combined to the right load configuration," says Vittorio Lucchini, Bolzoni Group White Goods Product Manager. "That’s the reason why Bolzoni invests in engineering and patenting new systems, in two main areas: fully automatic pressure control systems and user-friendly devices to select the load pattern."

To enable modern companies to speed up every phase of the working process, obtaining an incredible saving in time and costs, Bolzoni develops intelligent systems able to take autonomous handling decisions.

Bolzoni Intelligent Product range

"Among the Bolzoni Home Appliances Damage Prevention Systems, particularly appreciated and suitable for the white goods industry is Easy-FORCE-C, a force control system able to automatically set pressure parameters into the clamp," says Vittorio Lucchini. 

Thanks to a touch screen, the driver selects the load category, type and configuration and pressure parameters are automatically set into the clamp to generate the correct clamping force. "Moreover, the cloud connection enables fleet managers to access various handling data in remote, to check the proper functioning and to ensure the continuity of production, or to simply plan maintenance."

"Installing Bolzoni damage prevention systems, like Easy-Force-C, gives the possibility to Service Teams to have a clear view on possible anomalies,to apply corrective actions and to intervene even from great distances accessing the portal. No more time wasting on interventions, but real time access," adds Vittorio Lucchini.

Besides mechanical white goods handling solutions, Bolzoni’s product range includes technologically advanced solutions to automatically set clamping force. The Easy-MOVE Laser Sensors System brings up the most advanced technology in hydraulics, electronics and laser sensors.

The laser sensors and the electronic micro-control allow the system to detect the load and input the correct clamping pressure through a proportional pressure relief valve.
