As manufacturers continue to optimize their operations, material handling equipment plays an increasingly strategic role throughout the tissue supply chain: as behind every tissue roll lies the critical challenge to handle a delicate product without compromising quality, productivity, or safety.

At MIAC 2026, Bolzoni Group will present a range of solutions developed specifically to meet these challenges.

With decades of experience in the paper and forest products industries, Bolzoni Group will participate in MIAC 2026, the leading international exhibition dedicated to the tissue sector, taking place in Lucca, Italy, one of the world's most important hubs for paper production. Through close collaboration with leading paper producers, the company has developed extensive expertise in paper handling applications, from delicate tissue rolls requiring precise clamping to recycled paper bales handled in demanding logistics environments. This experience has led to solutions that combine productivity, product protection, and reliability.

From 7 to 9 October at Stand #A1, visitors will have the opportunity to discover specialized solutions designed to support tissue manufacturers, converters, logistics operators, and recycling facilities in their daily operations.

Meeting the challenges of modern tissue handling: AURAMO AR-RT paper roll clamp

Among the highlights at MIAC 2026 is the AURAMO AR-RT tissue paper roll clamp, designed for large-diameter, low-density tissue rolls. The attachment combines precise clamping force, optimized visibility, and fast, accurate 180-degree rotation, helping operators to safely handle even the most delicate rolls while maintaining productivity in demanding environments. 

A key element of the AR-RT design is its dedicated contact pads offer, developed to maximize grip while minimizing surface pressure. Available in different configurations to suit specific applications, the pads significantly contribute to reducing product damage and maintaining roll quality throughout the handling process.

BOLZONI reach forks to support efficient tissue logistics

While tissue rolls are typically handled using dedicated paper roll clamps, efficient pallet handling is equally important throughout the logistics chain. BOLZONI reach forks support tissue manufacturers in the storage and handling of finished products, packaging materials and other palletized goods. As tissue products are lightweight yet highly volumetric, maximizing warehouse capacity is a constant challenge. Reach forks help optimize storage density through double-deep racking solutions, while also improving loading and unloading efficiency. In increasingly automated facilities, they can be integrated with AGVs and automated storage systems, enabling reliable pallet handling and supporting higher throughput, better space utilization and more efficient warehouse operations.

Supporting sustainability and recycling operations: the BOLZONI Silver Line LC-G bale clamp

As sustainability and material recovery continue to play a central role in the paper industry, reliable equipment is essential for handling recycled paper and pulp bales efficiently and safely.

At MIAC 2026, Bolzoni Group will showcase the Silver Line LC-G bale clamp, part of the Silver Line range, designed to provide robust and reliable performance in demanding applications while reducing total cost of ownership.

Built around the principles of durability, simplicity, and ease of maintenance, the LC-G is particularly suitable for intensive environments such as paper mills, recycling facilities, and logistics centers. Featuring well-protected components, high-strength aluminum arms, and wear-resistant contact surfaces, it withstands harsh operating conditions while ensuring safe and efficient handling of paper and pulp bales. Its durable design helps minimize maintenance requirements and maximize uptime, making it a cost-effective solution for day-to-day operations.

Ergonomics and versatility with BOLZONI lift table model 1E-Rot

Beyond forklift attachments, Bolzoni Group continues to support the industry with solutions aimed at improving workplace ergonomics and operational efficiency.

Visitors to MIAC 2026 will also discover the BOLZONI 1E-Rot lift table, a versatile lifting solution designed to simplify load positioning, rotation, and handling activities within production and packaging environments.

Featuring a 360° manual circular turn table with integrated locking system, and compact design, the 1E-Rot helps operators to work more comfortably and safely while reducing unnecessary movements and improving process efficiency. Whether integrated into production lines or used in warehouse operations, the lift table contributes to creating a more ergonomic workplace.
