Tailored to the unique challenges of cask handling, the new MEYER keg clamp helps streamline barrel logistics.
In the beverage supply chain, large-scale distribution demands efficient and reliable processes. Especially when it comes to the beer and spirits industry, preserving flavor, freshness, and quality is essential. The kegs, thanks to their robust design and airtight seal protect the product during transportation and storage, which is why these remain the preferred choice for breweries and distilleries worldwide.
Today, with the rising demand for spirits and craft beer, keg logistics has become a strategic priority for breweries and beverage distributors. Efficiency is essential to meet evolving market expectations.
To handle hundreds of kegs every day, often in confined spaces, it is highly recommended to equip the forklift with a dedicated attachment. And this is where safe, ergonomic, and highly efficient handling solutions truly make the difference.
Bolzoni Group, through its MEYER brand, has been a trusted partner in the beverage industry for decades, delivering innovative solutions for keg and barrel handling. Today, as the market evolves, Bolzoni Group stays at the forefront with advanced technologies designed to meet these new demands.
The new MEYER keg clamp is a perfect example: engineered for high-volume operations, combining reliability, speed, and safety to keep the beer flowing from brewery to pubs.
Reinventing keg handling for modern breweries
Engineered to handle multiple kegs simultaneously, it reduces manual labor, speeds up workflows, and eliminates bottlenecks in high-volume operations.
From production lines to cold storage and loading docks, operators handle heavy barrels every day.
“Traditional methods such as single-keg handling or improvised solutions, often slow operations and increase the risk of injury,” says David Brid, Managing Director at Bolzoni Ltd in the UK. “The need for a dedicated, efficient, and safe solution has never been greater.”
Bolzoni group’s heritage of innovation ensures that businesses investing in the MEYER keg clamp receive a solution backed by proven performance and expert support.
Designed for simplicity, durability, and reliability, the MEYER keg clamp meets core operational needs while improving efficiency.
The MEYER Keg clamp: designed for efficiency
The MEYER Keg Clamp is designed for breweries, beverage distributors, and logistics providers managing keg inventories.
For breweries and logistics providers seeking to improve drums handling efficiency, the MEYER Keg Clamp offers a practical and tested solution.
The MEYER Keg Clamp is engineered to handle multiple beer kegs simultaneously, reducing handling time and improving workflow efficiency. This forklift truck attachment addresses the bottlenecks breweries face when dealing with high-volume keg movements, reducing manual labor and streamlining workflows.
The load stabilizer holds in place the kegs, granting safety and visibility to the driver.
Key Technical Features:
- Multi-keg handling: securely grips several kegs at once, boosting throughput.
- Heavy-duty design: built to withstand the rigors of brewery environments.
- Forklift compatibility: fits standard forklift models for easy integration.
- Operator-friendly: simplifies loading and unloading, reducing strain and risk.
- Optimum visibility: just one upper and lower profile for guiding system for improved visibility through and over the chassis.
“Our goal is to provide a solution that simplifies keg handling without compromising safety or efficiency. Trials at major breweries confirmed that the Meyer Keg Clamp delivers exactly that, enabling faster handling cycles, reducing the need for manual lifting, and significantly improving operator ergonomics throughout the process,” says David Bird.
MEYER presents the new improved model KS-BK keg clamp, dedicated to the secure handling of beer drums.
Designed for fast and cost-effective maintenance
The Meyer Keg Clamp is built with serviceability in mind, ensuring minimal downtime and reduced maintenance costs. Its open-profile design provides easy access to all greasing points, allowing quick lubrication for optimal performance and extended component life. Hard-wearing synthetic inlays with self-lubricating properties, combined with heavy-duty upper plastic and lower gunmetal wear parts, guarantee durability even under intensive use. Additionally, the load stabilizer is equipped with robust rubber pads, further enhancing reliability and reducing wear. This thoughtful engineering approach makes routine maintenance straightforward, helping operators maintain peak efficiency while keeping total cost of ownership low.
