What will be the future for aerial platforms?
because they are cobalt free, have high performance and low weight and can be recharged quickly even indoors.
In fact, the level of autonomy allows operators to work for an entire day without having to worry about recharging.
Since there is still a “limit” in our country, as well as in many others, due to the lack of infrastructure, we’re moving to make sure that our machines can be recharged everywhere. Currently, Palazzani Spiders can be charged at electric car charging posts, through an installed Type 2 outlet, either at domestic or industrial 230 and 400 V currents, thanks to an adapter that can be supplied with our machines.
It is now clear that climate change is an issue on the agenda and it’s affecting more and more industries and people. An increasing number of manufacturers are going hybrid or fully electric, to contain this problem.
In Italy, the market demand for these new motorizations is still weak due to the high costs but, above all, to the widespread mistrust about performances among end users from the point of view of the performance and
autonomy of electric cars. We, as a manufacturer of Aerial Platforms for over 35 years, always aim for quality, safety and technological performance. We focus on real customer’s need, taking care of the environment.
We work to offer up-to-date products without waiting for market demand to grow, so we have created eco-friendly solutions for the motorizations of Palazzani Spiders such as Hybrid (Diesel+Battery) and ECO (Battery+AC).
These power options allow both indoor and outdoor operation; silence is one of the main benefits, and the vibrations emitted by the ECO option are close to zero.
The performance of our Spiders in full electric ”ECO” version remains the same as powered by the diesel engine, offering two operating modes according to the use.
The "speed" mode is suggested to fulfil quick jobs: it makes full use of the battery power for higher performance; on the contrary, the “long range” mode is for longduration jobs since it allows to reduce consumption and preserves battery life.
The batteries used are LIFEPO4 lithium, which are safe (thanks to the J1772 protocol) and eco-friendly
We are always looking for strategies and technologies to safeguard our planet. The latest green solutions we have adopted are the latest generation photovoltaic system that provides us with a high level of energy autonomy, hybrid company cars, and the expansion of motorizations for our Spider Lifts in eco and hybrid versions.
In order for us to make a real impact at the environmental level, we need to start taking action at all levels, starting even with the small things, and that’s what we are doing!
A new ragno for Michelangelo
Michelangelo is a Company that has been operating in the Aerial Platform and Truckmounted cranes rental business in the province of Prato (Tuscany) for over forty years.
The main objective of the Tuscan company is to offer customers a specialized service and a fleet of machines that are always on the cutting edge.
The main activities in which the machines are involved are in construction and Sheet Metal works, through rental with operator of aerial platforms and mobile cranes.
Michelangelo is always keeping up with the times in order to meet new customer needs by providing precise, timely and professional
service.
The aim is to keep up to date with up-to-date machinery in technology, work safety and respect for the environment.
For this reason, in 2020 the Company decided to expand its fleet with other technologically advanced and Italian-quality products branded Palazzani.
Initially, a Ragno XTJ 37+ and an XTJ 52+ tracked version were purchased.
The Spiders began operating right away in the Tuscan territory with excellent feedback because unlike all other machines, the Spiders can be placed anywhere and on any terrain and allow work in any condition.
One of the noteworthy jobs, as Board President Michele Longo says, was carried out at the marble quarry in Carrara with the Ragno XTJ 52+ "The operation consisted of installing guardrails and protection on a quarry wall. It was a tough and painstaking job, and without the help of the Ragno we would definitely have been in big trouble."
This is because the Ragno XTJ 52+ offers an exceptional working diagram, quick and precise movements at any height. The area manager system adjusts outreach
automatically, depending on stabilization and load (120/230/400 kg), always allowing 660° rotation, making it extremely easy to use.
Following the continuous rental requests of Palazzani Spiders and the positive feedback from users, Michelangelo decided to renew its trust in Palazzani by purchasing a recently delivered XTJ 43+.
The Ragno XTJ 43+ is a narrow and compact aerial platform, both in movement and in placing and operates with simple and direct movements, without rear encumbrances. Positioning is automatic and 2 positions are available for each outrigger. Turret rotation of 660° is possible with any placement.
As Michele Longo states, "We trusted Palazzani Industrie recognizing their superior product quality and the reliability of their service.
From our side, we thank Michelangelo for their renewed trust in our Company. If you are a rental company too looking for the right solution for you, do not hesitate to contact our Staff.
