A very important Italian organization founded in 1966 that actually manages and coordinates companies located throughout Europe and the United States. In Italy it is known to be the owner of the Regina brand.

Thanks to the long experience in the paper and recycling field, Raniero offers a products line that combines top performance with maximum reliability, long operating autonomy and compact dimensions for narrow aisles.

Raniero, thanks to its skills on the forklifts customization developed over the years in the paper field, has managed to meet the specific productive needs of the Sofidel Group through the realization of the AC140-6-CO 120V: a forklift with nominal capacity of 14000kg at 600 mm load centre.

• With compact dimension of only l2= 4100 mm long able to work in narrow corridors.
• Developed for handling paper rolls of 5000kg with 3000 mm of diameter by a wide paper clamp.
• Long working autonomy in two daily shifts – up to 16 working hours – thanks to the battery easily replaceable of 120V – 2064Ah.
• Assistance in real time through monitoring, diagnostics, analysis and maintenance in remote mode.
• Comfort for operator, safety working conditions: cabin with 360° view, comfortable seat Grammer, easy access, electro hydraulic distributor with mini fingers and horn integrated in the armrest, rear infrared camera 172° open view.

Since the beginning, Sofidel Group is committed to a responsible management of its company considering sustainability as a fundamental theme. From the procurement of the raw materials to paper production, each activity aims to respect the environment. It uses a production system with reduced environmental impact and undertakes important collaborations with known institutions and organizations, such as the WWF.

Sofidel has chosen Raniero electric forklifts that represents the optimal solution for an eco-sustainable management, thanks to the reduction of energy consumptions and environmental impact: zero emissions, low noise levels, reduced vibrations.

Our proposed solution is based on the use of two 120V 1720Ah batteries each, supported by an advanced liquid cooling system for both the traction motor and the inverters. This configuration enables extraordinary levels of operational uptime.

Thanks to energy-saving optimization during any period of inactivity, the machine guarantees between 19 and 21 hours of effective operation with just a single battery change. Furthermore, operational continuity is ensured by a quick-change device, which allows the battery to be replaced in only 6-8 minutes using a second forklift.

Technical Highlights:

• Capacity: 16t @ 600 mm load center.
• Endurance: 19–21 hours of pure operating time.
• Efficiency: Liquid-cooled motors and inverters for heavy-duty performance.
• Speed: Battery swap completed in under 8 minutes.

These forklifts operate intensively across two daily shifts, totaling approximately ten hours of operational time per day.

Technical Configuration & Innovation

The AC160-6 (16t): Configured with a 120V system to deliver high performance and extended battery life. This model features the brand-new “Magnifica” premium cabin, which perfectly combines cutting-edge design, wide-angle visibility, and superior operator comfort.

The AC100-6 (10t): These two units were designed with a 96V configuration, specifically engineered to cover a full operational shift on a single charge.

A Sustainable and Cost-Effective Choice

The transition to electric power was driven by the end customer’s commitment to “greening” their facilities and significantly reducing operational costs:

• 60% reduction in energy costs.
• 70% reduction in routine maintenance costs.
