Ardagh Group: the new series of narrow side forklifts for recyclable packaging world leader


Ardagh group is a global company specialized in the development and production of recyclable packaging solutions in metal and glass for the most important international brands in the beverage, food and non-food sectors. Within a project, Raniero has signed an agreement to supply trucks from 12 tons to 16 tons compact in width and length for the handling of aluminium coils for some of its production branches around the world.

Ardagh Group has more than 100 manufacturing units of metal and glass processing in 23 countries on all 5 continents. It focus on developing recyclable products. Attention to environmental issues is a fixed point of its industrial policy.

For this reason, Ardagh Group is replacing its combustion forklifts with electric ones. Due to production reasons and limited storage spaces for steel and aluminium coils, it has requested that forklifts need to be high lifting capacity but narrow on its sides.

The project has been developed as follows: we have analysed the manoeuvre spaces. Operating times and how to use the forklifts in each individual production facility.

Thanks to this project, we at Raniero have developed a new line of trucks suitable for use. Narrow Width Series: a line of forklifts from 10t to 18t with 770mm and 1050mm load centers. 1800 mm wide only and with lengths without forks ranging from 3600 mm to the largest size of 4200 mm.

Forklifts with double battery 96V 1395Ah quickly interchangeable to make each machine perform and available throughout the day. With Waterless system in order to reduce control and maintenance activities.

HT - Tilting system above the roof and well-reinforced mast to give maximum stability when handling steel coils during loading / unloading from trucks, loading of production lines and storage in pre-cutting warehouses.
