30t electric forklifts serving Tata Steel in Wales


Tata Steel has chosen to replace its 23t Paus gas trucks with four 30t electric trucks

What rewarded Raniero was our ability to offer a compact electric forklift truck that, despite having a greater capacity, has the same dimensions to operate in tight manoeuvring spaces.

Tata is one of India's largest industrial groups with a long industrial history in a wide range of manufacturing sectors. The group consists of 93 companies in seven business sectors employing approximately 220,000 people. Approximately 65 percent of the group\'s ownership is controlled by the Tata Foundation.

For one of their steel mills in Wales, in collaboration with our UK distributor Red Diamond Distribution Ltd. we delivered 4 electric forklifts in 120V with 30 ton capacity. Each truck was developed based on the following requirements. To handle steel coils weighing between 25,000 and 30,000 kg each with different centers of gravity, to travel along narrow aisles and to be available for loading production lines throughout the day. The trucks delivered replaced Paus LPG ones. Our versatility was the ability to design a 30t truck with the same dimensions as the 23t Paus model. A width of 2200 mm, a length of 4530 mm and a large turning radius.

Our delivered machines have side shifter, a 1100 mm boom to lift coils up to 1600 mm deep, 1 battery of 120V 1860Ah which guarantees an autonomy of 6 hours of effective work. The position of the high seat, the external mast cylinders, the presence of working lights, blue spot light and rear video camera guarantee greater safety to the operator during the various phases of loading and unloading.

At Raniero we are the only ones able to guarantee a complete range of electric forklifts from 5 to 33 tons. Forklifts that can be configured according to your operational needs in terms of performance, required autonomy - short or multi-shift -, dimensional limits, types of loads to be handled and equipment to be used.
