The beverage industry is one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving sectors globally, driven by changing consumer preferences and seasonal peaks. Efficient pallet handling is crucial to meet the demands of this industry, ensuring quick and safe loading and unloading processes. Bolzoni Group, whit its brand Meyer, a pioneer in multi-pallet handling, offers innovative solutions designed to enhance productivity, reduce operational costs, and support sustainable practices. From handling standard pallets to managing complex loading scenarios, MEYER’s pallet handlers are tailored to meet the various needs of the beverage industry.
The shaft guide concept – for standard pallet handling
Efficient pallet handling is essential for operational success in the beverage industry. MEYER, a leading name in the field, has introduced the Shaft Guide Concept to ensure precise and safe pallet movement. This fully encapsulated system extends maintenance intervals, thereby reducing lifecycle costs and boosting productivity. The guide system, equipped with hard-chromed shafts and high-performance bushings, allows for up to 1,000 working hours between lubrication intervals.
The profile guide system – flexible fork spread
For handling non-standard and special pallets, MEYER offers the Profile Guide System. This robust design allows a wide range of fork openings, adapting to any type of palletized load. The system features self-lubricating and wear-resistant plastic inserts, ensuring long-lasting performance and optimal efficiency. The Profile Guide System is ideal for managing heavy loads and various pallet sizes.
Optimizing pallet handling for the beverage industry: automated lubrication system
MEYER’s patented Automated Lubrication System is a key component for reducing maintenance requirements and enhancing equipment performance. This system adjusts lubrication based on usage conditions, preventing damage and wear to mechanical parts. Automated lubrication extends maintenance intervals, aligning with those of forklift trucks. This system minimizes lifecycle costs and helps avoid damage due to insufficient or excessive lubrication.
A full range of MEYER multi pallet handlers for efficient logistics
When it comes to pallet handling, MEYER provides a complete range of solutions to meet all beverage industry needs. From the standard 2 or 1 multi pallet handler to advanced models capable of handling up to 8 pallets at a time MEYER ensures high productivity and profitability.
The single/double pallet handler model 6-52 enhances productivity and reduces handling costs during storage or vehicle loading and unloading by allowing more loads to be handled in less time. Superior visibility and clear fork tips enable fast, safe, and damage-free operations. High-quality components and easy replacement of wear parts reduce service costs. Interchangeable bolt-on forks with reinforced heels ensure longer life. The load backrest and synchronized fork movement prevent shakes and vibrations, essential for handling empty bottles on pallets.
Developed in close cooperation with the global Beverage Industry, the 3/2/1 Pallet Handler (Model 321 PA) meets high efficiency and flexibility demands in loading scenarios. The synchronized fork movement and fast speeds ensure safe handling of 1, 2, or 3 pallets. This model combines the Shaft Guide Concept with a torsion-resistant steel Profile System for robustness and optimal visibility.
For heavy load handling, the 4/2 pallet handler (model 6-54) and the 6/4/2 pallet handler (model 6-56) are designed to manage the toughest loads with ease, ensuring optimal life cycle cost management and reducing downtime. Built for robustness and reliability, these models integrate the MEYER Shaft Guide Concept with the optimized Full-Service sideshifter, setting a new industry standard. Key features like the overhead cylinder for safety, lateral force absorption, and wear-resistant slides enhance performance and lifespan, all while keeping maintenance costs low and productivity high.
