Palazzani Industrie is an Italian manufacturer of Ragno aerial platforms. Our range of aerial platforms includes tracked and wheeled Ragno models, designed to successfully tackle any situations. Palazzani Industrie’s Ragno platforms can operate almost anywhere, in situations that are impossible for traditional platforms, covering a wide range of heights and outreaches.

These platforms are equipped with features that enable versatile use: they can operate autonomously, powered by with diesel engine and electrically with batteries, or with a single or three-phase socket outlet., offering the flexibility of being powered by the electrical grid and/or batteries. They can also easily drive off-road and on slopes such as: ramps of garages, staircases, etc.

The remarkable compactness of these platforms allows them to access tight spaces and operate with agility in enclosed and crowded environments, without noise or exhaust gases. Their ability to easily stabilize in tight spaces, on irregular and steep slopes, on delicate and low-capacity floors, makes them ideal tools for a wide range of applications.

Ease of use and a focus on safety are central to the design of these platforms, ensuring an intuitive and risk-free operational experience. Palazzani Industrie is committed to providing advanced and reliable solutions, making our Ragno platforms the ideal choice for those seeking high performance in any context.

E.E: What are clients looking for when they want to buy products / solutions from your range?

Surely one of the main reasons why customers want to buy Ragni Palazzani is the high quality of the product, both in terms of technology, reliability, and safety. From a technological point of view, in fact, we have developed an intelligent software able to monitor the diagnostic data of the aerial platform, improving the user experience of the customer and giving more security.

Our spiders are also full optional, so they already include in the basic model many interesting features, such as the “Kit PalConnect”, a remote connection service with the aerial platform that allows the user to monitor the key parameters of use of the machine and to intervene with some of them, basket anti-collision kit: a laser sensors are positioned at the four corners of the basket and monitor the distance between the operator and any vertical obstacles, ultrasonic sensors check the presence of any obstacles around the perimeter, pads for outriggers, different types of pads to distribute the load of the ground stabilizers and have greater stability of the machine and many others.

Another reason is to choose hybrid or electric solutions to carry out work indoors and contribute to sustainability.

Another very important reason is the presence of a widespread network of authorized dealers and workshops to support all our customers and provide customized solutions for every type of emergency. Our technical team guarantees fast, professional, and efficient service, thanks to its long experience in the sector and continuous training. Our dealers provide professional after-sales assistance: scheduled maintenance, overhauls, periodic checks, interventions, and complete support to keep the machine running and operational.

E.E: What sets your products / solutions apart? What innovative / special features do they have?

The characteristics that distinguish our aerial platforms are the high-tech tools such as the 4.3 colour touch screen monitor present both on the ground and on the cage control panel, providing the operator with all detailed and salient information of the aerial working platform he needs during aerial work.

The monitor interface has been designed to minimize user interactions and display the most useful information at all times depending on the state of the machine.

As well as on the ground, also in the basket the monitor provides suggestions and messages to facilitate the operator’s work.

The presence of “PalConnect Kit”, a “ready to go” package that can be combined with the Ragno platform. It is a kit that offers a remote connection service with the aerial platform that allows the user to monitor the key parameters of use of the machine and intervene with some of them.

The possibility of being able to choose an eco or hybrid version of our aerial platforms is an advantage for those who have to work inside or for those who want to be environmentally sustainable.

The possibility of applying the winch (500kg or 980 kg) instead of the basket to use the aerial platform as a crane. Coupling system and quick release of the hydraulic winch to accelerate and speed up the replacement between basket and winch, reducing significantly the machine downtime.

Simply through a mechanical connection lever, all pipes are automatically connected/disconnected. The hydraulic connector is able to discharge the residual pressure present in the pipes and consequently allows the connection without any force needed.

E.E: Tell us some tips & tricks that clients can use when searching to buy your products / solutions?

We advise our customers to identify their needs, in order to be able to offer them a suitable offer and do everything to meet them.
