Specialized expertise and targeted solutions: Carer Forklift for the wood panel industry

Years of experience with market giants have led Carer, a manufacturer and global leader in electric forklifts, to develop the finest handling solutions for wood panel handling.

The wood panel sector is an essential subset of the broader timber industry. The significance and utilization of panels lie in various applications: from construction to furniture production, from packaging to interior design. Panel production involves pressing, gluing or laminating and requires rigorous resource management and precise logistical organization. Particularly, material handling throughout all production phases is crucial to ensure assembly line efficiency and output quality. The typical logistics scenario for this market involves spacious and organized warehouse facilities where wood panels from various production stages are stored.

Handling operations must be carried out with utmost precision, considering the fragility of the panels and the need to avoid damage during transportation and manipulation. This typically occurs in covered warehouses and often in confined spaces, where the agility of the equipment is crucial.

Wood panels: the anatomy of a perfect solution 

For years, Carer has been highly specialized in the timber sector, with an extensive network of major global partners spanning from the headquarter in Ravenna to the rest of Italy, Iberia, Central-Eastern Europe, Canada, and the United States. The electric power supplies and high capacities of Carer's electric forklifts ensure the industrial assets necessary to remain extremely competitive in the wood panel market, with some additional elements. Primarily, the total customization of fork plates, which can have fixed widths as per customer requirements or can be equipped with special hydraulic equipment allowing fork openings of up to 3.5 meters.

Twin tires are another indispensable component: by absorbing impacts effectively, they ensure great stability. Lastly, tapered and polished forks are essential for handling loads without risking scratches or damage to the cargo. Both the standard offer - with models like A 80/900 X, A 100, 120, and 160 X, and A 100 and 120 S - and every possible customization intervention make Carer at the forefront of offering the perfect solution to meet the needs of the industry players.
