At Plast 2015, Gruniverpal exhibited its “pièce de résistance”: the machines in highest demand on the market, particularly recommended for handling moulds.

The Minidrel 20S and 60S are ideal solutions for absolute precision positioning during lifting operations in the injection press. These machines are the current state of the art in the sector, and thanks to them Gruniverpal has strengthened its leading position on the market. A number of strengths have contributed to this: loading capacity and working range 100% calibrated according to the type of press, height over tiebars, mould size; perfect load verticality in every telescopic arm position with maximum precision, zero sway  even in the final centering phase; steady mould lifting throughout the lifting operation at any height when complying with the maximum loading capacity; proportional and simultaneous movement control with instrument panel/wireless remote control; remote mould changes, maximum operator safety, millimetric centering; customisable telescopic arm range with mould changes both in a transversal and frontal position relative to the injection press; patented roll-over protection system with automatic “overload” shutdown; overall dimensions 50% less than standard forklifts and cranes with a comparable lifting capacity.

And lastly “the baby of the family” GB500. The GB series features high performance in tight spaces. Its strengths lie in: hydraulic turret rotation up to 270°; no stabilizers and easy movement of the machine even with a mould rotated with respect to the transfer axis; total control of electrohydraulic movements (including transfer) with instrument panel/wireless remote control; fully automatic and proportional movements for rapid manoeuvring time; maximum flexibility in tight spaces (machine footprint equal to a EUR-pallet); patented roll-over protection system with rotation phase control and automatic “overload” shutdown.

Research, innovation, quality. This is the proposal from Gruniverpal, a company founded in 1954 by Antonio Tranchero that specialises in the production of  electrohydraulic equipment for workshops and industrial applications. Over time, it has diversified production: from mobile cranes to aerial platforms, special machines for lifting, especially moulds. It does this according to a strictly “on demand” concept of the project and the product. The company's keyword is engineering. The know-how developed over sixty years of success with over 700 patents is the lodestar for the new generation of managers, engineers and technicians who aim for excellence: from design, to materials, to performance. The customisation of the product is the basis of every project: customisation is favoured over seriality. Every customer has their own specific needs: their demands are the real driver to invest in research and ensure flexibility in the offer.
