PALAZZANI Industrie at APEX 2023 | A Missed Opportunity 

Last June 6-8, we exhibited as usual at the APEX 2023 exhibition

With an all-new Stand, in outdoor area No. 1460, we were present with our three Spiders: TZX 250, TSJ 35.1 and XTJ 52+.

One of the new features was definitely the 250 kg hydraulic winch on Spider TZX 250. This Spider can operate up to 25 meters in height, the performance is excellent as the low weight ensures maximum performance. The aluminum telescopic boom with two articulated and telescopic sections allows unrestricted operation with 2 people on board. Stabilization is dual: wide and narrow, quick and easy. Equipped with non-marking tracks, it is ideal for outdoor and indoor gardening and maintenance works.

TSJ 35.1 in ECO version has been very successful because of the electric motorization. The TSJ 35.1 Spider is a narrow and compact aerial platform, both in moving and placing and operates with simple and direct movements, without rear and upper encumbrances. Thanks to its sectional telescopic boom and the longest fixed articulating jib in the range, it allows up to 15 meters of outreach and a height of 35 meters. The structure is sturdy and provides stability and comfort in the basket and fast transfers even on steep slopes.  It is the best solution for rental, ideal for restoration work.

Finally, the giant of the Palazzani range was also present: the XTJ 52+ with 980 kg winch

Ragno XTJ 52+ offers an exceptional working diagram, fast and precise movements up to 52 meters in height. The area manager system adjusts outreach automatically, depending on stabilization and load (120/230/400 kg), always allowing 660° rotation, making it extremely easy to operate. It is the best solution for rental, ideal for site work, exterior and interior maintenance works and restoration.

More than 150 exhibitors were present at the event, but although expectations were high from the manufacturers, attendance was low.

During the day, we did not have the number of visits that are expected from an international event of this importance, as Paola Palazzani, commercial director of Palazzani Industrie, states, „The only ‘busy’ day was the second day. The first and third days were definitely subdued, and often the visitors and hirers were already known to the exhibitors.”

Most likely the Pandemic is still largely to blame as it disrupted the calendar of the events, causing them all to be concentrated during the same period.

„It is clear that the large number of local exhibitions in different countries, such as Vertikal Days (UK), JDL (fra) Platformers’ days (ger) just to list a few, made a fair like Apex almost superfluous in a busy year like 2023.” Paola continues.

„By now, the big renters focus on ‘open days,’ where they invite their clients; therefore, they no longer have an interest in bringing clients to the fair.

Since after the pandemic, the whole way of relating to the public has changed, henceforth we should focus on understanding and developing a new fair concept.

EDIL BONACCORSO CHOOSES PALAZZANI QUALITY

Edil Bonaccorso was founded as a construction company for the renovation and construction of buildings in housing.

Over the years, after gaining professionalism in the field, Bonaccorso has focused its activity on the use of aerial platforms to perform construction work on facades and roofs and terraces.

The Tuscan company is aimed at interventions, including urgent ones, for repairs of gutters and dangerous objects from roofs, removal and restoration of plaster and masonry parts on building facades.

Professionalism, versatile and efficient means, punctuality and quality of service are elements that distinguish Edil Bonaccorso.

Bonaccorso’s activities are considered niche because they are extremely specialized and require means and skills of a certain level.

That is why the company has a carefully selected fleet of machines.

Among the aerial platforms, appears the Ragno Palazzani XTJ 52+ purchased in 2021 and since then always at work thanks to the interchangeable winch that allows it to do more types of work.

Andrea Bonaccorso says, „We purchased the Ragno XTJ 52+ out of necessity as it is a unique platform capable of reaching 52 meters even in narrow and cramped spaces while maintaining the peculiarities of compactness stability and safety.” In addition, Andrea continues, „We chose Palazzani because of the company’s seriousness and the high quality of its products.”

As Bonaccorso says, the Ragno XTJ 52+ is always at work, this is thanks to the interchangeable winch, which is indispensable for all the activities carried out by the company such as: monitoring of historical companies, renovation works for cathedrals, maintenance and work in places with difficult access and significant heights.

XTJ 52+ In fact, it is capable of reaching 52 meters in height, has an outreach of 19.5 meters with a load capacity of 400 kg. In addition, XTJ 52+ offers an outstanding working diagram, quick and precise movements at any height. The area manager system adjusts outreach automatically, depending on stabilization and load (120/230/400 kg), always allowing 660° rotation, making it extremely easy to operate. It is the best solution for rental, ideal for site work, exterior and interior maintenance works, and restoration.

Andrea says he would suggest Palazzani’s products because, „Palazzani’s products are good and it is evident from the quality and technology used in manufacturing. In addition, the Spiders are very versatile allowing them to operate in any condition always safely and ensuring excellent work.”

Finally, Andrea concludes, „One thing not to be taken for granted was definitely the extremely positive experience with the sales and service staff who always responded promptly and thoroughly.”
