Absolute power and stability for wine logistics

Project Quick Sheet:

Client: Giacomo Montresor Winery
Sector: Wine / Food & Beverage
Product installed: DL Series industrial goods lift with columns
Scope: Configurable up to 5,000 kg
Special Configurations: SPB System (Man and Forklift on Board) + Stainless Steel Finishes + U-Cloud Arrangement

Optimize high-volume handling with the DL Series: extreme reach, on-board forklift transport, and hygienic finishes for excellence in winemaking.

The Context and the Challenge

In the wine industry, internal logistics are under tremendous strain, especially during peak periods such as the grape harvest. For the historic Giacomo Montresor Winery, the daily handling of pallets loaded with bottles, tanks, and heavy equipment required a lifting system that met two basic requirements: extreme strength and absolute stability.

The challenge was to build a facility capable of handling large volumes of cargo without the slightest wobble, thereby protecting the most delicate products and preventing any risk of damage or imbalance during transfer between cellar levels.

The sheer power of the DL Series

To meet the rigorous demands of this industry, Updinamic designed and installed an industrial hoist from the DL Series—the premier solution designed for extreme loads.

With its imposing and robust multi-column design (available in 2- or 4-column configurations), the DL Series completely eliminates sway, ensuring extremely smooth and safe lifting. Designed to lift loads ranging from 2000 up to 5,000 kg, this plant proved to be the ideal partner to handle the fast pace and heavy loads typical of wine production.

Uninterrupted Operation and Hygiene

The system installed at Montresor Winery was customized with specific features to maximize efficiency and comply with food safety regulations:

Forklift Transport with Operator (SPB): The real logistics revolution. The system is certified to transport goods with an operator on board and, thanks to its extraordinary capacity, allows for safe loading the entire forklift, including the driver. This eliminates downtime associated with loading and unloading on each floor, allowing for a seamless workflow.
Hygiene and Cleanliness (Stainless Steel): Since the facility operates in a food environment, it is critical to prevent any contamination. The facility has been equipped with finishes and coatings in AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel—materials that are corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and ideal for ensuring the highest standards of hygiene required in a winery.

U-Cloud Predictive Control: Even the most tradition-bound wineries need to consider Industry 4.0. The system is designed for U-Cloud technology, which enables remote monitoring of work cycles and the implementation of predictive maintenance. This is a crucial advantage for avoiding any sudden downtime during the critical months of production.

Safety and Certifications

To ensure the complete protection of Montresor Winery’s staff and property, our elevator meets the highest standards:

Advanced “man-present” control panels and perimeter security sensors.
Designed and manufactured entirely in Italy.

Full compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and is already aligned with the new Machinery Regulation 2023/1230/EU.
