Pianoplan

PianoPlan

with sliding and tilting platform

 

Although there is a dedicated grand piano model, the pianoplan stairclimber is designed to move any bulky cargo up to 600 kg up and down stairs. There are three versions that all share the same incredible dexterity, providing users with complete versatility and flexibility for all types of loads.

Protected handles with joystick control allow the machine to be positioned to the millimetre. Independent powered tracks combined with a sliding and tilting platform ensure the load is kept above the tracks the entire time. Its party trick is the extendable roller arm underneath allowing the machine to be rotated within its own axis and manoeuvre tight landings. Every Pianoplan can climb stairs with a gradient of up to 45°.

Which model to choose depends on the type of load to be moved.

PIANOPLAN STANDARD with powered sliding platform is suitable for the transport of objects that can be hoisted onto the platform of the Pianoplan stairclimber. The object must also be capable of being tilted to the angle of the staircase, up to 45°. The hydraulically actioned, sliding top plate keeps the load level at all times.

PIANOPLAN HORIZONTAL with powered tilting platform is suitable for objects that can be loaded onto the Pianoplan stair robot platform. This Pianoplan has been designed to maintain a horizontal platform in relation to the angle of the stairs, up to 45°. For example, to transport a commercial photocopier that requires to be kept in a horizontal position to prevent fluid loss.

PIANOPLAN VERTICAL with powered tilting platform to vertical position is suitable when the object must be rotated from vertical, onto its side, effectively onto the Pianoplan platform. For example, when carrying a bulky refrigerator, the Pianoplan Vertical allows the refrigerator to be lifted and rotated into position on the stair climbing robot. Thanks to the stabilisers, all the work is carried out in complete safety. After climbing the steps or stairs, the refrigerator is returned to the original upright position.

The Pianoplan staircrawler ensures that manual handling of large and bulky items is eliminated, at the same time complying with OH & S regulations, reducing the risk of slips or trips and promoting productivity and efficiency.

Climbing up to 50 floors on a single charge, manoeuvring around landings as narrow as 850 mm, with speed variation and steering on stairs or across ground achieved by one finger on a joystick as well as an electromagnetic brake ensuring maximum safety…the Pianoplan stairclimber guarantees that backache and physical pain are nothing but a memory.

Safe, economic, speedy, powerful and easy to use, this ingenious stairclimbing robot reflects the finest and most advanced European technology.

Features & Benefits

SAFE
an electromagnetic brake works on the traction gear ensuring maximum safety so if the power fails the brake automatically locks the tracks.

ECONOMIC
only one or two operators required for a job usually needing four or five persons. Backache and physical strain nothing but a memory.

SPEEDY AND POWERFUL
equipped with powerful motors with a sturdy steel loading platform. Can climb approximately 50 floors on a single charge.

EASY TO USE
you can vary the climbing speed, the platform angle, move the load relative to the tracks to get a better centre of balance all at the touch of buttons located on the adjustable handle.

TIGHT LANDINGS
thanks to its very clever lifting system the Piano plan can allow a very bulky load (like a piano) to be manoeuvred around very tight landings.

JOYSTICK OPERATION
speed variation and steering on stairs or across ground is achieved by one finger on a joystick.

THREE MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM:

  • Pianoplan Standard (PPS600) – with powered sliding platform
  • Pianoplan Horizontal (PPH600) – with powered tilting platform
  • Pianoplan Vertical (PPV600) – with powered tilting platform to vertical position

Applications

The Pianoplan is often the solution when there is no other solution. Items weighing up to 600 kg often exceed the capacity of a lift, or maybe the item to be moved is the lift motor and gearbox!

The Pianoplan has been designed to take advantage of every millimetre available on tight stairs and landing. As it’s name suggests Piano installation and removal is a common residential application however the Pianoplan really wins in commercial applications like kitchen and laundry equipment, industrial white goods and electrical cabinets.

Pianoplan Horizontal allows the load to be kept level, ideal for sensitive freight that cannot be tipped on its side such as medical devices, industrial multi-functional printers and beverage vending machines. Pianoplan Vertical has the ability to self-load making it perfect for food and pharmaceutical machinery, industrial HVAC and money exchanges.

Other applications include:

  • Ski Lift Gondolas
  • Marine Pumps
  • Hospital Equipment
  • Safe and Vaults
  • Stone Bench tops
  • Glass Panels
  • Signage
