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.
