Challenge

The industrial moving operations at LIPARI came with several challenges. The teams often had to work in tight spaces where cranes or trucks could not be used. Heavy loads created floor pressure constraints and sometimes had to be moved on slopes or uneven surfaces. Manual pushing and pulling exposed workers to a high risk of musculoskeletal injuries. In addition, strict cleanliness standards in sensitive environments — such as hospitals, clean rooms, and data centers — limited the use of traditional equipment. These factors led to worker fatigue, higher incident risks, and potential project delays.

Solution

To overcome these challenges in industrial moving, LIPARI Group chose Foxtrot’s SOLO20, a robot designed to move heavy loads without manual pushing or pulling — in complete safety.

Thanks to its compact size and low height, the SOLO20 can maneuver in tight environments where traditional equipment cannot operate. Its ergonomic design eliminates the need for lifting bars, reducing strain and the risk of injury. The robot’s versatility allows it to move seamlessly across uneven floors, metal plates, and even slight slopes.

Training was quick and efficient: LIPARI’s employees became fully operational after their first session, successfully moving a multi-ton electrical transformer with ease.
