Car transporters are specialised vehicles used to convey passenger cars and light commercial vehicles from manufacturers’ production plants to distributors. Rolfo is an all-Italian market leader in this field.
Since the early 50s, the company - which is based in Bra (Cuneo, Piedmont) - has been a reference point for the design and production of this type of commercial vehicle.
From its advanced manufacturing facility, Rolfo produces and assembles the key components for the metal structure of the transporter body, combining this with the necessary pneumatic, hydraulic, electric and electronic sub-systems, to complete road-ready transporters, which are delivered to customers around the world.
Needs
“The company specialises in the production of customer specific truck bodies and trailers used for the transportation of various types and classes of vehicles, from passenger cars up to heavy duty trucks and off highway machinery”, states Irene Rolfo from the Rolfo SpA purchasing department.
“Modern transporters are the result of a technical design which aims to increase load capacities across the range of vehicles to be transported, while simplifying daily work for the drivers and reducing loading and unloading operation times. Enhanced safety is always paramount.”
Solutions
“The partnership between Rolfo and Camozzi Automation began almost four years ago. Initially, we were convinced and won over by the high quality of the fittings, along with the possibility to reduce the number of pieces necessary to connect our applications. We, therefore, decided to commission them to supply the fittings for our airbrake and air suspension circuits. Afterwards, we expanded our partnership to include applications with mini cylinders in the field of mobile automation, achieving significant improvements in quality and reliability.
Therefore, the decision to add Camozzi Automation to our list of trusted suppliers was a real win, from both a technological and economical point of view.”
