Origins

PRAMAC’s history begins in 1966, when the Campinoti family founded L’Europea. L’Europea is a construction equipment company focused mainly on the Italian market.
In the mid-1980s the product range was expanded to include the production of generator sets and pallet and lift trucks, through the acquisition of the company Lifter S.r.l..
The 1990s were characterised by significant industrial and commercial expansion, culminating with the merger between L’Europea and Lifter S.r.l.. From then onwards, Pramac has been expanding its activity in the energy and material handling sectors, continuously growing on a global basis.

Materials Handling

Since decades, the company has been developing, manufacturing and selling from its Italian plant, a complete range of warehouse material handling equipment aiming at satisfying needs and demands expressed by the customers. From light duty to most intense applications, the extreme care and dedication to innovation, guarantee that the entire range of machines branded Lifter by Pramac comply with all applicable safety regulations. The highly experienced personnel, the fully integrated Made In Italy production and the on-going development ensure top quality build and performance together with the possibility of offering tailor made solutions on the base of customer’s individual needs.

The manually operated trucks range offers a complete series of ideal tools for handling pallets of any size and covers several applications (fragile and delicate loads, working platforms, humid and damp environments, internal weighing operation among the others) with a broad choice of forks dimensions.

The electric pallet trucks range has been designed to work in narrow spaces and cover different type of use. The AC technology and the double lifting system are some of the mechanical and technological devices to improve and develop solutions that meet increasing market demands.

The stackers range includes manual, semi-electric and electric machines with different prices and performances. Robust design, ergonomics, low maintenance make these products the perfect tool for logistic centres, terminals and manufacturing areas. Additional improved tiller with lifting/lowering proportional control, lateral drive, fingertip throttle controls and batteries with a long working autonomy are extra features that make these trucks even more user-friendly and manoeuvrable.
