History
Carnovali from 1977 to today
Carnovali was founded in Prevalle in 1977 as a family-run sole proprietorship, in a sector that was then little served: equipment for the environmental industry.
With the second generation the business expanded, keeping steel fabrication as its core process. Around that process a group has grown that today comprises seven marques and covers the entire supply chain, from raw material to the finished, tested vehicle.
Products
The seven equipment families in the catalogue
Every machine is sized on the duty cycle: the material to be loaded, the emptying frequency and the handling vehicle determine the steel, the thicknesses, the sealing and the opening system.
→Hooklift containers
Fifteen types in steel, from the standard body to stainless steel, rolled and shark-mouth versions, through to the fire-fighting tank.
→Hooklift compactors
Three compression systems, ram, single-blade and screw, to reduce waste volume where it is produced.
→Static presses
Fixed ground-mounted units coupled to interchangeable containers: the press stays in position, the containers rotate.
→Hooklift flatbeds
For transporting operating machinery, pallets and loads that require a continuous load bed.
→Fixed containers
Front loaders and fixed tanks: they stay in position and are emptied directly by the vehicle.
→Skip containers
Site and recycling-centre containers, with metal or PVC lid.
→Openings and covers
Five types of rear opening and twelve covering systems, for hooklift and fixed containers.
