FrançaisAlmaCrawler in the IAPAs Shortlist 2024
We are excited to travel to Denmark on 13 March 2024 to attend the IAPAs– our BIBI 1090 PRiMO been shortlisted for the IAPA Awards Product of the Year – Scissor Lifts & Vertical Masts category.
The event will be held at the Scandic Copenhagen Hotel, in Copenhagen, Denmark, and we look forward to attending!
AlmaCrawler’s commitment is to push the boundaries of the aerial work platform industry by investing significant resources in researching and developing new technologies that simplify and improve the safety of operators when working at height.
The BIBI 1090 PRiMO represents our past and our future – a return to the platform with which we started, designing it in a current key, a highly desired and very important update.
The BIBI 1090 PRIMO is a fully electric aerial platform with electric drive, in line with the other products in the PRiMO line. It has a fully removable battery pack to allow the platform greater flexibility of use than other full-electric offerings currently on the market.
Why removable? Our answer is simple: Why not?
The BIBI 1090 PRiMO appeals both to rental companies looking to electrify their fleets, and to all those who are aware of new sustainability regulations and the use of alternative energy sources.
The development of the BIBI 1090 PRiMO was mainly motivated by a growing demand for electric aerial platforms, also for outdoor use. Concern for a less polluted future, customer feedback and developments in electric drive technology played a significant role in the design of this new platform.
Here are some of the main benefits and advantages of the BIBI 1090 PRiMO:
- Electric drive – allows a maximum speed of 4.5 km/h.
Removable battery pack for extended use and easy charging, zero emissions and noise pollution.- Updated design for greater functionality and a better user experience.
- Suitable for use on construction sites with limited access to power sources, thanks to the ability to remove and replace the battery pack on the job site.
- EAS Anti Entrapment System, technology designed to prevent serious injury by stopping the unit but allowing space for the operator to safely remove himself.
- Automatic Track Tensioning System – ZERO maintenance
Our long-term goals for the BIBI 1090 PRiMO are ambitious. We aim to significantly expand its presence and consider introducing complementary products and services that can further improve performance and safety, as well as more comprehensively meet the changing needs of our customers.
Our mission is to be at the forefront of offering sustainable solutions for work-at-height and material handling equipment, and we are constantly striving to achieve this goal.

AlmaCrawler commits to the environment
Ethical business and sustainability are key differentiators today, and we work hard to offer our industry high-performance platforms with reduced environmental impact.
Operating with respect for human and environmental resources is one of the goals that sets us apart.
The production of electric platforms not only responds to market demands for indoor and outdoor use but also contributes to our mission of becoming more sustainable and reducing our negative impact. In this regard, we are proud to announce that we have taken another step forward, as the lithium batteries used in our platforms have become cobalt-free as of 1 January 2022!
In 2020, our cobalt-free battery partner, Aliant Battery, has embarked on a journey to offer the market a range of rechargeable lithium batteries based on lithium iron phosphate – LFP (LiFePO4) technology – that are completely cobalt-free.
This is a great achievement for our industry and we at AlmaCrawler are extremely excited for our supplier’s chosen path because cobalt-free batteries allow a significantly smaller environmental impact due to a reduction in mining activities, better end-of-life management of the batteries due to the ease of recycling the cells, and a reduction in the exploitation of the workforce, the vast majority of which takes place in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In fact, the main source of cobalt is the Democratic Republic of Congo, where there are unsafe and unethical mining practices, with thousands of workers, sometimes underage, working in harsh and dangerous conditions, constantly facing the possibility of death and serious injuries.
Andrea Artoni, General Manager, said: “We are pleased to be able to partner with forward-thinking partners. We carefully choose our supply chain by measuring our goals and expectations against those of our future partners. Aliant Battery has once again proven to the market they have a clear intention to invest in sustainability and innovation. We offer the market platforms with smarter, cleaner batteries in line with our ethical standards because of our commitments and we intend to study more and more sustainable solutions with our partners in the future”.

AlmaCrawler celebrates 9 year anniversary!
We celebrated our 9th birthday with a new company video and big plans
When we think back to the serendipitous beginning of AlmaCrawler that April 2, 2013 – we are filled with pride for our now 70+ strong team. We are also humbled by the support our global partners and clients have shown us since Andrea Artoni and Pietro Agosta del Forte decided to start a business nine years ago.
We remember well the first tracked scissor lift that travelled wide and far to show all those who would have us just what we had in mind! We also know each and every one of the first companies and their owners that bought an Almac product (some of them still own and use it!). And finally today we can boldly say we have carved ourselves a path in the access industry – it has been an amazing adventure. We have grown, we now offer 5 product lines, have 2 subsidiaries – in the UK and Australia – and more than 38 dealers worldwide.
In a few words, we would like to thank you because all this would not have been possible without your support as well as the sheer will, enthusiasm and stamina of our entire team.
Please enjoy our new company video, shot with the help of the whole AlmaCrawler team, a little surprise we’ve been working on for the last few months! Since we had so much fun making this footage – be on the lookout for a behind the scenes special!

AlmaCrawler in the IAPAs Shortlist
We are excited to travel to London today to attend the IAPAs – our Billennium SpiderBoom B1890 Quick-Pro has been shortlisted for the IAPA Awards Product of the Year – Self Propelled Booms & Atrium Lifts category.
We’re looking forward to the event tomorrow, 10 March 2022, at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington.
We at AlmaCrawler pride ourselves for pushing the boundaries of the status-quo in the aerial platform sector, investing significant resources in research and development with the aim of creating innovation that can simplify and make work safer at high altitudes.
The Billennium line – self-propelled aerial platforms with stabilisers – features two variations for the stabilisation system: VISUAL for products with fixed stabilisation and Quick-Pro for variable area stabilisation. This range of products features two innovative patent-pending systems:
- the first is the AWP system – Adaptive Working Performance – which, thanks to the presence of sensors on the stabilisers, allows the platform to detect the actual position of the machine in real time, automatically adapting its performance;
- the second system is called SPS – Self-Propelled skill System – and allows the platform to be used at height without the use of stabilisers, even on longitudinal slopes of up to 10°.
The Billennium B1890 Quick-Pro model differentiates itself by allowing the operator to easily and simply choose between six different configurations, depending on the space available to the operator. With a working height of 18m, a maximum outreach of 10.9m, and most importantly a travel height of 9m – the only stabilized telescopic tracked platform able to travel at height – it is certainly one of our most innovative products.
Officialy launched in April 2021, the Billennium B1890 EVO Quick-Pro has quickly attracted considerable interest from the industry, even winning the Italplatform Innovative Product award in October 2021, an award we at AlmaCrawler took great pride in.
While we impatiently wait for the IAPA Awards that will be held tomorrow, we can only thank all our customers and partners for the incredible support and interest dedicated to us and our products!
