Combilift is a company which was initially founded by engineers Robert Moffett and Martin McVicar. They had over 40 years of experience between them when they initially founded the company during 1998 in Monaghan, Ireland. In only over ten years, Combilift became a leader within the global long-load handling market, providing equipment to over 50 markets worldwide. Supported by a trusted international network of distributors that have helped expand distribution into many markets all around the globe and using their extensive knowledge and experience, Moffett and McVicar have made machinery which are in high demand and had sold 10,000 units by mid 2009.
Below is a summary of a few of the Combilift models.
C-Series Combilifts come in an array of mast options. Lift heights as much as nine meters and lift capacities as much as 25,000 kilograms are available. Available engines are in gas or LPG, diesel, and battery or electric and the C-Series Combilifts can work within guided aisles as narrow as 210 centimetres wide.
The Combilift Straddle Carriers can transport fully loaded containers that could weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads can be transported all over a work site or facility and the Combilift Straddle Carrier can lift fully loaded containers where required, whether it be from the trailer to the ground, from the ground to the trailer, or from trailer to trailer. These kinds of equipment are a cost-effective, effective solution for many shipping, haulage, and distribution businesses, even those with low throughput levels.
The SL-Series is a lot different from other side-loaders due to its ability to drive in four directions. This multi-directional steering is available with the cab on the right or on the left. This hydrostatic, all-wheel drive lift truck could benefit companies in a lot of ways, one of which is to allow facilities to have aisles that are narrower. It also allows the capability to block or bilk stack by driving forward. This extremely manoeuvrable truck is normally found to be a better alternative compared to a lot of typical sit-down sideloaders due to the many extra capabilities and features.
