The Combilift company was established by two great engineers, Robert Moffett and Martin McVicar. Between them, they had over four decades of experience in engineering when they established the company in the year 1998 in Monaghan, Ireland. In only over a decade, Combilift became a leader in the long handling market all around the globe, delivering equipment to more than 50 markets worldwide. Supported by a trusted international network of distributors which have helped expand distribution into many markets around the world and using their extensive experience and knowledge, Moffett and McVicar have built machines which had sold 10,000 models by mid 2009 and are in high demand.
Beneath is a summary of some of the Combilift units.
C-Series Combilifts come in an array of mast options. Lift heights as much as nine meters and lift capacities up to 25,000 kilograms are available. Engines are available in battery or electric, LPG or gas and diesel and the C-Series Combilifts can work within guided aisles as narrow as 210 centimetres wide.
The Combilift Straddle Carriers can move fully loaded containers that can weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads can be transported all over a facility or work site and the Combilift Straddle Carrier can raise fully loaded containers where needed, whether it be from trailer to trailer, from the trailer to the ground or from the ground to the trailer. These types of equipment are an effective, cost effective solution for many haulage, shipping, and distribution businesses, even those types with low throughput levels.
The SL-Series is much different compared to other side-loaders due to its ability to drive in four directions. This multi-directional steering is available with the cab on the left or on the right. This hydrostatic, all-wheel drive lift truck can help companies in numerous ways, one of which is to allow facilities to have aisles that are narrower. It also allows the capability to bulk or block stack by driving forward. This highly manoeuvrable kind of truck is often found to be a better choice compared to many conventional sit-down sideloaders due to the various extra capabilities and features.
