The Combilift company was started by two engineers, Martin McVicar and Robert Moffett. Between them, they had over four decades of experience in engineering when they founded the company in 1998 within Monaghan, Ireland. In just over a decade, Combilift became a leader in the global long-load handling market, providing machinery to more than 50 markets worldwide. Supported by a trusted international network of distributors which have assisted expand distribution into many markets all around the globe and using their extensive experience and knowledge, McVicar and Moffett have created machinery which had sold 10,000 units by mid 2009 and are in high demand.
Beneath is a summary of several of the Combilift models.
There are a variety of mast options for the C-Series Combilifts, while these equipment provide up to nine meters and lift capacities that top out at 25,000 kilograms. Available engines are in diesel, battery or electric and LPG or gas and the C-Series Combilifts could work within guided aisles as narrow as 210 centimetres wide.
The Combilift Straddle Carriers can lift fully loaded containers which could weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads could be transported all around a facility or work site and the Combilift Straddle Carrier could raise fully loaded containers where needed, whether it be from the trailer to the ground, from the ground to the trailer, or from trailer to trailer. These machinery are a cost-effective, efficient solution for many shipping, haulage, 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 benefit companies in numerous ways, one of which is to enable facilities to have aisles that are narrower. It also allows the capability to bulk or block stack by driving forward. This highly manoeuvrable type of truck is usually considered to be a better option compared to many standard sit-down sideloaders because of the many additional features and capabilities.
