The Combilift company was founded by two great engineers, Robert Moffett and Martin McVicar. Between them, they had over 40 years of engineering experience when they founded the company during 1998 in Monaghan, Ireland. In only more than ten years, Combilift became a leader in the long handling market all over the globe, delivering machines to more than 50 markets all over the globe. Supported by a trusted global network of distributors that have assisted expand distribution into many markets all over the globe and using their extensive experience and knowledge, McVicar and Moffett have built products that had sold 10,000 units by mid 2009 and are in high demand.
Below is a summary of a few of the Combilift units.
There are a variety of mast options for the C-Series Combilifts, while these machinery provide as much as nine meters and lift capacities that top out at 25,000 kilograms. Available engines are in diesel, electric or battery and gas or LPG and the C-Series Combilifts could operate in guided aisles as narrow as 210 centimetres wide.
Combilift Straddle Carriers offer the ability to move heavy, oversized loads like fully loaded containers which weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads can be transported all over a work site or facility 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 equipment are an effective, cost effective solution for lots of haulage, shipping, and distribution businesses, even those kinds with low throughput levels.
The SL-Series is much 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 businesses in many ways, one of which is to allow facilities to have aisles which are narrower. It also enables the capability to block or bilk stack by driving forward. This extremely manoeuvrable type of truck is usually found to be a better choice as opposed to many regular sit-down sideloaders because of the various added capabilities and features.
