The Combilift company was started by two great engineers, Robert Moffett and Martin McVicar. Between them, they had over four decades of engineering experience when they founded the company during the year 1998 in Monaghan, Ireland. In only over a decade, Combilift became a leader within the worldwide long-load handling market, providing products to over 50 markets worldwide. Supported by a trusted international network of distributors which have helped expand distribution into many markets around the world and utilizing their extensive knowledge and experience, Moffett and McVicar have made equipment that are in high demand and had sold 10,000 units by mid 2009.
Beneath is a summary of some of the Combilift units.
C-Series Combilifts come in an assortment of mast options. Lift heights up to nine meters and lift capacities as much as 25,000 kilograms are available. Engines are available in diesel, electric or battery and LPG or gas and the C-Series Combilifts could work within 210 centimetres wide guided aisles.
Combilift Straddle Carriers provide the ability to carry heavy, oversized cargo such as fully loaded containers which weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads could be transported all around a work site or facility and the Combilift Straddle Carrier could lift 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 machinery are an effective, cost effective solution for many haulage, shipping, and distribution businesses, even those 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 left or on the right. This hydrostatic, all-wheel drive lift truck can benefit companies in many ways, one of which is to enable facilities to have narrower aisles. It also allows the capability to bulk or block stack by driving forward. This highly manoeuvrable truck is normally considered to be a better alternative as opposed to lots of conventional sit-down sideloaders due to the various extra capabilities and features.
