The Combilift company was founded by two great engineers, Robert Moffett and Martin McVicar. Between them, they had more than four decades of engineering experience when they established the business in 1998 within Monaghan, Ireland. In just over 10 years, Combilift became a leader in the worldwide long-load handling market, providing machinery to over 50 markets worldwide. Supported by a trusted international network of distributors that have helped expand distribution into many markets around the globe and using their extensive experience and knowledge, McVicar and Moffett have built products that are in high demand and had sold 10,000 units by mid 2009.
Below is a summary of some 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. Engines are available in diesel, electric or battery and LPG or gas and the C-Series Combilifts can operate within 210 centimetres wide guided aisles.
Combilift Straddle Carriers offer the ability to lift oversized, heavy cargo like fully loaded containers which weigh up to 35 tons. These loads could be transported all over a facility or work site 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 equipment are a cost-effective, effective solution for a lot of haulage, shipping, and distribution businesses, even those with low throughput levels.
The SL-Series side-loaders are machines capable of driving in four directions due to its multi-directional steering. This all-wheel drive, hydrostatic forklift could benefit companies in many 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 extremely manoeuvrable kind of truck is often found to be a superior choice compared to lots of traditional sit-down sideloaders due to the many added features and capabilities.
