The Combilift company was established by two great engineers, Robert Moffett and Martin McVicar. Between them, they had more than four decades of engineering experience when they founded the company in the year 1998 within Monaghan, Ireland. In only more than ten years, Combilift became a leader within the global long-load handling market, providing products to over 50 markets worldwide. Supported by a trusted global network of distributors which have assisted expand distribution into many markets all around the globe and using their extensive experience and knowledge, Moffett and McVicar have created equipment that are in high demand and had sold 10,000 units by mid 2009.
Below is a summary of a few of the Combilift models.
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 LPG or gas, diesel, and battery or electric and the C-Series Combilifts could work within 210 centimetres wide guided aisles.
The Combilift Straddle Carriers can transport fully loaded containers which can weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads could be transported all around a facility or work site and the Combilift Straddle Carrier can carry 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 kinds of machinery are an effective, cost effective solution for many shipping, haulage, and distribution businesses, even those kinds with low throughput levels.
The SL-Series side-loaders are equipment capable of driving in four directions thanks to its multi-directional steering. This all-wheel drive, hydrostatic lift truck can help companies in numerous ways, one of which is to enable facilities to have aisles that are narrower. It also allows the capability to block or bilk stack by driving forward. This highly manoeuvrable kind of truck is often considered to be a better option as opposed to many typical sit-down sideloaders due to the various added capabilities and features.
