The Combilift company was started by two great engineers, Robert Moffett and Martin McVicar. Between them, they had over four decades of experience in engineering when they established the business in the year 1998 within Monaghan, Ireland. In just more than ten years, Combilift became a leader in the worldwide long-load handling market, providing machines to more than 50 markets all over the globe. Supported by a trusted international network of distributors which have assisted expand distribution into many markets all over the globe and using their extensive knowledge and experience, McVicar and Moffett have made machinery that are in high demand and had sold 10,000 models by mid 2009.
Below is a summary of several of the Combilift units.
There are a range of mast options for the C-Series Combilifts, while these machinery provide up to nine meters and lift capacities that top out at 25,000 kilograms. Available engines are in battery or electric, LPG or gas and diesel and the C-Series Combilifts can operate in guided aisles as narrow as 210 centimetres wide.
Combilift Straddle Carriers provide the ability to move oversized, heavy loads like fully loaded containers which weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads can be transported all around a work site or facility 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 machinery are a cost-effective, efficient solution for a lot of haulage, shipping, and distribution businesses, even those with low throughput levels.
The SL-Series is much different from other side-loaders because of its ability to drive in four directions. This multi-directional steering is available with the cab on the right or on the left. This all-wheel drive, hydrostatic lift truck could help companies in a lot of ways, one of which is to enable facilities to have narrower aisles. It also allows the capability to block or bilk stack by driving forward. This extremely manoeuvrable truck is normally found to be a superior alternative as opposed to lots of traditional sit-down sideloaders due to the many extra capabilities and features.
