The Combilift company was started by two great engineers, Robert Moffett and Martin McVicar. Between them, they had over 40 years of experience in engineering when they founded the business in 1998 within Monaghan, Ireland. In just more than ten years, Combilift became a leader in the worldwide long-load handling market, delivering products to more than 50 markets all over the world. Supported by a trusted international network of distributors that have helped expand distribution into numerous markets all around the globe and using their extensive knowledge and experience, McVicar and Moffett have made equipment which are in high demand and had sold 10,000 models by mid 2009.
Below is a summary of some of the Combilift models.
C-Series Combilifts are available in an assortment of mast options. Lift heights as much as nine meters and lift capacities up to 25,000 kilograms are available. Available engines are in gas or LPG, diesel, and battery or electric and the C-Series Combilifts can work in 210 centimetres wide guided aisles.
Combilift Straddle Carriers provide the ability to move heavy, oversized loads like fully loaded containers that weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads could be transported all over a facility or work site and the Combilift Straddle Carrier can raise fully loaded containers where needed, whether it be from the trailer to the ground, from the ground to the trailer, or from trailer to trailer. These equipment are an efficient, cost effective solution for numerous shipping, haulage, and distribution businesses, even those kinds with low throughput levels.
The SL-Series is a lot 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 all-wheel drive, hydrostatic lift truck can benefit businesses in a lot of ways, one of which is to allow facilities to have aisles that are narrower. It also enables the capability to block or bilk stack by driving forward. This highly manoeuvrable kind of truck is usually considered to be a better alternative compared to many conventional sit-down sideloaders because of the many added features and capabilities.
