The Combilift company was founded by two engineers, Robert Moffett and Martin McVicar. Between them, they had more than 40 years of experience in engineering when they founded the business during the year 1998 within Monaghan, Ireland. In just more than a decade, Combilift became a leader within the long handling market all over the world, providing products to more than 50 markets worldwide. Supported by a trusted international network of distributors that have assisted expand distribution into numerous markets around the world and using their extensive experience and knowledge, McVicar and Moffett have created machines that are in high demand and had sold 10,000 models by mid 2009.
Beneath is a summary of some of the Combilift models.
There are a variety of mast options for the C-Series Combilifts, while these machinery offer up to nine meters and lift capacities that top out at 25,000 kilograms. Engines are available in diesel, electric or battery and gas or LPG and the C-Series Combilifts could operate in 210 centimetres wide guided aisles.
Combilift Straddle Carriers offer the ability to move heavy, oversized loads like fully loaded containers that weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads can be transported all around a work site or facility and the Combilift Straddle Carrier could raise 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 types of machines 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 because of 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 could benefit businesses in many ways, one of which is to allow facilities to have aisles which are narrower. It also enables the capability to block or bilk stack by driving forward. This highly manoeuvrable type of truck is usually found to be a better alternative compared to lots of traditional sit-down sideloaders due to the many added capabilities and features.
