The Combilift company was established by two great engineers, Martin McVicar and Robert Moffett. Between them, they had over 40 years of engineering experience when they established the company in 1998 within Monaghan, Ireland. In only over a decade, Combilift became a leader within the worldwide long-load handling market, providing products to over 50 markets worldwide. Supported by a trusted international network of distributors which have assisted expand distribution into many markets around the globe and using their extensive experience and knowledge, McVicar and Moffett have built equipment that had sold 10,000 units by mid 2009 and are in high demand.
Below is a summary of a few of the Combilift models.
There are a range of mast options for the C-Series Combilifts, while these machines offer up to nine meters and lift capacities that top out at 25,000 kilograms. Available engines are in gas or LPG, diesel, and battery or electric and the C-Series Combilifts can work in guided aisles as narrow as 210 centimetres wide.
The Combilift Straddle Carriers could carry fully loaded containers which could weigh up to 35 tons. These loads can be transported all over a facility or work site and the Combilift Straddle Carrier can carry fully loaded containers where required, whether it be from trailer to trailer, from the trailer to the ground or from the ground to the trailer. These types of machinery are an efficient, cost effective solution for numerous shipping, haulage, and distribution businesses, even those with low throughput levels.
The SL-Series side-loaders are machinery capable of driving in four directions thanks to its multi-directional steering. This all-wheel drive, hydrostatic forklift could benefit businesses in many ways, one of which is to allow facilities to have narrower aisles. It also allows the capability to bulk or block stack by driving forward. This highly manoeuvrable type of truck is normally considered to be a superior alternative as opposed to many conventional sit-down sideloaders due to the various added capabilities and features.
