Combilift’s smallest and largest on show

The extent of Combilift’s product development since the last CeMAT was evident on its stand in the open air area, where 22 models were on show. Since the introduction of the new Combi-WR reach stacker range, at CeMAT for the first time, Combilift now offers handling solutions with load capacities from 1,450kg up to over 80t.

Combilift has gained a reputation for putting on a show at CeMAT and this year was no exception. The large stand featured a demo area where visitors could appreciate the capabilities of the trucks  at close quarters and regular performances of the very popular Combi-CB dancing forklift routine were, as ever, a big attraction.

Combilift made its name as the provider of innovative 4-way technology and customised forklifts and has manufactured 22.000 units since the company was established in 1998, adding new products at an average of at least one per year. Models from each of the main series were exhibited, all of which guarantee safe, space saving and productive handling of long and awkward loads, pallets, containers, extremely oversized products or a combination of these.

Premieres at CeMAT included the smallest Combilifts to date – the Combi-WR and its multidirectional counterpart the Combi-WR 4, which won this year’s UK FLTA award for ergonomics. At the other end of the size spectrum the new Straddle Carrier model, the Combi-SC Top-Lift, was hard to miss. The electric C4000E and a new sideloader model completed the CeMAT firsts.

As diverse as these new products are in their appearance and applications, the impetus for their development was based on the common goals of providing solutions for efficient, cost effective handling, taking customer feedback on board.
