Combilift provided a 35t capacity Straddle Carrier to help JKH Drainage cope with the increased volume of raw materials and finished products at its new 6-acre site. With a telescopic facility, the SC’s closed height of 5.5m enables it to pass through the 5.8m high doorway, where it has just enough clearance in the 6m roof space to lift the largest castings and take them to the outside storage areas.
