The Combilift company was established by two great engineers, Robert Moffett and Martin McVicar. Between them, they had more than 40 years of experience in engineering when they founded the company in 1998 in Monaghan, Ireland. In only more than a decade, Combilift became a leader within the long handling market all around the globe, providing machinery to more than 50 markets all around the globe. Supported by a trusted international network of distributors which have helped expand distribution into numerous markets all over the globe and using their extensive experience and knowledge, McVicar and Moffett have built machines that are in high demand and had sold 10,000 models by mid 2009.
Below is a summary of several of the Combilift units.
C-Series Combilifts come in an array of mast options. Lift heights as much as nine meters and lift capacities up to 25,000 kilograms are available. Available engines are in electric or battery, gas or LPG and diesel and the C-Series Combilifts can work within 210 centimetres wide guided aisles.
Combilift Straddle Carriers offer the ability to transport oversized, heavy loads such as 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 could raise fully loaded containers where required, whether it be from the trailer to the ground, from the ground to the trailer, or from trailer to trailer. These machines are a cost-effective, effective solution for numerous haulage, shipping, and distribution businesses, even those types 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 right or on the left. This all-wheel drive, hydrostatic lift truck can benefit businesses in many ways, one of which is to enable facilities to have narrower aisles. It also enables the capability to bulk or block stack by driving forward. This extremely manoeuvrable type of truck is normally considered to be a superior alternative compared to a lot of conventional sit-down sideloaders due to the various added capabilities and features.
