Irish materials handling specialist , Combilift , is back on the exhibition circuit at MACH 2022 ( Stand 6-170 ) to showcase some of the new models that it has developed over the last couple of years .
“ Many of our products save space in storage and production areas which has proved to be invaluable during the pandemic when manufacturers needed to keep up production levels whilst ensuring the social distancing of employees ,” it told ISMR .
In line with growing demand for cleaner , greener operations , the focus in Combilift ’ s R & D department has been on expanding its electric range .
“ We made our first electric multidirectional C-Series model over 18 years ago , and now over 60 % of the trucks we manufacture are electric ,” said Combilift CEO , Martin McVicar . “ As more and more of our customers are opting for electric power , it is obvious that they are as committed to sustainability as us .”
The new multidirectional Combi-XLE , launched in Autumn 2021 , combines quiet , emission-free operation with powerful performance and lift capacities of up to 5t for tough working environments . It features high ground clearance , large and cushioned front and rear tyres and a spacious cab , allowing smooth operation on semi rough terrain .
A further innovation is its new Aisle Master- OP ( AME-OP ), a stand-on electric powered model that combines the advantages of a narrow aisle articulated forklift and an order picker for versatile operation in storerooms and warehousing facilities . A main feature is its low-level , step-through operator compartment with a height of 280mm . Convenient , singlestep access from both sides of the truck speeds up order picking ( compared to the operator having to get in and out from a seated position ). n
