Engines are available in electric or battery, LPG or gas and diesel and the C-Series Combilifts can work in guided aisles as narrow as 210 centimetres wide.
Combilift Straddle Carriers provide the ability to lift oversized, heavy cargo such as fully loaded containers which weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads can be transported all around a facility or work site and the Combilift Straddle Carrier can raise fully loaded containers where needed, whether it be from trailer to trailer, from the trailer to the ground or from the ground to the trailer. These types of machines are an effective, cost effective solution for many shipping, haulage, and distribution businesses, even those with low throughput levels.
The SL-Series side-loaders are machines capable of driving in four directions due to its multi-directional steering. This all-wheel drive, hydrostatic forklift could benefit businesses in numerous ways, one of which is to enable facilities to have aisles that are narrower. It also allows the capability to block or bilk stack by driving forward.
