There are a range of mast options for the C-Series Combilifts, while these equipment provide as much as nine meters and lift capacities that top out at 25,000 kilograms. Engines are available in battery or electric, LPG or gas and diesel and the C-Series Combilifts could work in guided aisles as narrow as 210 centimetres wide.
Combilift Straddle Carriers provide the ability to carry oversized, heavy loads like fully loaded containers that weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads can be transported all around a work site or facility and the Combilift Straddle Carrier can carry fully loaded containers where required, whether it be from trailer to trailer, from the trailer to the ground or from the ground to the trailer. These machines are an efficient, cost effective solution for a lot of shipping, haulage, and distribution businesses, even those with low throughput levels.
The SL-Series is much different from other side-loaders because of its ability to drive in four directions. This multi-directional steering is available with the cab on the left or on the right. This all-wheel drive, hydrostatic lift truck could help companies in lots of ways, one of which is to allow facilities to have narrower aisles. It also allows the capability to bulk or block stack by driving forward. This highly manoeuvrable type of truck is usually found to be a better alternative compared to numerous regular sit-down sideloaders due to the many added capabilities and features.
