Combilift Ltd Ireland

Stand TBC

DWT has been the license manufacturer of portable pipe bevelling machines under the brand name Babcock for over six years. This product range was originally developed by boiler manufacturer Babcock based on the onsite knowledge of its workers. Designed to improve the welding process, the rugged and compact machines have a high metal removal rate and are easy to handle. Especially designed for boiler walls, DWT offers very special applications for onsite operations with flexible and low weight machines. In practice it has been proven that weld preparation of tube ends considerably influences the quality of the welding junction. For tube welding applications with a high wall-thickness and for orbital welding technology, the welding engineer currently requires a perfect and effective mechanised weld preparation.

Combilift Ltd is a specialist in the long load handling sector. The company’s versatile 4-way forklifts provide safe and space- saving handling ideal for confined spaces, particularly in the tube and pipe, fabricating and manufacturing sectors.
