Combi-CB wins UK FLTA award for innovation
The 4-way Combi-CB is the smallest Combilift to date, and was developed specifically for operations handling mixed loads of mainly palletised goods but also long products. The forklift is an excellent alternative to electric 4-way reach trucks, and helps achieve 100 per cent use of lower storage areas. Very compact dimensions also enable operation in containers for seamless unloading directly from delivery vehicles to the warehouse. The Combi-CB works indoors and out, has a 2.5t capacity and is available with LPG, diesel or electric power. The UK FLTA summed up the benefits of this new forklift as follows: “The Combi-CB compact multi-directional counterbalance transfers the four-way principle into a small counterbalance truck for the first time.” This is the fifth major award that Combilift has won since the company was established.
