now has 40,000 units in operation in over 85 countries. Combilift’s product portfolio has expanded beyond its first multidirectional model, according to Mr McVicar: “Combilift has always focused on a number of niche market segments and has a proven track record of launching one or two new products annually. In the first ten years we focused on the long load material handling sector with the multidirectional range, which revolutionised the handling of long materials, allowing customers to handle long products in less space more safely.” The new 46,500m 2 purpose-built factory is set on a 100-acre site with room for future expansion when required. With 11 acres of roof space it is one of the largest manufacturing operations under one single roof in the Republic of Ireland. Incorporating the latest manufacturing processes with a focus on sustainability, the new factory will enable Combilift to double its output in a single shift across all production lines. Four 90m moving assembly lines produce a finished truck every 15 minutes. There are 60 welding bays, two plasma cutting machines, three paint lines (which use sustainable water-based paints), and three automatic shot blasters to cater for different sized products. 12,000 pallet locations ensure ample storage space for parts and components. More than 50 truckloads of finished products are dispatched from the factory each week, and spare parts are shipped across the world to the dealer network.
