Combilift has reached a landmark moment in its manufacturing journey: the production of its 100,000th multidirectional forklift, a milestone that underlines the scale of the Irish company’s growth and its global reputation for specialised materials-handling solutions.
May 2025, Hannover – At the forefront of material handling innovation, Combilift has once again raised the bar with the debut of its latest breakthrough: the Combi Load Xtender. Launched at Ligna 2025, this revolutionary pantograph-style load extender is designed to transform how businesses manage truck and container loading, especially in tight, space-restricted environments.
This week saw a landmark celebration at Combilift’s global headquarters in Monaghan, marking the 10th anniversary of the highly successful OEM Engineering Traineeship—a collaborative initiative between Combilift and the Cavan and Monaghan Education and Training Board (CMETB). The event, which welcomed past graduates, current trainees and local educators, underscored the programme’s evolution from a local skills initiative to a cornerstone of regional industrial development.
Combilift, the global leader in material handling solutions, has been awarded Company of the Year at the prestigious Business & Finance Awards 2024, in association with KPMG Ireland. This remarkable achievement marks Combilift’s 9th major win in the last three months, solidifying its position as an industry leader.
Combilift has expanded its electric sideloader offering with the launch of the Combi-FSE 8000, an 8-tonne capacity, four-wheel electric model built for high-capacity, emission-free handling of long and bulky loads.
Combilift has secured its third Red Dot Design Award win with the Combi-CB70E, a newly launched 7-ton electric multidirectional counterbalance forklift created to tackle heavy-duty, long-load handling with a stronger focus on sustainability.
