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.
Designed specifically for environments where access is limited or dual-side loading is not feasible, the Combi Load Xtender offers a versatile and powerful option for businesses operating in tight logistics zones, congested yards, or facilities with restricted trailer access. It is especially valuable for operations involving rail wagons or loading bays that offer only single-side access.
The Combi Load Xtender’s ultra-low mechanism height ensures seamless operation beneath standard trailer beds, avoiding any structural interference while maintaining full functionality. Its open-frame pantograph design provides operators with excellent visibility during loading and unloading, allowing for more accurate and safer handling of goods.
Safety is a core focus of the Xtender’s design. By allowing operators to securely position loads against the far, closed side of a trailer, it significantly reduces the risk of products toppling and enhances personnel safety by minimising their exposure to active traffic zones. Its robust construction is built to withstand demanding industrial environments, and Combilift has filed patents for the design in both Europe and the United States.
The introduction of the Combi Load Xtender marks a significant advancement in logistics technology. It offers a practical, efficient, and safe solution to a long-standing challenge — enabling full-scale, one-side loading in a wide range of real-world scenarios. With this launch, Combilift reinforces its commitment to reshaping the future of material handling with innovation that delivers real-world impact.
