Ferguson Modular in North East Scotland now uses a Combilift Straddle Carrier to safely and efficiently handle accommodation modules, replacing cranes and forklifts. The new system cuts lift times from over an hour to minutes, reduces manpower needs, and avoids weather-related delays.

Frank H. Dale has streamlined loading with a 35t Combilift Straddle Carrier, cutting forklift movements and improving safety. The Combi-SC handles irregular steel loads efficiently, stores materials when projects are delayed, and allows quick trailer loading, reducing shift times from hours to under one.

James Latham now runs around 50 Combilift 4-way forklifts across its 10 UK depots, including six new 4t models at its Leeds site. Replacing older sideloaders and counterbalance trucks, the switch improved storage and handling, with Leeds achieving 39% more capacity by racking to 9.3m and using guided aisles in a smaller footprint.

Keyo Agricultural Services has added 12 Combi-RT forklifts to support poultry handling at Hook 2 Sisters’ Foxhills plant. Designed with Combilift for low-stress, efficient live bird transport, the RTs have proven highly reliable. Keyo now operates 46 units, replacing older forklifts to meet the demands of handling up to 2.4 million birds weekly.

Cheshire Mouldings has boosted storage capacity by 50% since switching to Combilift trucks. The latest addition a C30000 Combi-ST stand-on model allows aisle widths as narrow as 2.1m, doubling usable space in parts of the warehouse. Products like stair parts and handrails are now stored up to 6.8m high, effectively turning 8,000ft² into 16,000ft². The 4-way functionality and guided aisle system improve handling, safety, and efficiency.

Stamco has upgraded its St Leonards on Sea site with seven Combilift 4WSLs and a C30000 EST, replacing older forklifts in its 19-truck fleet. Chosen for their superior performance during trials, the 4WSLs handle heavy 6m timber packs across the sloped 5.5-acre site with ease. Their JCB axle and automatic locking differential ensure reliable traction, even in wet conditions.

DM Food Group uses the compact Combi-WR to maximise space in its cold storage facility in Lincolnshire, operating efficiently at -18°C. As production has grown, so has the need for safe, space-saving handling of standard and euro pallets. The pedestrian truck’s easy operation suits narrow aisles and simplifies training, making it ideal for busy, confined freezer environments.
