COMBI-LC

The Combilift-LC is a cutting-edge solution tailored for the aerospace industry, designed to handle large and delicate components such as fuselage sections, wings, and structural assemblies. It can transport loads up to 115 metres long and 70 tonnes in weight over distances of up to 5 kilometres. Using two remote-controlled units with adjustable chassis beds in master-slave mode, the system ensures precise, safe, and efficient handling customised to the specific size and weight of aerospace components.

COMBI-MG

The COMBi-MG is perfectly suited for the aerospace industry, offering high customisability to handle a wide range of large and sensitive components. It can be built to precise dimensions to meet the specific requirements of aircraft manufacturing and maintenance, and fitted with a variety of lifting accessories. This flexibility allows it to safely and efficiently transport parts such as fuselage sections, wings, and engine components within production and assembly facilities.

COMBI-SC

Moving large aerospace components can be complex, time-consuming, and costly. The Combi-SC offers a more efficient alternative to traditional heavy handling equipment like forklifts, reach trucks, or mobile cranes, providing complete independence when transporting loads on site. This improves operational flexibility, reduces the need for complex rigging, and streamlines logistics, ultimately lowering project costs and enhancing productivity in aerospace environments.

aisle master

Aisle Master provides versatile articulated forklifts designed to optimise storage for the green energy sector. These forklifts navigate narrow aisles with ease, maximising space for solar panels, battery packs, and other renewable energy components while ensuring safe, efficient handling. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, Aisle Master forklifts boost productivity and streamline material flow across a wide range of green energy projects.

combi-cb

The innovative Combi-CB is a multidirectional counterbalance forklift designed for the green energy sector. More compact than conventional forklifts, it handles palletised loads and long components like wind turbine blades or solar panel crates in sideways mode. This versatility makes it perfect for navigating tight spaces, enhancing handling efficiency and improving workflow across renewable energy applications.

COMBI-WR4

The first purpose-built 4-way pedestrian reach stacker combines multi-directional travel with innovative features for smooth operation in the green energy sector. It excels at handling components like solar panels and battery packs, ensuring efficient movement and storage in tight and challenging spaces.

If you need additional information, please get in touch.

Aerospace facilities handle everything from aircraft components and tooling to large fuselage sections and wings. Combilift solutions offer capacities from 5,000lbs to 55,000lbs, with custom handling solutions available for loads up to 150 tonnes. This broad capacity range helps aerospace manufacturers safely transport oversized, high-value components while maintaining operational efficiency.

Aerospace operations require specialised equipment capable of transporting long, delicate and oversized loads. Combilift offers C-Series multidirectional forklifts, Combi-CB forklifts, straddle carriers, mobile gantries and load carriers. These solutions provide precise manoeuvrability and load control when handling aircraft structures, tooling and aerospace assemblies.

The ideal power option depends on the operating environment. Electric forklifts are popular in aerospace manufacturing facilities due to low emissions and quieter operation. LPG models offer flexibility across mixed-use environments, while diesel units are often selected for demanding outdoor applications. Combilift provides electric, LPG and diesel-powered solutions for aerospace logistics and manufacturing operations.

Battery runtime depends on factors such as load weight, travel distance and daily usage patterns. Modern Combilift electric forklifts are engineered to support full-shift aerospace manufacturing and warehouse operations. Proper charging schedules and battery management systems help maximise uptime while reducing energy costs and supporting sustainable aerospace production.

Many aerospace facilities rely on vertical storage to maximise warehouse capacity. Combilift solutions offer lift heights of up to 12 metres, allowing operators to safely store and retrieve large components and aviation materials. This enables aerospace manufacturers to improve storage density while maintaining accessibility and safe material handling procedures.

Aircraft parts are often large, expensive and highly damage-sensitive. Combilift equipment includes high-visibility operator positions, precise multidirectional controls, stable load support systems and remote-control options. These features help reduce handling risks, improve load accuracy and provide greater control when transporting aerospace components through production and storage facilities.

Aerospace manufacturers frequently require specialised handling solutions for irregularly shaped parts. Combilift offers standard forks, custom cradles, gantry lifting accessories and straddle carrier attachments. These solutions help securely transport wings, fuselage sections, tooling and other aviation components while minimising the risk of damage during movement.

Yes. Aerospace operations often involve moving components between manufacturing facilities, hangars, storage areas and outdoor apron locations. Combilift equipment is designed to operate efficiently in both indoor and outdoor environments, providing flexibility across the entire aerospace supply chain.

Large aerospace components can quickly consume valuable warehouse space. Combilift multidirectional forklifts allow operators to work in narrower aisles while maintaining safe handling of long and oversized loads. This helps increase storage density, improve inventory organisation and maximise the use of existing aerospace facilities.

The aerospace sector regularly handles large, high-value and damage-sensitive components such as wings, fuselage sections and specialist tooling. These oversized loads require exceptional precision, visibility and stability during transport. Combilift solutions are designed to overcome these challenges through specialised load handling, multidirectional movement and custom lifting systems that improve safety, productivity and operational control.
