One of Combilift’s largest capacity models to date – a 28t capacity Straddle Carrier (Combi-SC) – is now in operation at Caledonian Modular’s site in Newark near Nottingham, ensuring much more efficient and safe transportation of finished modules from the manufacturing facilities to the storage yards.

Castorama Poland uses over 45 Aisle-Master trucks, now standard in new depots for their narrow aisle and indoor-outdoor versatility. These trucks boost storage by allowing extra aisles and lift up to 5.5m, streamlining operations by handling deliveries directly to racking.

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.

Imorex Shipping Services now handles 110 containers a week—up from 70—thanks to its Combilift Straddle Carrier. Replacing forklifts and ramps, the SC sped up loading, improved safety, and proved ideal for the company’s compact yard with its manoeuvrability, simple design, and reliable performance.

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.

Combilift’s wide range of multidirectional forklifts has enabled Kerschbaum-Haus GmbH a 120-year-old timber manufacturer in Bavaria to streamline the handling of varied timber products across its site. Initially replacing counterbalance trucks and sideloaders, the company started with a 6t C6000XL to transport timber packs and large structural elements. Now, five customised Combilift models, with capacities from 3 to 14 tonnes, support daily operations, enhancing safety and efficiency.

Stamco has upgraded its St Leonards on Sea site with seven Combilift 4WSLs and a C3000 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.
