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.

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.

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.

Cheshire Mouldings has boosted storage capacity by 50% since switching to Combilift trucks. The latest addition a C3000 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.

JT, the UK’s top shower tray manufacturer, was the first to put Combilift’s new Combi-CS pedestrian stacker into action, following its IMHX launch. With production nearly doubling, the compact, 1000kg-capacity stacker is ideal for JT’s narrow aisles and varied pallet sizes. Its multi-position tiller arm enhances safety by allowing side operation and full visibility. JT’s Warehouse Manager called it “the best piece of kit on site,” praising its build quality

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.
