A multidirectional Forklift is a forklift which can travel 4 ways (Forward, Backwards and sideways) by turning its wheel, providing for all wheel drive manoeuvrability.
Multidirectional Forklifts are ideal for transporting long loads such as timber or steel beams and palletised loads for example through narrow aisles, tight factories and small yards.
The hardworking, versatile design of Combilift’s multidirectional range combines the advantages of a counterbalanced forklift, side loader and very narrow aisle (VNA) truck in one vehicle, for a complete solution with electric, diesel or lpg engines with both indoor and outdoor capabilities.

With lift capacities up to 1,500 kg, the versatility to work indoors or out, our products can cater for anything from small storerooms to medium-sized warehouses and specialist applications.
Straddle Carriers
What is a Straddle Carrier?
A straddle carrier or straddle truck is a freight-carrying vehicle that carries its load underneath by “straddling” it, rather than carrying it on top like a conventional truck. The advantage of the straddle carrier is its ability to load and unload without the assistance of cranes or forklifts
Combilift’s range of straddle carriers and mobile gantry provide safe, efficient solutions for even the most extreme load handling situations. Distribution, shipping, aerospace, steel fabricators, wind turbines and precast concrete – there’s no load too large or heavy for these workhorses.
