rish materials handling specialist Combilift has officially launched its latest product, the Combi-XLE, as a further addition to its range of electric models. Combilift CEO and Co-Founder Martin McVicar says the product is in line with a growing demand for electric powered equipment. “The vehicle allows clients to optimise their warehouse space,” Martin says. “Maximising the warehouse footprint is key to reducing carbon emissions for any business. The multidirectional forklift
with up to five-tonne lift capacity, combines emission-free operation with powerful performance for a wide range of industries and applications.” The original engine powered XL C-Series model was developed to address the requirements of tough working environments such as those in the timber, concrete and steel sectors. The new Combi-XLE incorporates the same key design features as its earlier counterpart such as high ground clearance, large cushioned front and
rear tires and a spacious cab, allowing smooth operation on semi rough terrain whilst offering a high level of driver comfort. With sustainability ever higher on the agenda, Combilift further helps its customers achieve their environmental goals with its versatile “3 forklifts in 1” models, which work inside and out, reducing fleet size and thereby their carbon footprint. Martin says a hallmark of Combilift products is the ability to increase storage MHD NOVEMBER 2021 | 27
