Anthony, as the Sales Director for USA, UK, & Ireland, can you introduce us to what’s innovative at Combilift for the North American market?

Anthony Rooney: I’m thrilled to talk about our latest innovation, the COMBI-CB70E. It’s designed with a 15,500 pounds capacity, catering specifically to industries that handle long loads, enhancing safety and efficiency in product delivery. This all-electric machine is versatile for both indoor and outdoor use, boasting multi-directional capabilities for easy maneuvering of long loads.

Martin, as Co-Founder & CEO, what inspired the design and functionality of the COMBI-CB70E?

Martin McVicar: Our inspiration came from understanding the nuanced needs of our clients. The design, especially the multi-directional capability and the ergonomic and aerodynamic cab, is influenced by our commitment to operator comfort and safety. We borrowed the suspension concept from the agricultural industry, applying it to this industrial vehicle to ensure it performs exceptionally well, even on unpaved job sites.

Anthony, how does Combilift’s battery technology stand out in the market?

The COMBI-CB70E is equipped with a battery system that supports a full 10-hour shift, surpassing many competitors in efficiency and operational longevity. It’s designed for easy battery changing, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum productivity.

Martin, can you elaborate on the unique load handling and operational advantages of the COMBI-CB70E?

Our mast design is a game-changer, maintaining the load’s center regardless of the lift height, which significantly reduces strain on the machinery and increases safety. With features like the side shift on brass bushings and hydraulic fork positioner, it’s tailored for handling heavy and awkward loads more efficiently than standard forklifts.

Anthony, beyond the CB70E model, what other options does Combilift offer?

We have a diverse range, including the more compact CombiLift CB and C-Series, catering to different capacities from 6,000 to 55,000 pounds. These models retain the key feature of multi-directional movement, essential for safe and efficient handling of long loads across various industries.

Martin, how does Combilift help optimize warehouse operations?

Our AisleMaster model, for instance, is designed for maximizing storage density, capable of operating in narrow aisles and increasing pallet storage within the same warehouse footprint. We also offer a free warehouse design feedback service, showing clients how our equipment can enhance their storage capacity and, by extension, their operation’s efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
