and watch the design process in action
during a tour of the premises. Visits to the
assembly lines gave an insight into the
production processes of the wide range of
Combilift models available.
Visitors had the chance to see the Combi-
CB in action at the premises of one of
the first customers to sign up for this new
model. Maurice Graham Builders’ Providers
uses a 4t conventional Combilift for handling
packs of timber and bundles of steel.
In another area, pallet racking is used for
the storage of other products such as pallets
of cement and packs of insulated board and
panel products. The versatility of the new
all-round Combi-CB lends itself perfectly to
such a scenario as it copes easily with the
palletised goods. It can also be deployed for
handling longer products such as boards or
pipes when necessary.

Explaining the new product launch, managing
director Mr Martin McVicar says, “We noticed
that there was a sizeable number of potential
clients who handled mainly palletised loads,
and just a small amount of long product, so a
conventional Combilift was not the answer for
them. The Combi-CB enables space saving
4-way handling of both palletised goods and
long loads.”
This new model is set to increase Combilift’s
turnover by €10m during 2009, and create
20 additional jobs, on top of the 200 currently
employed. In preparation, Combilift has
expanded its premises by 20,000ft² to cope
with the additional volume of output.
