Engines are available in electric or battery, gas or LPG and diesel and the C-Series Combilifts could work within guided aisles as narrow as 210 centimetres wide.
Combilift Straddle Carriers provide the ability to transport heavy, oversized cargo such as fully loaded containers which weigh as much as 35 tons. These loads can be transported all around a facility or work site and the Combilift Straddle Carrier could lift fully loaded containers where needed, whether it be from the ground to the trailer, from trailer to trailer or from the trailer to the ground. These types of equipment are a cost-effective, efficient solution for many shipping, haulage, and distribution businesses, even those with low throughput levels.
The SL-Series side-loaders are machines capable of driving in four directions thanks to its multi-directional steering. This hydrostatic, all-wheel drive forklift can help businesses in a lot of ways, one of which is to allow facilities to have aisles that are narrower. It also allows the capability to block or bilk stack by driving forward. This highly manoeuvrable kind of truck is often considered to be a better choice as opposed to numerous traditional sit-down sideloaders because of the many additional features and capabilities.
