Company history

Combilift was establishied in Clontibret, Co Monaghan Ireland in 1998 by engineers Martin McVicar and Robert Moffett. With a combined engineering experience of over 40 years^{[citation needed]}, they used their knowledge and practical experience to create a new long-load forklift: The Combilift. In just ten years Combilift grew to be the global leader in the long-load handling market. Combilift products can be found in over 50 markets worldwide and there are over 10,000 units in operation.^{[citation needed]} www.combilift.com

Combilift Products

Combilift produces over 10 different products for the material handling industry but it was the C4000, combilifts first product that paved the way for the company's success. Whilst electric multidirectional forklifts were available it was the Combilifts rugged design and internal Combustion engine that set it apart.^{[citation needed]}

The Combilift C4000 was designed to take on the role currently occupied by conventional counterbalance and sideloader forklifts. Its design allowed the C4000 to handle palletised loads and long awkward loads with ease. The benefits of replacing 2 conventional forklifts with 1 combilift was a major benefit as was the increased safety for operators, indoor and outdoor capabilities and the range of customisation achieveable. The combilifts guided aisle system and warehouse layout department helped to provided customers with the complete package when it came to material handling and storage. In some cases the combination of the two could increase a companies storage by up to 100% with out any increase in available storage space.^{[citation needed]}
