With around fifteen exhibits at this year’s IMHX, visitors
to the four Combilift and Aisle Master stands will be spoilt for choice. Some
of the company’s larger products such as the Combi-SC Straddle Carrier will be
on show in the outdoor area, and the stands just inside the entrance to Hall 18
will feature a wide variety of customised, innovative handling solutions that
are hallmarks of this Irish manufacturer. Two new products are making their UK
show debuts at IMHX: the Combi-PPT powered pallet truck and the Combi-CSS Container
Slip-Sheet.
The Combi-CSS was designed for quicker and easier mechanised
loading of long products into containers. It is a 30,000 kg capacity low free-standing
platform with a dual-directional motor-driven pulling mechanism, on which a
steel sheet rests. A full load can be prepared on the sheet which is then
guided into the container and a 20’ container can be loaded in just three
minutes. When fully loaded, a hydraulic rear barrier gate swings across the
container opening and is locked in place. This holds the material within the
container while the metal sheet is slipped out from underneath it.
The Combi-PPT, which won the Safety Category of the FLTA
Awards for Excellence 2019, is a high performance pedestrian operated powered
pallet truck, with capacities from 3,000kg up to 16,000kg. It enables very
large and bulky products to be manoeuvred with ease in confined spaces, ensuring maximum safety when working in areas
where other personnel are present, in production plants for example. It
features Combilift’s unique, patented multi-position tiller arm that is used in
all the company’s pedestrian models. This incorporates tiller and operator
offset position with the touch of a button, allowing for excellent visibility and
reducing crush risk to the operator.
Exhibits will also include small pedestrian stacker trucks, variants
of the original multidirectional C-Series, stand-on narrow aisle forklifts, the
heavy duty XL range, Combi-CB counterbalance design 4-way models and Aisle Master
articulated forklifts.
Managing Director and CEO Martin McVicar comments: “We have
an even larger stand space than at the last event which allows us to showcase our
ever growing range and we will be sticking to our very successful IMHX formula
– a mix of new products, live demos and entertainment!”
