LIGHTENING THE LOAD


The handling sector continues to innovate and several new forklift models have been brought to the market in the last few months


Forklift manufacturers continue to bring new models to market with many of them launching multiple options, not just one. Combilift is a case in point. Celebrating 25 years of innovation, the company is planning to ensure that 2023 will be a year to remember by launching multiple products across various exhibitions globally. The first of these was the Combi-CUBE, which was launched at the LogiMAT International Intralogistics show in Stuttgart in April.


This new electric model incorporates a host of technological and design features that not only enhance handling procedures but also offer a high level of driver comfort. Immediately noticeable is the new vibrant


colour. The company says this bold fresh ‘high-vis’ Combi-green shade will contribute to improved safety as the trucks will be easily visible in their operational environment. Aside from optics, however, a focus is on a number of ergonomic features. The driver’s position in the centre of the cab offers generous room and excellent all-round visibility. The angle of the telescopic steering column can be adjusted and the Grammer MSG65 seat, combined with hydraulic cabin mounts guarantees a comfortable ride. An adjustable arm rest is mounted to the seat suspension which incorporates a multi-function joystick and an LCD colour touch screen.

Combilift’s unique dynamic 360° steering that enables seamless directional change while on the move can be integrated into the Combi-CUBE as an optional extra, making the counterbalance forklift even more manoeuvrable. ►
