The COMBi-CB70E in action
The new generation of HUBTEX’s FluX handles both pallet and long-load transport in a single vehicle
◄ Further notable features are the large rear wheel and rubber tyres on all three wheels. This means that this model is not restricted to super flat floors and is eminently suitable for working indoors and out, ensuring that semi-rough terrain is no impediment to reliable operation. And for quicker battery changeover during heavy shifts, two new easy-change roll-out batteries are provided (Overall Design Copyright 015019216-0001)
The Combi-CUBE launch was swiftly followed by that of the Combi-CB70E at Ligna in Hannover in May.
This model, also electric and also in the high-vis Combi-green livery, claims the distinction of being the shortest 7t capacity counterbalance truck on the market whilst also benefitting from multi-directional ability, enabling the versatile space-saving handling of both long and bulky loads.
Design features incorporated into the high- capacity Combi-CB70E such as its large super- elastic tyres and compact wheelbase make it ideally suited for the operational demands of the timber industry. With a 7,000kg/15,500lb lift capacity, this model benefits from an impressively small footprint as well as exceptional manoeuvrability meaning that it can easily move bulky loads of timber around in confined spaces.
Features in the spacious cab include generous glazing for excellent all-round visibility, the tilting steering column, hydraulic steering and the Grammer MSG65 seat.
Combilift says that what sets the Combi-
CB70E apart from other forklifts is its gas strut suspension cab, which uses components such as those found in large scale industrial machinery with cab suspension. Combined with the super-elastic tyres, this guarantees the smoothest of rides over uneven or less than perfect ground conditions such as those typically experienced in lumber yards. Combilift’s newly developed, patent pending Auto Swivel Seat was also premiered at the Ligna show. This optional feature automatically engages and swivels the seat and armrest 15° to the right or left to accord with the direction of travel selected by the operator - reducing driver strain, particularly when travelling in reverse.
