Combilift nominated in two 2020 IFOY Award categories
TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
Curtis introduces new one-size-fits-all high frequency TEMPO battery charger
A suitcase-sized multi-function high efficiency three phase HF charger for charging a range of batteries from a single unit. It’s up to 94% efficient and comes complete with a three-year warranty from Northampton based UK charger specialist, Curtis Instruments. TEMPOs will charge a range of
input voltages and ampere hour ratings from 36 to 48V and 72V to 80V, 10 to 130A in just two models. This is perfect for dealers as it offers true flexibility; easy programming from a single button on the front of the charger takes a matter of seconds and it means you stock just two chargers rather than a whole range. A special integrated desulphation mode helps keep batteries in top condition and ensures charging, even when the battery is deeply discharged.

More choice as Hyster Europe expands range
For the second year in a row Combilift is a finalist in the IFOY Awards – one of the most prestigious and hotly contested international awards in the materials handling industry. The company is the only manufacturer to have two of its products nominated for a 2020 IFOY Award (International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year) which honours the best products and solutions of the year.
The Combi-CBE4 is a finalist in the Special Vehicle Category. This 4000kg capacity electric powered, all-wheel drive forklift incorporates compact counterbalance design with multidirectional capability for the versatile handling of mixed sized loads. It features the company’s internationally patented independent electric traction (EP.2956350) which provides all front and rear drive wheels with 100 per cent traction control, therefore negating the need for differential lock on slippery surfaces. By inputting the wheel-base parameters, the traction commands are calculated by the control system. As the truck drives and steers, the speed and rotational direction of the wheels are controlled independently, allowing the truck to negotiate tight turns with no tyre wear.
The Combi-CS has been nominated in the Warehouse Truck Lowlifter Category. It is the only
pedestrian counterbalance stacker that will operate in a conventional reach truck aisle for space saving and productive storage and handling. It features Combilift’s unique, internationally patented and award winning multi-position tiller arm which can be turned to the left or right of the unit to position the rear drive wheel, allowing the operator to remain at the side of the machine rather than at the rear as is the case with other pedestrian stackers. This ensures optimum visibility of the load and surroundings as well as guaranteeing maximum safety in areas where other personnel or members of the public may be present.
The competition will enter its next round when finalists undergo the IFOY audit and innovation check
by industry experts in mid-February in Hanover, Germany. 27 journalists from leading logistics media from 19 countries will also personally test and evaluate the nominated equipment for qualities such as technology, design, ergonomics, safety, marketability, customer benefit and sustainability.
“Following the nomination of the Combi-PPT powered pallet truck last year, we are delighted that the
IFOY committee has recognised two of our innovative products as being worthy of finalist status in 2020,” said Combilift CEO and Co-founder Martin McVicar.
Blind plates for sealing enclosure openings
CONTA-CLIP adds new KDS-BP blind plates to the range of accessories for its proven KES cable entry and KDS cable feedthrough systems. The black screw-on blind plates are designed for quickly and reliably closing pre-configured enclosure openings with standard dimensions of 86 mm x 36 mm and 112 mm x 36 mm. The plates made of impact-resistant PA 6.6 feature an all-round injected TPE gasket. They protect the inside of machines or control cabinets from dust and strong jet water according to IP66.
KDS/KES-VS sealing plugs
CONTA-CLIP expands its range of accessories for the KDS and KES cable management systems, adding sealing plugs. The KDS/KES-VS plugs have a mushroom head that prevents complete insertion and allows for easy removal. They are available in diameters between 1.5 mm and 22 mm. The sealing plugs provide flexible and reliable sealing of feedthrough channels according to protection degree IP66.

Hyster Europe is expanding customer choice with the launch of a new series of general-purpose counterbalance forklifts and warehouse trucks, designed to meet the real-world needs of a wide range of operations. “The new Hyster®
UT series gives businesses more ways to
select the right truck for their budget and their needs,” says Rob O’Donoghue, Director Solutions - Europe, Middle East and Africa for Hyster. “When matched with the right application and the right operating volume, businesses will find these trucks straight-forward, durable, reliable, and uncomplicated to maintain.” The UT range responds to a growing market demand for affordably priced trucks that get the job done
and are particularly suitable for lower intensity applications. The first available models in the series include H2.0-3.5 UT IC counterbalance lift trucks, with a capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes, the P2.0UT S Platform Pallet Truck and the S1.5UT Pedestrian Stacker.
