Irish specialist handling manufacturer Combilift will be premiering two new products among its 15 or so exhibits at this year’s IMHX. The Combi-CSS container slip-sheet was designed for quicker and easier container loading. This 30,000kg capacity low free-standing platform features a dual-directional hydraulic pulling mechanism, on which a steel sheet rests. A full load can be prepared on the sheet which is then guided into the container – taking just three minutes for a 20 ft container. 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 sheet is slipped out from underneath it.
The Combi-PPT, which won the Safety Category of the FLTA Awards 2019, is a pedestrian operated powered pallet truck with capacities from 3,000kg to 16,000kg. Very large and bulky products can be easily manoeuvred in confined spaces, ensuring maximum safety in areas where other personnel are present. 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.
