CombiLift Forklifts Are Masters of Moving Metal

Efficiency is the key to keeping your business rocking and rolling.
That’s why CombiLifts are so metal for metal applications. These machines take efficiency to a whole new level, providing three forklifts in one. For heavy-duty applications with long or oddly shaped loads like metal handling, they’re tough to beat.
Read on to learn why CombiLift is so popular and how their forklifts can improve your business.
The Secret to CombiLift Dominance
There's a secret sauce to CombiLift's success, and it's called maneuverability.
CombiLift multi-directional forklifts feature four-way movement. Forklifts like the CombiLift C6000 can move forward, backward, and sideways, meaning the fork truck doesn’t have to turn to move in and out of aisles or narrow corridors. This makes CombiLift forklifts masters of mobility, far outstripping traditional counterbalance forklifts.
Four-way movement makes these forklifts ideal for transporting long or oddly shaped loads throughout any facility.
Three Forklifts in One
CombiLift forklifts are essentially three forklifts in one.
Each does the job of a counterbalance, narrow aisle, and sideloader forklift. Versatility like this comes with numerous benefits. Each forklift reduces your fleet size, reducing maintenance costs and maximizing ROI. Likewise, maximized maneuverability improves operational safety, protecting your team and assets.
However, there are three other benefits that make CombiLift forklifts stand out for metal handling applications.
No Double Lifting
Productivity suffers when you need multiple forklifts to complete the job.
With traditional paradigms, metal often requires double lifting, where one forklift picks the steel or aluminum before passing it off to another for transport. CombiLifts eliminate that duplication of efforts. Their versatility allows one truck to pick and deliver materials, speeding up material handling.
Faster handling equates to improved productivity and improves your bottom line.
Strength and Performance
CombiLifts have the power that moving metal requires.
Transporting metal isn't like picking up pillows. It requires the power to lift heavy-duty loads repeatedly all day long. The CombiLift line includes models with lifting capacities ranging from 3,300 lbs to 180,000 lbs.
That is the kind of power you need to keep your raw materials flowing throughout each shift.
Improved Storage Capacity
Perhaps the biggest benefit of these forklifts is improved storage capacity in your warehouse.
Metals like aluminum, steel, and rebar often come in long cylinders, requiring cantilever racking. A traditional forklift needs room to turn after unloading a rack, either limiting the length of the metal or wasting valuable floor space. Either way, you’re losing out.
CombiLift forklifts don’t need to turn.
Four-way movement allows these forklifts to navigate standard and even narrow aisles with long loads. Mobility like that enables you to maximize your storage space. In fact, using a CombiLift instead of a traditional forklift can improve storage space by 50%.
CombiLifts let you get the most out of your facility.
