TRAILERS
One
of
the
fastest
growing
forklift
manufacturers,
Combilift Ltd, is seeing an increased efficiency in the delivery
of its products after choosing Cartwright trailers.
Combilift, based at their new production facility and global
headquarters in Monaghan, Ireland, recently took delivery of its
first step frame forklift curtainsider trailer from Cartwright.
Combilift’s range incorporates multi-directional forklifts, side
loaders, narrow aisle trucks and pedestrian stackers. The current
yearly output stands at around 6,000 units, which are exported
to 85 countries. The new trailer, which has been built to the high
standard for which Cartwright products are renowned, will be used
for transporting products around Ireland for delivering customer
orders or for product demonstrations so reliability and longevity is
key.
The move away from using a standard trailer was prompted partly
by the continued diversification of Combilift’s range and the need
for a vehicle that could cope with the varying sizes and wheel
configurations of its models. These range from small one tonne
walk-behind trucks to heavy duty three wheel, four-way forklifts
with capacities of up to 25 tonnes.
Andy Jarvis of the Cartwright Group commented: “Combilift is well
known in its sector for the high level of customisation it offers to
its clients and we worked closely with the team in Monaghan to
ensure that our trailer was also customised to meet its bespoke
requirements. For example, the internal ramp length was extended
to create a shallow angle to allow clear entry and exit of the
Combilift WR-4 machine.”
The trailer will be operating on a daily basis and, depending on
customer orders, it can accommodate up to eight walk behind
models, four Aisle Master articulated narrow aisle trucks, three
four-tonne multidirectional models or two side loaders.
“This is a more efficient way of delivering the goods compared with
using a standard loader and ensures that our products are clean
and in perfect condition when they arrive at their destination,” said
a Combilift spokesperson.
