Combilift’s expansion drive

The Ireland-based, international lifting equipment supplier has launched a new product, Combi-LC, to meet the load handling demands of largescale offshore wind turbine manufacturers 

The straddle carrier article in the January 2022 edition of WorldCargo News (p17-18) included a brief description of Combi-XC (Combilift Xpress), a straddle carrier (SC) from Ireland-based Combilift in operation at the Port of Lyttelton, New Zealand.

The cancellation of trade shows in 2020 made it very difficult for the Ireland-based handling equipment manufacturer to promote its widespan straddle carrier for low throughput intermodal handling

The Irish lift truck builder has a global reach, and has come up with a pro-active response to the Covid-19 crisis

The niche markets for low-throughput container handling equipment are growing, as some operations scale up, and some equipment types scale down

Forklift truck and materials handling equipment specialist Combilift has officially opened its new plant in Monaghan, Ireland
