Combilift

In 25th anniversary year special event, lift truck provider with focus on long-load handling also highlights autonomous truck, as well as a telematics solution. Combilift partnered with Siemens Gamesa on its Combi-LC, which moves wind turbine blades and towers. Combilift expects to generate over €50m in revenue per year in the wind sector market segment by 2026.

As part of Combilift’s (Booth N6936) celebrations for its 25th anniversary, the Irish materials handling specialist announced that it is donating its 75,000th truck - an Aisle Master articulated forklift - to Convoy of Hope, a non-profit humanitarian and disaster relief organization.

Warehouse space costs have skyrocketed, so more companies want to maximize existing space by moving to narrow aisle configurations. However, making that transition effectively can benefit from some layout and material flow expertise, not just choosing appropriate equipment.

OneCharge (Booth C6085) and Combilift USA (Booth B7747) announced a strategic partnership Monday in which OneCharge is supplying Combilift with advanced lithium motive power solutions for its customers and its network.
