The provider of multi-directional forklifts and long load handling will have a range of machines on display, showcasing its manoeuvrability for greater operator safety and product protection.

Its qualified team will be on hand to listen to your specific needs and provide the best materials handling solution tailored to your business.

At the stand will be the Combi-CB70E, a compact, electric and counterbalance multi-directional forklift designed to manage long loads. It has a patented swivel seat allowing the driver to turn left or right when reversing.

Another range on the floor will be Combilift’s versatile Aisle Master range. The articulated VNA machines can create up to 50 per cent more storage space due to their ability to operate in aisles as narrow as 1.6 metres. The Combi WR Walkie Reach Stacker is one example, featuring the company’s patented multi-position tiller.

Visit Combilift at Stand A172. APPEX is taking place on 12-15 March at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. Free registration is open now.
