Make the most of it!

With the price of land getting more and more expensive by the minute, making the most of your existing warehousing facilities is crucial and is also the most cost-effective solution when companies are considering expanding their business. Optimising your warehouse space is even more critical when it comes to cold storage. In addition to the extremely high costs of constructing a new facility, refrigerating a larger area results in further energy expenses.

Marking 25 years in business in 2023, Irish material handling specialist Combilift has the expertise to assist your business in maximising the capacity, safety, and efficiency of your warehouse and storage facilities. CEO and Co-founder Martin McVicar: “We have always seen Combilift as much more than a designer and manufacturer of forklifts and other handling solutions. Space is one of the most valuable assets our customers possess, and if our trucks can make it work better for them in terms of storage density then everyone benefits. The ongoing demand for warehouse space coupled with ever-rising business costs means that space optimisation is now more important than ever. Additional benefits of course also include avoiding the operational headache for management and the workforce of relocating to new premises, the lack of bureaucracy associated with new builds or extensions, and the expense of leasing extra offsite storage.”

Combilift has a team of very experienced design engineers who can provide your company with a free-of-charge warehouse design and layout service. This service demonstrates how warehouse space can be configured according to the capabilities of Combilift’s products, which in some cases can double available space.

By narrowing your aisles and making use of your vertical (and free!) airspace, companies can increase up to 50% of their storage capacity and avoid the excessively expensive costs of building a new facility. Combilift’s wide range of custom-made forklifts offer the perfect combination of capabilities and technology necessary to meet the demands of the fast-paced environment found in warehouses.

Serving as an all-in-one warehousing solution, the Aisle Master improves offloading, handling, and storage of your products in aisles as narrow as 1.6m and with lift heights of up to 15m. Aisle Master VNA articulated forklift trucks are robust, built-to-last and designed to work both indoors and outdoors. Additionally, the Aisle Master’s cold store model is designed to keep the drivers warm in cold climates and reduce the time needed for breaks, which leads to increased productivity. It offers a fully enclosed, high-visibility cabin with double-glazed heated windows that eliminate the build-up of condensation when driving between different temperatures and in and out of the cold room.

Our range of pedestrian stackers, the Combi-CS, the Combi-WR and the Combi-WR4, are equipped with Combilift’s patented multi-position tiller arm, which ensures maximum safety for the operator and pedestrians in the vicinity. The tiller can be rotated to the left or right and allows the rear wheel to be turned parallel to the chassis and vice versa at the push of a button. With this simple movement the operator remains in the safest position when working in narrow aisles: at the side of the stacker and not at the rear, as with other conventional pedestrian stackers. This reduces the risk of the operator being trapped between the forklift and the rack and ensures full visibility of the load and the surrounding area, which is of utmost importance.
