Materials handling solutions for the timber industry

FOR THE first time Combilift Australia coupled with Adaptalift Hyster will be exhibiting at AUSTimber 2012 in Mount Gambier, 29-31 March. Visit Combilift Australia on stand S19 in the outdoor area where there will be various products on show designed and built specifically for the timber industries needs and applications in mind.
Coupled with the Hyster product, which has been synonymous with the timber industry for many decades, the Agria and Combilift products complete an impressive portfolio, providing alternatives when standard products fail to meet customer requirements.
The Agria
The European built Agria, is a tough, rough-terrain 4WD forklift that is specifically designed to work in difficult conditions, especially where rough terrain or limited access defeats other machines. It excels in any application from agricultural, mining and construction to working off the back of a brick truck. Competitively priced and available throughout Australia from Combilift Australia’s national distributor Adaptalift Hyster, there are now 5 models to choose from with capacities ranging from 1600kg up to 3000kg and lift heights up to 6m.
The Agria is built to work around the clock with ample power supplied by either a Deutz or Perkins diesel engine. Driver comfort and ease of operation are important features of the Agria, with excellent visibility due to the high mounted driver’s cabin. Hydrostatic transmission and steering and a double service brake system make the Agria an excellent forklift to operate. Sideshift is fitted as standard. Suitable for loading and unloading road trucks it has no problems negotiating the tightest or steepest truck ramps and difficult terrain areas.
Its ease of serviceability and robust construction make it a reliable practical choice when you need to go where a standard forklift will not. The Agria is ISO 9001:2000 certified, following established protocols of quality in every phase of production, through all aspects of manufacture from the reception of the raw materials to the final product.
The Combi-CB
The latest incarnation from world leading 4-way forklift manufacturer Combilift, is the market leading Combi-CB, bringing to the market a multidirectional forklift in a compact conventional layout, the perfect solution for both palletised and long load handling issues.
The new innovative Combi-CB (counterbalance) will bring many advantages to customers who today may be using a combination of standard conventional counter-balance forklifts, reach trucks, side loaders, or electric 4-way forklifts. Customers have realised that replacing a combination of these forklifts with just one Combilift, capable of performing multiple tasks both indoors and out not only increases safety but saves on time and costs.
The Combi-CB now with capacities of up to 4000kg, is available in a variety of fuel types including LPG, Battery Electric and Diesel with lift heights up to 7.5m. Its rubber tyres give the advantage of indoor/outdoor capabilities, the standard 1,400mm wide fork carriage with integrated fork positioner offers excellent support for handling long products while a fully enclosed cabin with heater can be offered to accommodate harsh/wet environments. Currently the Combi-CB is working in a wide variety of applications, particularly in retail outlets, timber yards and manufacturing plants where not only the use of all available shelf space is crucial but where safe handling of loads and manoeuvrability is paramount.
The Combi-CB is truly a multi-directional counterbalance, as there is no platform, perfect for palletised goods and long loads where they can be stacked directly from the floor up, enabling 100% use of lower storage areas. The small physical compact size of the Combi-CB allows it to load and unload containers and transport the pallets or long loads directly to the warehouse.
Contact Combilift Australia directly or ask your forklift supplier for information on the Combilift or Agria products. Combilift Australia will provide no obligation free customer site demonstrations as well as warehouse layouts to illustrate the best possible use of available storage space using the Combilift systems.
